It is also very, very obsolete. I seem to remember working with Turbo 4.00. I think it was this version that Plexus added multi-media support to and which Informix bought from them and released as OnLine 4.00. But I could be wrong. I certainly don't remember version 3.1 either, but that's not to say it didn't exist. There were version 3 products around, but most seemed to skip from 1.10/2.10 to 4.00 for some reason. Memories hey? If only we could remember them! :-) Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.

Plexus may have done Online/Optical. How did they add multi-media support to it. Did Plexus get the source code to Online?? >don't remember version 3.1 either, but that's not to say it didn't >exist.
