Differences between RT & DV versions of Engines
Posted in 1997
Hi People! This is a gentle request to the person at Informix whose well-intentioned idea it was to post the Ports List at www.informix.com in multiple links according to date. While I appreciate that much thought may have gone into this endeavour, my experience has shown that the level of frustration experienced now when searching for *all* ports available for a particular platform (as I think, would be the reason this list was developed in the first place and the search used by most users) is exponentially higher than in the past when lists were ordered by platform and then by date. IMHO, this is an example of computing gone bad. If you put yourself in an average user's shoes, after spending thousands of $$$ purchasing a system, and settling on one or two platforms, he will not have the time to search your site every 2 weeks to see if any ports were released for his chosen platforms. I get the distinct feeling this part of the system was put together quickly, with the intention that a search engine would be implemented soon. I await this improvement. In the meantime, has anyone figured out a way to efficiently get the info I need via a quicker method?
