I believe this reference to glibc was related to the ESQL (embedded
SQL) portion only.

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:
LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=5, typ=0x89(e), num=0x2 not implemented
^^^
NOTE: The "e" is actually the european "e" with two dots over it.
-STEVEl
P.S. How does one type special characters in X applications? (Like ALT-### on
the console)?
