This is rapidly becoming somewhat stupid. The world is moving to 32 bit (Win 95/NT). You apperantly have some 32 bit software. You have hardly told anyone. You don't seem to have a real release of I-NET/Informix CLI/ESQL/C for Windows 95 although the NT version seems to work. Some are actually using it. You don't seem to have separate releases of these products. Although many are holding out on production on Win 95 we all want to test it and compare to Windows NT. Our customers ask - we have to say - no, Informix don't have that yet if you don't want to shell out for this ESQL/C development version which isn't supported on Win 95. The customers responce? ??????????????? What kind of company is that?#%$ Judging from the number of questions about this and I-NET/ODBC in general a lot of customers want these products. Also with the new OnLine's for Windows NT coming... No official Win 95 connectivity? Am I wrong in the above or what gives? It seems this should be relatively easy products to release officially? And tell the world! May be some priority on Windows connectivity in the new 32 bit world would be a good thing. As one who is moving to 32 bit Windows I would realy like to know something. What we realy want are very low priced, very easy to install, ODBC drivers for Windows so more, many many more, users can effectively use the installed Informix databases. This would translate to more license money to you. With all the trouble we have you now forgo this income and worse your reputation suffers. We are the first once to dislike that.
