Not from Informix. But go to http://www.querix.co.uk. Their 4GL clone has been available Linux-native for a while. >Can someone recommend a good primer (online, preferably)? If you knew 4GL in the past you have little problem - it hasn't really changed in years :-(. Head over to ftp.iiug.org and grab some examples to refresh the DRAM :-). > Does anyone here think the 4GL kit will be release before the iBCS >will be available for the newest kernels (2.1.110 in particular)? No way. I released the first official iBCS for 2.1 last weekend. (tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/BETA/ibcs2/ibcs-2.1-*) It says alpha but we've been running it on our main development machine for a couple of weeks now. It has a hosted SCO devsys and SCO/Informix SE+4GL so any bugs aren't in things people here are likely to worry about. > This is a great aliance for consumers- Informix needs more growth to >battle Oracle, et al, Well, they've grabbed a six month start on Oracle...
