(written in 4gl, = compiled in C) All this is running under SCO-XENIX-V 2.3.2 (1989) ... and it is running and running and running OK. =20 But because I want to use modern hardware in my work (Internet, ZIP, = modern printer) I thougth, LINUX could be a chance. Unfortunatly I could not load this old INFORMIX under LINUX-suse = (MESSAGE-EROR). Do you suggest, what the reason could be? Is that due to the kernel-tuning? Or is it due to the old INFORMIX-version? > Which LINUX would you advise for this purpose? Or could I install my old XENIX under LINUX? Eventually as EMULATION? > Why don=B4t I load a modern INFORMIX? Because with a modern INFORMIX I would need modern programming-tools and = certenly I would have to reprogram all my softwarem which would be a = hard work.> Who knowes, where I can get the oldest INFORMIX, which would run under = LINUX?
