This patch is version number 250.1. The Informix Adaptor shipped with the EOF 2.0 release was version 250. You can find the version of the Informix adaptor in the Informix Login panel.
Note: This patch is only for use with EOF 2.0 installed on Windows NT as part of OPENSTEP or WebObjects.
In order to install this patch, you will need to use gzip and gnutar to expand the attachment. You'll end up with a supplemental NextLibrary directory, which you can then copy into your existing NextLibrary directory. You need to log in as Administrator to install this patch.
Caution: The patch will replace \NextLibrary\Executables\InformixEOAdaptor.dll and the
entire \NextLibrary\Frameworks\InformixEOAdaptor.framework directory, so you should
take care to create a back up these items before installing over the top of them.
Assuming you have 2494_InformixAdaptorPatch_NT.tar.gz on C:\tmp and are using the
Bourne Shell provided by NeXT, here are the commands to install the patch: $ cd $NEXT_ROOT
$ mv NextLibrary/Executables/InformixEOAdaptor.dll NextLibrary/Executables/InformixEOAdaptor.dll.bak
$ mv NextLibrary/Frameworks/InformixEOAdaptor.framework NextLibrary/Frameworks/InformixEOAdaptor.framework.bak
$ gzip -d -c c:/tmp/2494_InformixAdaptorPatch_NT.tar.gz | gnutar xvf -
