Anybody remember the author, or where > I might get a copy? You may be thinking of the list that Jonathan Leffler posted to the list in January of 1993. There is a copy of it in the FTP archive on mathcs.emory.edu (and quasar.ucar.edu). On mathcs, look in the directory /pub/informix/doc/i4glmods for the files part00 - part03. The file part part00 is an introduction, while parts 1-3 are shar's that build the file i4glmods. This list is quite comprehensive. In fact, its sheer size may have overwhelmed some people who might have otherwise contributed to its refinement. Some of its items may now be somewhat dated, but it would still be a good starting point. I would suggest that it *not* be incorporated directly into the FAQ, but be maintained as a companion document. > - Is there an official Informix-sourced wish list for future versions > of 4GL and SQL? Anybody @informix.com wanna let me know? There's nothing that *I* know of other than the [in]famous Feature Request database. There may of course be various working lists during development. If anyone knows of any such list, I'd appreciate hearing. >2. A list of revisions and the associated enhancements >------------------------------------------------------ This might be handy as a quick reference, especially for sites who are thinking about upgrading.
