Great news indeed.
To stem the tide of messages I'll say thank you Jonathan and thank you
Informix for making this possible. This is now the second DBI driver,
after DB2, that's officially supported by the database vendor (as far
as I'm aware).
I'll do whatever I can to help if help is needed.
Tim.
