Querix is probably the world's most advanced Informix® 4GL compatible development suite. It helps to exploit graphical features that will enhance the look and usability of 4GL applications, and makes development quick and reliable.
Lycia is a powerful software development solution, combining application layers that connect to libraries and services, communicate with the runtime environment, and then with the database and GUI server layers. It is these built-in capabilities that make Lycia' capable of connecting to a variety of databases, including most of the major commercial databases in use around the world.

Use the power of its fully integrated development environment (Studio), and just add on the appropriate Querix advanced thin-client system to render your 4GL application with similar, but still native, look and feel on virtually any platform:
Traditional Character Mode Client
Phoenix Client (Microsoft Windows)
Chimera Client (Java) Can be deployed as a WEB Enabler (Java WebStart & Applet) or as a standalone client deployment.
These systems interface with the Lycia application server in single or multi-tier applications environments; delivering the most efficient and advanced 4GL applications to your desktop. At the core of the Querix toolset is Lycia - the core 4GL compiler suite, this forms the runtime engine, database layer, graphical interface (GUI) and application server.
