- I'm currently running INFORMIX Online 4.0 on a DECsystem 5000/200. The
- menu system of the application using the online engine is extremely
- cumbersome and I would like to see if I can extract, update, and insert
- new information directly from online on my Mcaintoshes.
-
- The best solution would be to have a DAL server running on the DEC with
- client software (written in 4D, Hypercard, or some other
- Hyperscript/Database software).
-
- I have spoken to informix and they seem to think that the only solution
- is to run I-NET, I-STAR and use Datalink & Wingz.
-
- Does anyone know if there is a general purpose (non-dependent on client
- software) DAL server available that runs on a DECsystem running Ultrix
- 4.2? If not are there many folks running the configuration as suggested
- above by informix?
-
- Any info would be greatly appreciated.

- Please post followups or reply to ffang@grover.printing.uiowa.edu.
