Re: Informix 4GL to Java Migration Tool and Y2K

Mr. Oscar: The aclaration is valid, the perspective of this mail is diferent of the article was i read in a magazine of Costa Rica. In this article the ArtInSoft company, say other things over Informix, concretely say over this OBSOLETE tool, problems with Y2K without aclaration over of bad programming practices, etc. In essence in this article the ArtInSoft company put importance over the translation Informix--Oracle. Althougt, if your perspective is diferently from the magazine article, i think what this is a excellent oportunity to your company for make a excellent news for your product. Thanks. Gustavo Murillo. Notes: Again, excuse the bad english.
