Porting Informix-4GL to Windows-NT OS
Posted in 1996
As I understand, Informix doesn't have any plans of porting Informix-4GL to Windows NT OS. Our company would like to be able to run our Informix-4GL application on the NT platform. We are planning on porting the application to a GUI environment, but we feel that in some situations, especially in industrial environments, a character-based terminal (such as a Wyse 50) will suffice in running the application. Some companies don't have the resources to purchase a PC for every workstation and an inexpensive character-based terminal will hold up better in that environment. Our application runs on the Unix OS, so I'm very familiar with that, but not with NT. Will NT support character-based terminals? It would be great if Informix would port Informix-4GL to the NT OS. That way we would be able to tap the NT marketplace. Does anyone else share these views? Thanks for any comments on this subject! Candy McCall On-Line Computing, Inc. candym@olcinc.com
