I'm currently working as a Project Leader on a major database conversion involving Informix 4GL. I'm not sure as to what kind of access we could provide to our system (I'd have to check with the Systems Administrator), but we've done some pretty phenomenal (I'm being modest) things with 4GL as far as user interfaces are concerned. If you're interested, I can pursue the matter... Also, at the company where I was previously employed, I was directly involved in the Dbase (and variations) vs. Informix debate, and needless to say, the Dbase end got trashed... Let me know...
