Uniface and Informix
Posted in 1993
Ive been evaluating Uniface for some time now and just recently ordered it. Im using it with Informix OnLine 4.1 on a DECsystem 5000 and the MS-Windows client. We're planning on adding support for the Mac client when its released. The product itself is really pretty slick, but the documentation could use improvement. One of the things that you'll probably hear is that there is a pretty steep learning curve to using it. I sort of agree with that, but having got up that curve a bit, it doesnt seem anywhere as mysterious as it did the first time I looked at it. (This is one of the areas that improved documentation would help). The users that Ive talked to have been very happy with product. Most of them say that they have not had to resort to using a 3GL, even for quite complicated applications. From what Ive seen and heard, the portability claims seem to be true. So far, im quite pleased with Uniface Joe Matuscak
