IBM AIX supports WPARs, which allows us to run multiple instances of UniVerse on the same server. Perhaps UniData will work as well.

I could maybe use rhel test accts, but the conversion of files each time could be a problem. The endian problems, etc. For those Prelude users out there, I did hack up a PSICOPY that uses rsync so I can psicopy remotely. That still wont help with the conversion issues of mixing x86 and ppc. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
