Is there any form of Informix 7 run-time that I can easily install at my client's site that will provide enough of an Informix 7 environment to make my app happy? We are not ready, at this time, to upgrade our client's databases to Inforix 7. But, a simple installation of a runtime product and a change to some environment variables would be easy enough to do. I have heard of a product called CONNECT. Is this the runtime environment I might be looking for?
