Steve, We are building a full UCS-2 compliant application in Illustra on NT. We are rolling our own GUI with MFC/VC++. Double byte in - double byte out. The new Informix Universal Server is going to handle Unicode with UTF-8 encoding. This will force us to retool our ap somewhat. We have no firm plans to migrate just yet!
