This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000D_01C11801.3B5C6770 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable =20 I=B4ve got an old INFORMIX-4gl 1.10.00B/2.10.00B >and an old INFORMIX-SQL Version 2.10.00B From the year 1989!!!=20 So I had programmed my software for General medicine. (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?

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?
