Well, I could go in to a long disertation of the short comings of New Era and bore the *rap out of you, but I'll keep it short. There have been too many short comings of NE for it to exist. If you weigh cost of development of the product against its market penetration, NE has been a failure of sorts. Is it completely dead? I doubt it since Informix needs to have a product to fill that role in its ability to offer a complete solution. For it to survive however, there needs to be some drastic changes in its product. -Mikey PS Please forgive my run on sentances. Oh, and I almost forgot. Yes, you are correct about Viewpoint Pro.
