10.9 Email me!

Let me re-phrase that: send email to kwall@xmission.com if you find information or links that are incorrect or missing from this document. Please do not write and ask for help setting up a database, debugging 4GL code or optimizing a long-running query. I'm quite busy and you don't want to pay my consulting fee. If, after looking at the release notes, this FAQ, the Informix FAQ and searching the archive at the IIUG, you still haven't found the answer you need, post to comp.databases.informix.

I will be glad to consider almost anything for inclusion in this FAQ that is related to both Linux and Informix.
