Re: Informix Database Admin Guide...Out of Date ?

I agree -- I prefer paper books -- I also preferred the FrameViewer version of the manuals ( 7.22 ) than the Acrobat version -- I still use it all the time instead of the Acrobat version -- unless I need to look something up that is post 7.22. The search capability is better -- there are not two sets of page numbers, etc. But I suspect the reason Informix (and the rest of the world) is going to Acrobat is price -- it's cheap!
