Run-time licenses do not contain anything that does not exist in the development license. Perhaps if you had asked a clearer question, you would have got a clearer answer. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche A smile is a gift that is free to the giver and precious to the recipient.

Maybe: If I install the 4GL RDS and ISQL development software, can I run the generated programs (forms, reports) without installing the run-time versions as well? To which the answer is "Yes", with a minor caveat - ISQL (Dev) distributes a program called 'isql'; ISQL (RunTime) distributes a program called 'isqlrt'. If your run-time environment is set up so it only works in the presence of 'isqlrt', you have to do some finagling to get things to work - or install the RT version after all. I don't think the same issue exists in I4GL - the i4gl developers environment is not part of the I4GL-RT (nor r4gl part of I4GL-RDS RT), but there's no reason for a non-programmer to use those anyway. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.01 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
