Thank you! > Hi Josh, We use a package called MailBase/ix from a company called The Mathen Group who are based in the USA (NY state, I think). Runs on Informix OnLine (and SE, I think), written in 4GL (works well on WYSE terminals). Pretty comprehensive (accounting modules, general ledger etc) - may be too expensive, but I don't know any figures. The operation of the company I work for (mail order music retail) relies totally on this package, and has done for the last 3 or 4 years. I'm afraid I don't know if they have a web page or anything - maybe someone else on c.d.i. does? (BTW, are there any other MBx users out there?). Cheers, Richard.

Plan: learn 4GL, Java and Omnis (now what shall I do next week?)
