There are no docs to speak of in the bundle, so one has to RTFM Informix's WWW site PDF files.

Has anyone tried running this under the linuxulator?

Yep, and so far things are pretty good.  There are no docs to speak of in the bundle, so one has to RTFM Informix's WWW site PDF files.  Also, I'm getting a linux emulator error occasionally, but have not completely tracked down what operation is causing it.  I think it is the opening of a TCP connection right after starting sqlexecd.  This is the error that I get:

NOTE: The "e" is actually the european "e" with two dots over it.

P.S.  How does one type special characters in X applications?  (Like ALT-### on the console)? --------------FCC571C30909AE3EC8E3C359-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
