There used to be a Personal Edition for W95, but I have no idea where you can get it (if you still can). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

I could download it free of charge. From the home page, I selected "Download Evaluation Software" which took me to http://www.intraware.com/trialsoftware/index.html. On this page, at the top right hand corner was a list of top downloads. Happy to say that Informix DSA for Linux for on the top http://member.intraware.com/trialsoftware/images.html?PLNE=000200. On clicking that I was asked for my Intraware userid & password (which, surprisingly, I remembered). Membership is free of charge. That was it. Go get it! Rudy
