New features in 7.50.xC2 With IBM Informix 4GL 7.50.xC2, you can deploy your 4GL functions on the Web without rewriting any source code. The w4gl utility uses your existing 4GL code to create Web services. These Web services can be used by, for example, Java and .Net applications on the Web without you doing any Java or .NET programming. Your business logic is maintained in 4GL, and made available to a variety of Web clients by the Web services. New features in 7.50.xC1 Informix 4GL 7.50.xC1 supports UTF-8 character encoding. To convert your existing databases to UTF-8, use a standard converter or enter the non-English characters manually. English language users can unload data from the existing en_us database and reload it into the new utf8 database. -- RGB
