What does the IIUG actually do?? I know they have a website and the cdi listing etc but what do the board members actually do??? Why isn't it called the North American User Group 'cos if you don't attend the worldwide conference (??) then you don't seem to be able to influence anything. I agree with Neil the only UK based people I know who have attended 'Worldwide Conferences' are Informix employees (they don't pay), the IIUG board members (they don't pay) and members of large multi-nationals (they have loadsa money) -- Paul Watson # WF Software # If it was easy Tel ++44 1436 674729 # Everybody could do it Fax ++44 1436 678693 # www.wfsoftware.com/informix #
