4gl

We have a large homegrown ERP system written in Informix 4GL.

Currently we are running on old Sun hardware, Solaris 8, and a ten year old version of 4GL and Informix.

We need to move on, and one option obviously is to get the latest versions of 4GL & Informix, installed on new hardware (probably Linux/Intel).

However I believe there are options for migrating 4GL programmes to other development platforms. Does anyone have experience of that? If so, what platforms, how did it go, what are the pros and cons?
