In Response To: Re: Kernel parameters for IDS 9.21 on SCO OS6? (Fernando Fernandez)

Ahh, talk to me about replacing 4GL with Querix Lycia! How about runtimes
for $65US per single user seat or for a web server or application server
node runtime license (annual renewal is $53) or less if you need many
licenses. Developer seats are $1300 for the first seat but $2600 gives you
an Developer's Lycia 4GL/ESQL Site License (annual support / license
renewal is 50% of the initial cost). All in all this is MUCH less than
renewing your legacy 4GL licenses and you get lots of new features and
capabilities to boot!

Lycia is nearly 100% compatible with legacy 4GL and even with 4Js Genero's
extensions. You can port your existing apps to Lycia in days with no
modifications deploying them to a GUI or even to a web page then add GUI
specific features over time.
