Are the a lot of customized : runners out there? A library? Yeah, that's common, especially since support for direct file I/O has always been lacking in Informix 4GL. FourGen Software distributes a C library with their products intended to link with c4gl or make custom runners with cfglgo. It includes a function, c_readfile(), which is similar to what you have done. FourGen's is the only such library I know of in widespread use. : Thanks in advance... : Roger Meyers -- roger@stratsoft.com : Strategic Software Solutions -- Jeff Sturm
