I'm not "Informix", but I was at one of their conferences last week, so here's some information I picked up: - NE 3.0 will not support Motif. It will be Win95 (NT too I guess) only. - There was talk of some sort of compatability "class library" which would let NE3.0 apps run under Win 3.11 though. - NE 3.something will generate Java code as well as (?) C++. This ties in with the Illustra/Universal Server product, where the DataBlade functions can be written in C++ or Java. - NE 3.0 *looks* pretty (based on a ScreenCam I studied), and the new WP apparently *does* understand your own classes (yay!). - CodeWright featured in the ScreenCam, but it's not really an *integrated* development environment. I wish I'd managed to get to the NewEra-specific track-session, but I was suffering from a *horrible* hangover and it was simply not possible to get out of bed in time to make that session. Hi ho. Did anybody else out there get to the session? Learn anything? I'm sure looking forward to experimenting with it once it lands.
