RE: Install hangs on NT 4.0

The opportunity to load up Informix was something I just stumbled on, but didn't really need. There was a reasonable looking SQL reference book which included a copy of Informix, and I figured what the heck, the book looks pretty decent, and Informix is the only one of the databases discussed with which I'm not already experienced -- the worst that can happen is that I throw the disk away and keep the book. I should have just given up earlier and left well enough alone with the Informix installation. The book turns out to be pretty good, so far. > I think it's rash to judge a product not working on a platform > that is finicky using a port that's not certified. > ... > The fact that you chose NT as your test platform says enough... > :-) Well, that's the version Informix chose to release through Osborne (unless you think Osborne pirated it, which seems rather unlikely). I prefer Unix myself. > But anyway, I wish you well with the other databases. Thanks. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but they get the job done. Best of luck with Informix. Bob
