I install I4GL for Linux on RH 6.0. When I execute program, it doesn't run correctly. I haven't function keys,colours & borders because there are no specifications for term linux in /etc/termcap or $INFORMIXDIR/etc/tercap. If anybody has termcap for term linux or xterm please mailto:josip.palcec@kr.tel.hr Thanks

Be my guest and down load them from our website. -- Compliments of QueriX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QueriX 4GL Compilers are Informix 4GL Compatible. Some features are: True Windows GUI Clients. ActiveX support. HTML Report Generation. More rigorous error handling. Connection to other RDBMS such as Oracle. Connection to all versions of Informix 4GL with no need to change compiler.

Be my guest and down load them from our website. Unfortunately, Informix 4gl for linux does not use terminfo, so your advice re: tic is not exactly correct. You would need to create a termcap entry, which can be done with a linux utility - I forget the name offhand, but it is something like infotocap or somesuch - if you have a compiled terminfo entry.
