And UK start-up Altered Image Software Ltd, Addlestone, Surrey, has already developed two applications based on X.deskterm which it will be showing at Xhibition for the first time. Altered Image-SQL provides an OSF/Motif front-end to the Informix-SQL relational database, and enables users to migrate character-based Informix-SQL applications to the graphical environment without modification. Altered Image-Graphics is a management information tool that enables data from an Informix-SQL database to be displayed graphically, and in a variety of formats – with colour and in three dimensions – under an OSF/Motif-style menu system. Altered Image was set up last year by former founders and marketing officials of Informix UK Ltd.
