If you want the source code that Illustra was forged from, go to www.postgresql.org... In the meantime, I'll keep prayin' with you for DS 9 on Linux, but I won't be holdin' my breath. I think Informix's feeling is that anyone needing commercial ORDBMS power won't be running it on a non-commercial UNIX, and I would agree if it weren't for cheap alpha clones. Don't get me wrong - I fought a successful battle to widely install many RedHat workstations and servers (only one NT left!) in my organization. What would really be cool is if Informix adopted Sybase's Linux license! -kevyn ;-{> Seth Grimes wrote: > Look past the press release on-line > (http://www.informix.com/informix/press/1998/linuxids.htm) to the > Informix Developer Network pages if you have access.
