- Before I got trapped into Informix 4gl, I used a product that was truly
- ahead of it's time...ISQL (from informix), Before that Informer (from
- Relational Database Systems - aka Informix), Before that RMCOBOL, before
- that Application Development System (Nice, but slow) from Convergent Solutions,
- before that OASIS/BASIC (Now there was a language!).
-
- I looked at the Big o once, - but my better sense prevailed, something about
- a 'hard sell'. Not to mention the dubiuos advertising.
