In UNIX I have managed to create a second OWS instance completely my hand and change the exisiting one to use raw disk. However the second instance is NOT supported by Informix. PS I managed to get the second sagent running, by playing about with $INFORMIXSERVER and /etc/services. Not sure what sagent is used for though..., I suspect it is used for talking to the GUI tools on a PC... >Bryan Tonnet >batonnet@phase4.com.au -- David Williams
