Informix ODS 7.3x support end??

Hi, I've heard from Informix software in the Netherlands that the support on IDS 7.X ends in June 2000 and that I should upgrade to IDS 9.21. Can someone confirm/deny this date? We will run IDS on a HP-UX 11 64 bit HP9000 machine with 8 processors and 6 GB of internal memory. We're planning to use is for 200-300 concurrent users in BaanERP. What are the pro's con's of using 9.x vs 7.x? Which version do we need? IDS 7.31.FC4? or ?? Where does the FC stands for? Is the 7.x 1.7 GB Shared memory limit a problem for us? Thanks in advance -- Greetings, Ditmar den Engelsen Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
