Found that Genero 2.02 applications won't connect through shared memory, so had to switch to sockets. Then found our ancient version of ISQL wouldn't connect to sockets so had to upgrade. Thankfully the previous problems in v7.3x versions have been resolved in the latest one, it was just a matter of finding the source for all the forms & reports written by the site themselves to rebuild them... (in fact one, can't remember which (ACE or PERFORM), would run stuff compilled on the original version of ISQL, but judged recompiling all of them as a better option and yes, some of them did produce compilation errors which had to be fixed)
