In Response To: Re: Informix 7.31 (Alpha Unix TRUE64) hangs in "Al (Art Kagel)

Hello Art,

I've been using the majority of the latest 10 years working on several hosts
with several IDS versions on Tru64 (not TruE).
Yes, it's supported (still is) although we didn't release 11.x for it due to
the fact that the OS is deprecated.
It was a very stable OS... I rarely hit any bugs on the OS... and one of
them was very "entertaining"... I'll probably miss it, although it was a bit
awkward at times...

Regards.
