It is only version 5 :-( It is memory hungry (but what isn't) :-( It is only single user :-( It will work on SOME LAN's but not multi user :-( It has a nice LOTUS 1-2-3 menu style option :-) (why can't the other versions?) You can have simple 4GL/ABF or embedded SQL/C compiler versions If you only want the front end (client) this is available in version 6 :-) Cost in New Zealand converted to sterling is about 1,200pounds We, I guess, are about the most experienced developers of PC INGRES in New Zealand - we have found one or two problems, especially with memory, but I expect any day now the arrival of a new release to cure my woes !! On the whole a good stable product, just waiting for full version 6 back-end!! If you want any further details, please e-mail me. regards, Colin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From : Colin McIntosh, Project Manager # .=====. ======== Computertime Ltd, P.O.
