I don't realy know about the 7.2 products yet, but ODBC from Informix is probably something you need in addition to the connect product. :Oh, I know about Openlink. It did not work for me (server :is UnixWare, client in Delphi 2.0) And you can still use the Lite drivers from OpenLink. They use I-Net (or Connect?) and need no server component. It may still be better than the Informix ODBC drivers, although I haven't tested it. On the server component for UnixWare which they don't currently have: did you talk to them. It should be a realy simple task for them to take some of their other server components and compile for UnixWare. May be they'll do it if you ask them. The OpenLink drivers (the once with the server component) are so much better than other alternatives it's worth an effort to get them.
