If you would like to contribute, please submit a one-page abstract of your article to Patrick Johnston, Tech Notes editor, via e-mail (cspubs@informix.com) or by fax (650-926-6626). The abstract should include a general description of your intended article and its relevance to the Tech Notes audience, the relevant Informix product(s) or technology, and specifics on how to contact you (email, phone, etc.).
