Hyperscript Tools/Wingz

To: All Is anyone else here using Wingz or Hyperscript Tools for developing front ends to databases??? If so, I am inerested in hearing your opinions repgarding porting of applications from one platform to another, and if you have done it, porting from Wingz 1.1 to Hyperscript Tools. I am in the middle of development of a system with Wingz 1.1, on SCO Unix with the SE engine. Performance is not great, but then we are loading down the 386/33's with a lot of stuff (Unix, X, motif, SE & Wingz). We'll work on that later though . . . Anyways, right now, everything is being developed to run on stand alone SCO machines. Eventually, we will pull the database off the machines and access the DB remotely. I assume this does not require much change except in how the application logs onto the database, assuming I keept the whole things in unix. But eventually, we will probably be asked to port this to MS-Windows. What are the potential problems? Are fonts a problem? Will the screens need to be adjusted? What are our options for setting up the DB? Can informix run the engine and Wingz all under Windows? What would be required to run the DB on a server on a PC based network? What should I keep in mind for the design? Right now, all functions for setting all colors, fonts, styles, and stuff are consolidated into one single script, so I can change them instantly. I believe I have made anything which is OS specific a variable (such as a directory separator), so I can port the application quickly. Any unexpected nuisances I should watch out for??? I tried asking Informix sales reps before . . . They'll call right back. I'm thinking of leaving a note for my replacement years from now when I leave the company so he is not caught unaware when someone calls back with an answer . . . If it were all up to me, I'd pull the DB off onto a unix server and never even touch DOS based machine, but we don't have much choice. Any help/hits would be appreciated! ___ X OLX 2.2 X We tortured the data until it confessed.
