I had a rude awakening today. I had not received any notification from
Informix regarding new releases of WingZ, and having been using the
product for quite some time now thought that I should be hearing
*something*. I called them up and found that their policy is to only
notify those who have purchased support agreements of new upgrades, and
that all others must purchase a new application.

I may be a bit old-fashioned, but it seems to me that when you buy an
application you at least deserve a mailing and an upgrade reduction when
new releases are offered. However, Informix's policy treats a tried-and-
true purchaser as a second-class citizen.

It may be the case the WingZ is no longer software to use for spreadsheet
analysis, I have not kept up with the times. However, with this kind of
policy, I am on to new horizons one way or another, and suggest that others
who have any use/interest in the product make a fuss to these jerks.
