Re: Informix for Macintosh - new release?

spitz@GAN03X (Richard Spitz) writes: The message you saw was concerning the upcoming beta test of ESQL/C and INET-5.01 for Macintosh. These products are scheduled to be released later this year, and will let you write Macintosh tools that communicate with a remote Informix database. Plans are in the works for Macintosh releases of several other Informix tools later this year. Stay tuned for more information. INFORMIX-OnLine, I-STAR, SE, I-NET, ESQL/C 5.01 well as ISQL and I-4GL family are available for A/UX 3.0 servers. At this time there are no plans to port these products to MacOS, which is more of a client than a server operating system. (Please, no flames here, I'm a big Mac advocate!)
