    The patch can be downloaded from:

    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 InformixAdaptorPatch_NT.tar.gz on C:\tmp and are using the Bourne Shell included with WebObjects or OPENSTEP Enterprise , 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/InformixAdaptorPatch_NT.tar.gz | gnutar xvf -
