Even press releases would be appreciated. >Who's the Informix contact to find out about this sort >of thing? There was a press release a couple of weeks ago regarding MCI and their benchmark/conversion of their ?? TB system in Denver to OnLine 8-XPS. You can get the article from the mathcs server. I know OnLine 8 - XPS will be highlighted at the User Conference next month. Beyond that any informix rep should be able to provide you information on the product. As I understand the product, functionally it is the same as 7.x however it has additional process optimization for MPP/LCP. There is also a version that will run on stand-alone SMTP boxes according to my local sales rep. -- Carlton Doe "It's not *over* until I win!" -- Les Brown DBA Resources, Inc.
