You would be pleased to hear that QueriX has developed a compatible compiler which can also run your programs on ORACLE. There is no need for recompilation from one Informix Engine to another. It is already Y2K Compliant. A JAVA version would be shown on the 20th of Feb. in Washington (Informix Tech. Forum). More information and DEMO version from http://www.querix.co.uk/ W. H.
