A co-worker here who used to work with another company that was an Informix partner, has told me that they used to get the Sun versions "hot off the press" and frequently had problems with them. Their experience was that by the time the "second tier" platforms were released, a majority of those problems were solved on the Sun, and never appeared on those second tier platforms. One side is the dull edge, not as glamorous, but... the other side is the bleeding edge. --- ~ SPEED 1.40 [NR] ~
