Aside from those, 4.1 has been quite good. --------- End of Included Message --------- I agree... while there are some significant problems the wins are big ones. Especially, the CONSTRUCT enhancements make all of the other problems worth the hassels. What I think this calls for Informix to look at its beta site procedures. Perhaps expanding it or targeting developers with particularly ambitious applications ... ambitious in complexity rather than impact. ------------------------------- Brian Colfer | UC San Francisco |------------------------| | Dept. of Lab.
