The original contributer was looking for scrolled reportd in a window. I would imagine something like: OPEN WINDOW win1, AT 3, 3 WITH 10 ROWS, 40 COLUMNS PAGE <textfile> I don't believe that the compiler should be responsible for checking line lengths, simply foreshortening long lines should be ok, that would make the implementation easier anyway. > Or under a GUI, > RUN "/usr/openwin/bin/textedit /tmp/report.01" WITHOUT WAITING > You could even pass -Geometry arguments... that should impress the troops...

I'll shut up 'cos I'm at home and can't check, but I'd've been willing to bet real money that my installation instructions said, "Create a user/group informix, log in as user informix, install software..."
