Infoflex announces Linux database support

Infoflex has announced Linux ports of its database products ESQLFLEX, INFOFLEX, and ACCOUNTFLEX.

  • ESQLFLEX is a low-cost clone of the Informix-ESQL/C product. It allows software developers to build, modify, and query databases using standard SQL calls from a C program, and allows developers to completely replace Informix-ESQL/C without modifying the application. ESQLFLEX is available for $695.

  • INFOFLEX-4GL is similar in syntax to Informix and is 100% compatible with the Informix-SE database. INFOFLEX is easy to modify through its consistent WYSIWYG approach to programming menus, screens, and reports and through its many powerful built-in features designed to reduce coding. INFOFLEX is available for $995.

  • ACCOUNTFLEX includes modules for Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Jobcost, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and General Ledger. Each module costs $795 with source. Executable versions may be distributed for $150 per module under an OEM license.

The BSD documentation set has always been a valuable reference for Unix programmers and administrators. The new 4.4 release will be of even more use, both because the entire set has been updated and because documentation for many free programs not orignally part of the BSD distribution, including many of the GNU utilities, has been included. For this reason, and also because Linux distributions include some BSD utilities, these manuals may be useful to Linux programmers and administrators. The full set of five manuals is available for $120 (ISBN: 1-56592-077-5). In addition, the entire 4.4BSD-Lite distribution is available on CD for $40, and the complete manual set with the CD for $150.
