Informix grabs 4 on startup, much to my surprise we ran out quickly, 'spose a little basic arithmetic would have solved that problem. Though, it occurred on 7.31.UC4, not on 7.24... wierd. > >Informix > >7.3 yes yes yes.

Though, must admit, aside from one or two af problems caused by a problem with our raid controller playing up, informix 7.31 on 4.3.3 has been rock solid, damnside faster than 5. brett -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brett's fourth law of UNIX administration...
