I thought I posted a message here when this group was started, but I guess it did not go through.
We use Gupta's client/server at work and I really like it. I am really lookign forward to SQLWindows 4.0, a completely object-oriented system. SqLBase 5.1 is also very near release.
As for clients unwillingly to change to client/server, emphasis that the LAN environment, coupled with client/server, will probably be the definite trend in the future. Gupta estimates the client/server market to be around $200 million currently. Gutpa expects this figure to jump to 1 billion in the next few years.
Another thing, if the client or customer does not want to change to client/server because he likes his slow mainframe, then emphsis gateway software (which Gupta provides) that will link things like DB2 to the LAN world.
