If you're only using one NT box, putting XPS--er ADS or whatever it is now--on one box is kinda silly. But, since it is NT, why not put XPS on it's own system? Then you have a 7.30 system, and an XPS system. You'll want to use more than one box with XPS or it's just an exersize in installing another engine. There are some nice tools with XPS, but the engine is designed for parallelism, and that can only be done with more than one machine. I wouldn't mix the 7.x and 8.x products now under any circumstances, especially on NT. Just my two cents... Tim -- Tim Schaefer tschaefe@mindspring.com http://www.inxutil.com Informix on Linux?
