The NewEra rumour mill...

Future Directions For Informix-NewEra? The following was gleaned from a sales presentation by the SA Informix distributor - I take no responsibility for the accuracy of my information or the quality of my notes!!! 1. Crystal Reports 5.0 is available as a class library. [BFD] 2. Mobile 1.0 for remote / mobile comms is available. 3. Version 3.0 will include full OLE2 support. [As MS announces OLE3 :-] 4. Version 3.10 will include the ability to run NewEra as a WWW form. 5. Version 3.20 will support full WWW / database transaction handling. 6. Version 3.21 will include a Java development environment. 7. Version 4.0 is rumoured to be a complete rewrite. [As was 3.0 :-] 8. Version 3.0 is on track for release in December, as is Universal Server. [And the cheque is in the post!] Comments/observations? I'm especially interested in any info about Mobile... -- Ciao, Billy +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Billy Wheeler Junior Programmer / Director The West Solutions Group | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The Informix FAQ is at: http://www.iiug.org/techinfo/faq/faq_top.html | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | .... oh, and Kerry, I see it's _still_ not at rtfm.mit.edu... :-) | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
