To put it into a book, you would have to pay people to review every post to go into the book for technical accuracy. That would require a bunch of folks with varying fields of expertise (4gl, SQL, server architecture, etc.), which would not be cheap. Speaking personally, I would not give approval for any endeavor that uses MY knowledge and expertise to make ANY money, whether it be modest or otherwise, for anyone other than my employer. Besides, who would pay for often questionable info you can get for free right here? -- Dave Kosenko, Informix SE Organization --------------AB159E87051 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="Disclaim" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Disclaim" ************************************************************************* Disclaimer: All opinions expressed in this message are well-reasoned and insightful; needless to say, they are not those of Informix Software, its partners or lackeys.
