Interesting that you mentioned Borland. Did anyone notice that Borland just completed a buyout of Visigenic, which was founded and run by Roger Sippl, who founded Informix. Sippl is now the Chief Technology Officer for Borland. Could Borland be trying to get back into the database business? joe -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Lumbley(jlumbley@netcom.com) author of: "INFORMIX DBA Survival Guide" Slaving away on "INFORMIX DEBUGGERS Survival Guide", available early 1998 from Prentice Hall/Informix Press.
