GUI! } I have to disagree with you on that statement, 4GL/gx is a true front-end product. Informix doesn't even sell a development license for 4GL/gx, only a runtime license. The actual executable that comes with 4GL/gx is "fglgx" is a direct replacement for "fglgo". You compile your code using "fglpc" and the user on a character-based terminal types "fglgo progname" and the user on a GUI terminal types "fglgx progname". The same executable is used by both users... only the runner is different.
