9 Mar 1987 I received several inquiries concerning the Informix User's Group. Rather than respond individually, I will post on the net since comp.databases is rather sparsely used at the moment. From Dan Flak: I am having problems getting mail to the following sites: Al Gettier at logico!ism780c!seismo!ihnp4!infosw!al Murray Andrews at logico!ism780c!seismo!munnari!trlde.oz!andrews From Ray Tripamer: Path posted is ...!JIMI!ray. It should be ...!jimi!ray From Peter Smith: "Do you know of anyone who markets a suitable version of Informix?" From Kurt Horton: "I've encountered a few bugs and would like a few clarifications of omissions from the manuals. Is this a useful forum to pose such queries". - (I can't see why not - Dan). From Jyrki Yli-Nokari: is an Informix distributor in Findland. From Peter Mabey: (in regards to SQL) "There's a bug we've come across: when a database has over 42 tables (i.e. more than can be displayed in a single submenu screen) various submenu options don't work which should let you either select from a list on screen or type in a name. For example, on selecting TABLE Info, we get the 'choose the table' message, but after a pause, in which INFORMIX presumably discovers that it hasn't room to display the list of all the tables, we just go back to the TABLE submenu, without even being given the chance to enter the name of the table. The same sort of thing happens for TABLE Repair and Drop (but not Alter, which displays the first 42 table names) and for FORM Generate & REPORT Generate."

I'll try to keep up with a weekly update of messages I receive, but I encourage you all to write to the people who have similar hardware / software / requirements directly. My normal end of month posting of the complete Informix Users Group list will be a little early this month since I will be going on vacation. -- ======================================================================== | A good sense of humor cures trwrb \ | none of the world's problems. psivax -!logico--\ | It just makes them easier to ism780c / \ | bear. -!slovax!flak |================================= hplsla \ / | Dan Flak - R & D Associates fluke -!tikal---/ | 3625 Perkins Lane SW uw-beaver / | Tacoma, Wa 98499 | (206)-581-1322 ========================================================================
