- I know that Informix does have runtime versions of their product. As far as
- the Windows compatibility, I have heard from a reliable source that version
- 4.2 for DOS and Windows will be ready in Q1 '93. I assume this means a
- version for DOS and a seperate Windows version. Also, this will apparently be
- the last release to support DOS, but all future releases will support Windows.

- Sorry if this is a little vague, but it's all I know right now.
