-
- Welp, considering the source I got these prices from (Informix Sales Rep),
- why should I question the existence of a NEW 4GL. Especially, since I DO NOT
- want it? As I said, I am only interested in ISQL && ESQL/C.
-
- So why did I mention it at all?
- just maybe, there might be someone out there who wants to use 4GL and use might
- trade my 4GL for a new version of ISQL - ESQL/C. Hey I'm just trying to save
- a buck. My versions are perfectly legal and I'm doing it above board. How
- much does the 4GL cost NEW? Much more than the $324 upgrade cost I bet!

- Informix wouldn't do that and you know it! I think their product is the best
- thing since slice bread. If you think they'd sell someone a dozen freshly-
- formatted diskettes for $324, you would be better off working for someone
- else. Informix isn't that kind of company. ;->
