Informix: Please buy Borland

Borland have just announced they are chopping 30% of their staff. Things don't sound well :-( "Industry Analysts" think Borland may be making itself attractive to a take-over by the highest bidder. Informix: Start bidding. Your databases are great, but your PC tools would get a huge boost if you could make use of Borland's talent. You wouldn't even have to build "J-Works" from the ground up, instead take Borland's "Latte" (J-Builder now). Well, *I* think it'd be a nice marriage. Your Unix skills, and their PC skills. (and Oracle have just licensed J-Builder and C++ Builder, which would be nice to scuttle, especially if (as has been hinted) Oracle are looking to buy Borland) Cheers, Kerry S -- ------------------------------------,------------------------------------------ Kerry Sainsbury, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz | THE INFORMIX FAQ v2.5 June 96 Quanta Systems, Auckland | http://www.iiug.org/techinfo/faq/ New Zealand.
