It doesn't take advantage of smartdrv.sys, although that makes Windows faster in general. We don't have plans to do anything with the new version of OS/2. We haven't had any demand to to any- thing for OS/2 2.0." Also, Ricardo Guido Lavelle was asking (again) about support for retrieving BLOBs from OnLine to a DOS client. I thought I had replied to that one, but here goes again: the 4.1 release of I-NET PC and ESQL/C for DOS will fully support (1) DOS 5.0 (2) Windows 3.0 (3) Version 4 server features, including BLOBs. Release 4.1 for DOS is expected during Q2 of this year (soon!). Tony Lacy-Thompson What's the one piece of DB Product Manager, Informix UK information a roadmap doesn't have?
