I have been working with Informix Universal Server since March 1997. It is the best thing that has happened to databases since SQL, and it really works. If you liked Illustra, just imagine the functionality of Illustra with the performance and robustness of Informix DSA. 2. Having seen what the IUS technology is all about, I`ve recently bought Informix shares. I am sure they are on the right track technologically. Their financial problem is self-inflicted due to marketing mistakes, which will, hopefully, be amended. Doron Rippel doron@usa.net
