Re: INFORMIX-4GL AND JAVA

We found that we can make all or part of our 4gl applications available on the net (either HTML, or Java thin client) using Querix 4gl compilers. We would soon have all our applications on our site. It is easy and very cost effective. I believe querix have a demo running on their site you can look through.
