Hello, I'm trying to port our software from Digital Unix to Linux, with Informix IDS 7.3 on both systems. Almost everything worked fine, but what I'm still missing are the Informix tools for reports (saceprep/sacego) and forms (sformbld/sperform). In the DEC Version these programs are identical copies of 'isql', which is part of the Informix-SQL Package (I-SQL). The internet page of IBM says that I-SQL is now part of Informix 4GL. So I downloaded a trial version of 4GL, but there seems to be neither 'isql' nor the other tools in it. Was 'isql' discontinued? Are there other tools to compile and use ACE-reports and forms? Am I just blind? Thanks Thomas Albrecht

I think it is misleading (actually, wrong!), and you should be able to get ISQL as a separate product. > Was 'isql' discontinued?

Aubit 4GL compiler has a ACE compatible compiler: http://aubit4gl.sf.net Aubit is an OpenSource project. Ther is also an OpenSource clone of Perform (Performulator) on Source Forge. Andrej
