Informix marketing
Neil Truby recommended the Informix ICON newsletter site, noting its EGL material on porting 4GL applications and something called Informix RunTime, and complaining it allowed reading each issue only once. Another poster hit a Visual FoxPro ODBC error on the site, scottishpoet said it worked, and Neil joked they were not using Informix or DB2 for it. Mostly informal chat.

I received today an email from "Informix Marketing" directing me to the ICON programme webite at http://www.informixconnect.com/icon for the latest edition of the "newsletter". At the end it wished me a happy holiday and looks forward to seeing me in 2005, so I guess it's come out a little behind schedule! Nonetheless it has some interesting stuff in it, particualrly about EGL, where it tries to address that matter which seems to be causing lots of confusion "Will I be able to port by 4GL application?", and about something called Informix RunTime (I think), which looked jolly interesting, although I'd like someone else to have a look and explain what it might mean in practice. Anyway, I commend it to your attention - well worth a look. Neil P.S. As you'll see I've already forgotten some of the detail. THE most annoying thing about ICON is that it will only let you read each "newsletter" once. I just went back to check some details and was told to come back in six weeks for the next installment :-(
I'd like to have a look, Neil, I really would. What does: Welcome Back!

It means they're not even using DB2 for this one, let alone Informix :-)
