In my ignorance I didn't realize that to RUN Informix-4GL, I needed a 4GL development or a 4GL runtime license. I did know that you need a back-end for your 4GL executable and I guess I figured that if Informix-SQL was installed, that back-end would do. I apoligize for my stupidity, and just for the record...
