We have been using Informix (tm) for over 2 years.  It does all
time-keeping and billing in our law office.  It also keeps track of
clients and matters.  We will shortly be adding accounting using
Informix (tm).  All this has been done so far without any C
programming, using only the tools available in Informix (tm).  We have
not yet tried Informix SQL (Structured Query Languange) or RDS's new
4th GL Application Generator.
