So if I create a form using Vifred on a Sun4, and access it using qbf on a sun3. then qbf coredumps. Same thing if I use vifred on a sun3 and qbf on a sun4. Well, I just got a call from tech support. They told me that I had to declare the architecture type (in the Ingres/Net files/ncf file) "different" for Sun3/Sun4 machines. That has fixed the problem. A pity they told me it had to be "same" when I installed the Sun4.....
