RE: D4gl and SE 5.10.UC7

Have to put my 2c worth in here - yes, I know I'm biased, but there are a couple of comments here that I cannot let pass unremarked. I'm not aware of any *documented* features of Dynamic 4GL that do not work - the products are tested hard (by 4J's and an enthusiastic group of Beta testers) before release. Sure, bugs are reported (I can't think of any product that is totally bug free), but they are usually fixed asap by the development team. On upgrades, I personally would not dream of deploying an application or upgrade without thorough testing first :-) Regards, Peter Collett mailto:peterc@4js.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.iiug.org]On Behalf Of Wolfgang Zager Sent: 08 December 2000 08:57 To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: D4gl and SE 5.10.UC7 Jonathan Leffler schrieb: > > Gerard MacNeil wrote: > > Will Dynamic 4gl work with SE 5.10.UC7? > > It should do.

SE is great; install and forget.

One major problem on 4js is, that in each version I know, there are several bugs. Installation of 4js is not that hard to do, but upgrading can cause some trouble. Especially that it always happens, that features working in the old version, won't work in the new one. So each upgrade needs a complete test of Your application. **************************************************************************** *** * Any opinions written in this e-mail are my own.
