They have all kinds of software in China. But to admit as a major software company that you even do business with a communist country. What a shame. I wouldn't sell anything to a country that can't treat their people like decent human beings. It's bad enough our government rewards them for their murders and genocide, now we have big shot Vegas software hustlers selling software to them. Geeez... > >their people worse than cattle.

I trivialized the crown jewel, sorry. At any rate, DSA just got here, I don't think it's disappearing so quickly. But you're right, I think Universal Server will replace DSA provided it gets out to the market quickly. But this depends on Informix, if they can reach down far enough to the rest of us out here--when they're done with China of course. Am I the only one who is honestly puzzled as to why they would do business with communist China? and even more puzzled why they'd make a press release about it. Rather tacky, especially in light of the human rights oppression communist China enjoys. I hope the communists appreciate the product. They get to see it before I do. They must be pretty important people with Informix. Maybe they'll give us a report on it. -- Tim Schaefer \\\\|// tschaefe@mindspring.com (6 6) ------------------------oOOo---( )---o00o--------- http://www.mindspring.com/~tschaefe A non-communist web site for non-communist Informix software users.
