Interesting.... This just came in from NEW-LIST - New List Announcements <[log in to unmask]>: Informix E-Mail Discussion List This is to announce an electronic mailing list for the discussion of Informix software and related subjects. Topics include all of the Informix offerings, from C-ISAM to WingZ, plus third-party products. Membership in the list is open to anyone, including end-users, vendors and employees of Informix Software, Inc. The list is unmoderated, so members are solely responsible for its content. All contributions are welcome, so long as they emphasize substantive information. To subscribe, send e-mail to [log in to unmask] with the following information: 1. Your name (not just your login ID) 2. Organization or Company name 3. Postal address 4. Voice phone number 5. Operating environment, such as hardware, OS, network 6. Informix products your regularly use: 4GL, ISQL, RDS, etc. 7. Whether you want Informix-related Usenet comp.databases articles sent to you via e-mail (see below) 8. The number of User-ID's served if you use an alias (see also below) 9. Any comments or suggestions you have about the list About #7: The list provides a gateway service where Informix-related articles posted to the Usenet newsgroup comp.databases can be sent to you via e-mail. This is a one-way transfer, in that messages posted directly to the list will not be automatically sent back to comp.databases -- at least not for now. If you do not want the gateway service, please indicate this in your mail. About #8: If there are several users on your system(s) that want to subscribe, you may want to set up a local mail alias for incoming list messages if you have that capability. If you do, pick an alias such as "informix-distr" to which users are unlikely to post, and do *not* include the main list address in your alias. I'd appreciate knowing the number of User-ID's that it serves. I'm excited about the prospects for this list, and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.
