SE under Windows
Posted in 1994
Hello All I have just been reading an article on Chicargo in a UK magazine, After reading it it has struck me that if chicargo boots into Windows without MS-DOS and then runs all MS-DOS programs in secure DOS boxes is I-Net or SE For Dos going to be able to comunicate with 4GL for Windows or Hyperscript for that matter, because we cant load SE in a DOS box at present under 3.* Does anybody know what Informix are doing about this ?. Would any one at Informix like to let us know so that we can indicate to clients what the future may be. It does not have to be fixed as developers we all know that projects can change. I for one would not hold them to any answers they might give at this time. Lets face it by the middle of next year every PC you may buy will come with chicargo, just take WFG as an example has any one found a new PC with Windows 3.1 rather than WFG recently ? I assume that Microsoft and Informix talk to each other ? Mike Chatwood mike.chatwood@almac.co.uk PS The above was written before I read the press release re new versions of SE. Does the release of a Windows SE mean that it will run on Chicargo ? Will the new Windows SE be client server ie Will I be able to run a server on one PC and connect to it from another PC using WFG's built in networking I hope so ? Mike Chatwood.
