I, too, would like to speak on behalf of Fourgen's tools, which have provided a framework for my forms for the past few years. I have a genuine appreciation for their architecture and have enjoyed developing various complementary extensions. As a developer, among other things, I find myself wondering about the scope of a project. Fourgen's tools has encouraged that approach and has helped me provide better quality to my customers. I would recommend Fourgen's tools to those committed to Informix-4GL. Edwin Babadaglian edwinb@panix.com
