I�ve got an old INFORMIX-4gl 1.10.00B/2.10.00B

>and an old INFORMIX-SQL Version 2.10.00B

From the year 1989!!!

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.



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�t 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 knoes, where I can get the oldeset INFORMIX that would run under LINUX?

Many thanks for help
