First of all, thx for your answer... :)
WHERE SHOULD I START? I've never worked on Informix Platform! Do I have to
find the set of routines you were talking about and then try to wrap them
using SWIG? Is it hard to find on the system the basic C-ISAM routines?
Sorry for the dumb question but I'm newbie on ISAM files...I always worked
on RDBMS.
thx
