The release cycles are confusing. 7.1 was followed by 7.2 and 7.3. But, 8.x has been released interleaved with those versions. And 9.00 and 9.1x were released after 7.2x, IIRC. IDS.2000 and Foundation.2000 are version 9.2x; IDS.2000 is the expected upgrade for people using 7.x servers. > Is there a nice place where I could find a list of the differences > between the versions? Try the Informix web site, but I'm not sure there's a succinct summary of the differences. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
