IBM still ships and supports AIX. Business isn't what it used to be,
but Linux hasn't swallowed up the entire server market yet. Many shops
still run on mainframes and mid-range servers that are not Linux only.
I agree that the array support of 3.0 would be handy on the server.
Also, there were some rev_db changes in 2.9 that need to be examined,
from what I can see.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Is IBM still shipping that? I'd thought with all their investment in
Linux they weren't putting more into AIX, no?
I need to do some server based programming (not CGI), so 2.5.1 may be
sufficient
Probably the only thing useful on the server is multi-dimensional
arrays, introduced in v3.0. Most other enhancements have been on the
GUI side.
it would just be comforting to know that Unix was not being abandoned.
Don't know for sure. Have you written supp...@runrev.com?
Most of the Unix OSes they used to support (Irix, Sun, etc.) are no
longer shipping, with many of those companies following IBM's lead in
migration to Linux.
