Installation instructions for the Informix RDBMS are provided by your Informix vendor.
Please refer to the file SERVERS_7.2 in the release directory of your Informix distribution, for more information about version 7.2 and above.
The Informix Acu4GL interface is an add-on module that must be linked with the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime system, Version 4.3 or later. For this reason, you'll need a C compiler to install the interface. The interface is compatible with Informix version 5.0 and later versions.
Important: Please make sure that you have obtained the proper Informix libraries for your version of Informix. The libraries and contact information for Informix can be found in Getting Started.
The interface is shipped using either TAR or CPIO format, depending on the type of machine you have. The label on the product medium tells you which format has been used.
Create a directory on your machine to hold the interface and then type one of the following commands:
tar xfv device <return>
or
cpio -icvBd < device <return>
In either case, device is the appropriate hardware device name (for example, /dev/rdiskette or /dev/rmt0).
NOTE
Sites using Texas Instruments System 1500 should add an uppercase T to the cpio options (-icvBdT).
