		Informix is a relational database and for almost 20 years was also the name of the company who developed it.
		Informix DBMS was a development of the pioneering Ingres system that also led to Sybase and SQL Server, and was the #2 database system behind Oracle for some time in the 1990s.
		Informix included only the most basic changes to the Ingres system, most notably an adaptation of QUEL to their own Informer language.

		Wingz was a state-of-the-art graphical spreadsheet that could access back-end databases via structured query language calls.
		Informix had high hopes that the merger would provide the company with end-to-end products from the front-end desktop to the back-end database.
		Informix's competitor Sybase had adopted an aggressive acquisition strategy, and the effects of its acquisition of Gain Software in late 1992 sapped the company's focus.

		Informix has repositioned itself many times and is now poised to move into the 21st century [as part of IBM].
		The problem of different Informix units acting in isolation was addressed, and the database servers received a new name ("IDS," for "Informix Dynamic Server") that evoked the "RDS" trigram of the glorious early years.
		In 1998, Informix did something that cast doubt on the widely held belief that, except as a copy- point in marketing materials, no place exists on the battlefields of industrial capitalism for ethics, at least not in the sense that traditional religions and philosophical systems of the world have interpreted the term.

		If you ever have to recover the data, the name of the space or chunk may be lost, but if you have slightly different-sized chunks and you have a copy of the directory holding them, you will be able to differentiate among them by their size as well as by their name.
		Unlike Informix mirroring, however, a RAID is a hardware solution that consists of multiple disks, usually hot-swappable, which appear to the operating system as one large disk drive.

	DBMS - June 1996 - The Informix Enterprise Strategy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Informix's 1995 revenue ($709 million) and net income ($105.3 million) are up by more than 50 percent and 59 percent, respectively, compared to 1994.
		While the current Informix product line reflects a focus on database servers and tools (see Table 2, page 46), Informix has always encouraged a healthy applications market founded on the use of its tools and server engines.
		Informix has supported binary large object (BLOB) data for many years but the company recognizes that the need to store, and more important, to manipulate complex data other than text and numeric data, will be critical to its ability to address future customer needs.

		Informix had demonstrated the possibilities of spreadsheet publishing, and the company seemed more than willing to do battle with Microsoft and Lotus.
		With Excel 3.0, Microsoft added most of the whiz-bang features of Wingz, including the integration of text and graphics, multiple typefaces in a spreadsheet, and a wide variety of charts and graphs, including some in 3-D. After Microsoft released Excel 3.0 for Windows, we stopped hearing about Wingz.
		Second, Wingz is available for an unprecedented number of platforms, including IBM-compatible PCs (Windows and OS/2) and Apple Macintosh (System 6.x and 7.x), as well as Unix-based systems from NeXT, Sun, Data General, Hewlett-Packard, Mips, and IBM RISC.

	Current Computing Environment
		WingZ delivered in 1989 a lean package (at about 0.5 Mb, as I recall), that included most of the features that Microsoft was not able to ape until version 4 of Excel.
		The reason was that WingZ was really a scripting environment that had been customized to act as a spreadsheet.
		WingZ graphed its data directly in the spreadsheet (at a time when every other spreadsheet would have you enter into a separate graphing mode), and was sensitive to changes as they were made in the spreadhsheet.

	Venture Chronicles: Book Review: The Real Story of Informix Software and Phil White
		You may recall that this company had a killer spreadsheet program called Wingz and Informix believed that there future was in desktop productivity.
		One of an Informix salesperson's primary responsibilities was to determine whether a customer was lying and whether we had an honest opprotunity to win the deal.
		Of course, Informix went on to some monsterous misses that ended up costing Phil his job, and in the subsequent revelations and earnings restatements that went on to legal proceedings culminating in some jail time for Phil.

		Author Steve Martin was an Informix employee in the critical years from 1991 through 1997, and therefore speaks with the authority and insider's knowledge not found in the perspective of an outside journalist, burdened by the baggage of an interviewee's selective recall.
		In the case of Informix, an irrational focus on beating Oracle and it's obnoxious CEO, Larry Ellison, could be traced to Informix's eventual demise.
		I was also in sales at Informix during this era and frankly we were so busy "doing" it's remarkable how Martin was also able to observe and analyze so precisely while consistently blowing out his numbers and making it to the vaunted "Summit Club".

		It seems that just when Informix as a company is getting settled into one interface, it changes directions and gives us something new.
		Just when it was beginning to show some promise, Informix sold it to a consultancy and the product disappeared into a fl hole.
		More to the point for this article, Informix released a product initially called "Remote Object Manager," which morphed into "Informix Enterprise Control Panel." This product gave Informix users a GUI that was reminiscent of the simple Microsoft Access interface for administering the database.

		Placing the DataLink files in your Wingz folders creates a version of Wingz with menus for logging onto Oracle servers, selecting tables, specifying criteria for retrieving data, and copying columns of data into columns of the spreadsheet.
		In fact, since HyperScript lets you create dialog boxes, a prompt could ask the user how recent the data should be and offer a choice of graph types (Wingz's other strong suit is more than 25 different charting choices).
		Fusion Systems has a version of DataLink for Sybase in beta; Wingz also directly supports Informix's own Informix-SE SQL server, which is an alternative to Sybase or Oracle under NeXTSTEP.

		With Informix Software's WingZ now available for Windows, and Lotus poised to deliver a Windows version of 1-2-3, Microsoft couldn't afford to rest on its lead in the graphical user interface (GUI) spreadsheet arena.
		With some of the new capabilities in Excel 3.0, Microsoft is merely playing catch-up, especiall y to WingZ, a competitor on the OS/2, Windows, and Macintosh platforms.
		For instance, like WingZ, Excel 3.0 now lets you place charts directly on the worksheet, rather than confining them to separate windows.

	Slip processing method processing data from slips with varying formats - Patent 5504676
		Typical products of the spread sheet are Lotus 1-2-3 of Lotus Development and Wingz of Informix.
		The Lotus 1-2-3 allows the skewer operation in which various operations are performed for corresponding data among a plurality of forms, but the formats of the forms must be totally identical because the skewer operation is attained by a three-dimensional data processing function.
		The Informix Wingz can simultaneously display a plurality of forms on multi-windows to skewer a plurality of data but it does not have the skewer operation function.

		Both Mesa and PowerStep, which Appsoft has said it will repackage as Appsoft Solution, are native NeXTSTEP programs that are fully compatible with Lotus 1-2-3, a niche currently unfilled by Informix's Wingz (a Macintosh port) and Lotus Improv (a one-of-a-kind financial modeler).
		It is somewhat unusual for a NeXTSTEP software category to experience such a heated fight for market share.
		And Pollak knows that without the substantial marketing resources of an Appsoft, Lotus, or Informix, his best chance is to get Mesa to market quickly.
