The smart money seems to be saying Delphi. The local shop was selling off the competetive upgrade package for '99 so I bought a copy of that to see how I get on. I'll have to brush up my Pascal. I havn't used it since I moved to an Onyx box running a database called Marathon in '81 or '2... To tell the truth the Oracle screen painter runs like an early Mac on my PC but what do you expect of a 25MHz 486 SX? I don't know what New Era would do on the same platform bu Delphi's OK. Informix seems to be fighting back. I heard of a deal for freelancers in the UK whereby there was an offer of Informix 3 and 4 day courses zipped into 5 days plus a copy of the software and a year's support for the total cost of the 3 & 4 day courses. Pity I heard about it too late and anyway I havn't gone freelance yet. Ian Ian
