Salaam, I don't think NewEra 3.0 is out yet. I found no mention of it on the Informix website yesterday. As for the current version of NewEra, Delphi runs ring around it. If portability is not an issue (if you're going to use your stat app on Windows only), I would recommend highly that you use Delphi over NewEra. Good luck, Joe Loutzenhiser joe @ projecta.com On 18 Dec 1996 23:05:41 GMT, bi495@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Salaam Yitbarek) wrote: > >Hi, > We are considering NewEra 3.0 for developing a front-end >to statistical data.
