Steve,

We are building a full UCS-2 compliant application in Illustra on NT. We are
rolling our own GUI with MFC/VC++. Double byte in - double byte out.

The new Informix Universal Server is going to handle Unicode with UTF-8 encoding.
This will force us to retool our ap somewhat. We have no firm plans to migrate
just yet!
Regards,
