What platforms and is this Beta or live? One other question when is 5.0 4gl due and is the debugger going to come out at the same time this time? One last thing porting Informix code does have its occasional problems but they aren't many and can normally be worked round. If you port RDS version it appears to be even easier. Porting Informix is easy compared to porting other software that I have worked with.
