It was called - drumroll - Informix. It even had a program called 'informix' in the distribution.

MMMM. Imagine that. I knew there was a dos version of Informix (or am i getting senile here?), but a pre-SQL version of Informix. I allways thought Informix was build around SLQ in the first place. Never to old to pick up a new item. And Obnoxio, you Clown, you're even older than I am! And people out age don't *pick* fights, people bring them to us,a nd after that we go and get some liquids (:-))) R.A.
