Can you access Informix files which were copied from the UNIX system and put on an Win95 hard drive? And if so, how do you configure the ODBC driver to do this? We are in the process of migrating a proprietary Informix-based application from Unix to our NT platform. The entire system, including the UNIX box, is an unknown quantity to the in-house staff, so we FTP'd the dat, idx, and h files off the UNIX box and onto my local hard drive. The Informix ODBC drive insists on having information like Server and Host which are no longer applicable (I tried telnetting into myself and failed). Please reply to DC@SEVERSON.COM and thank you
