Re: Informix Licensing and Pricing Schemes.
Under a licensing and pricing subject, the replies were an off-topic exchange about vi keys. Jonathan Leffler said vi is powerful though not intuitive, david discussed reaching h and l with the right hand, and Surfer! noted the right arrow key moves the cursor if the terminal description is correct. Nothing about Informix licensing was discussed.

I use vi all the time; intuitive it is not, but powerful it is. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
Ob Quote: "l = move cursor right?" Well if you are using Ctrl-F /Ctrl B for forward and back paging with your left hand then the keys h-l are still accessible via your right hand. And / and n are easily accessible by your right hand. Pity l is to the right on the keyboad!
