Informix Corp founder Roger Sippl’s latest venture is now called VisiGenic Inc rather than Very Visual, the name he initially wanted. Visual Edge Software Inc reckoned that it had rights to the name, and even the offer of money to allow him to share the name, would not shake it. Sippl says Visual Edge believed that Very Visual would be very successful and would overshadow it too much. VisiGenic is nearly ready with a beta test version of its first product, a graphical interface builder for the Informix 4GL for Windows, to be followed by the same sort of thing for Informix’s Motif stuff. VisiGenic will produce a similar product for Micro Focus Plc Cobol, C and C++. It will also do a Microsoft Corp Win32 version for Chicago and NT.
