Re: Informix 4.10 Upgrade & Informix ODBC Issues

Greetings ... Check-out SQL retriever from Visionware (Now owned by SCO) http://www.visionware.co.uk or http://www.sco.com It supports Versions 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Informix on a wide range of platforms. You get the both the Server and Client software in the pack. So no need for INET and ISTAR. In the U.K. it cost '245.00 for a single user version (Client & Server) with discounts for multi-user versions.
