I assume that your applications are written in Informix-4GL or Informix-SQL, in which case the migration to Windows-NT is basically not possible. You would then have to re-code those apps using Informix-NewEra or some other client/server tool, such as Delphi, Visual Basic or so forth... It is basically a complete redevelopment of your existing applications. Why not just update your Informix products and SCO to the latest versions? -- Ciao, Billy Nose to the ground and ear to the grindstone in: Johannesburg "Wow, that's a big word for an eight-year old!!"
