I don't know more about it, but will be investigating this more quite soon. Somebody has already posted some bugs related to this product, earlier in May, or maybe earlier. At the last user group meeting here the INFORMIX guys confirmed that it is the same product. The price shown at Netscapes' pages reflects a $200 difference between Livewire, and Livewire Pro; the Livewire Pro comes with Workgroup Server from INFORMIX AND you get Crystal Reports, all for the low low price ( last I checked ) for $695.00 US. http://home.netscape.com/comprod/products/tools/livewire_datasheet.html http://home.netscape.com/comprod/server_central/product/pricing/index.html This is a steal of a price, and needless to say, I'm quite shocked. But it costs INFORMIX nothing to sell it, according to the INFORMIX source here. If this product is any good it means INFORMIX is serious about getting into the mainstream data base community. Wonders never cease. :-) -- \\\\|// (6 6) ==============================---o00--(_)--00o---============================ Tim Schaefer http://www.shadow.net/~tschaefe The Computer Business Company, Inc. tschaefe@shadow.net =============================================================================
