In Online the only way to have multiple copies of the same database is to run multiple instances. Think of the implications on a sw development shop, for example, who needs several versions of a database at different revision levels and different development and testing phases, if you what you said was true. Fortunately I have read nothing in the Informix licence agreements that would require seperate licensing as you claim. -- Hugh Grierson hugh@fujitsu.co.nz 15C, cloudy
