I.   OVERVIEW OF RELEASE NOTES
==============================

The purpose of these release notes is to make you aware of any special
actions required to configure and use INFORMIX-GLS on your computer. This
file also describes new features and feature differences from earlier
versions of this product and other Informix products, and how these
differences affect current products. In addition, this file contains
information about known bugs and their workarounds.

This release notes document is not intended to be all-inclusive; it should
be used as an addendum to the "INFORMIX-GLS Programmer's Manual," which
provides thorough information about product features and behavior.


II.  NEW FEATURES
=================

This release has no new features.


III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION OF INFORMIX-GLS 3.10
=============================================

 INFORMIX-GLS is an application-programming interface (API) that provides
functions and macros for the implementation of  internationalized
applications that are compatible with Informix GLS internationalization.
This API allows applications to access information in Informix locale files.

Previous versions of the INFORMIX-GLS product were called the Informix GLS
API. Use of the name GLS API is discontinued in the documentation.


IV.  INCLUDING HEADER FILES
===========================

To use INFORMIX-GLS, you must remember to include the header file in any
source code that references an INFORMIX-GLS function:

  o         INFORMIX-ESQL/C

    Include the ifxgls.h header file in any source code that references an
    INFORMIX-GLS function.

    The ESQL/C preprocessor automatically includes the INFORMIX-GLS
    library. For information on how to build ESQL/C applications, refer to
    the "INFORMIX-ESQL/C Programmer's Guide." 

  o        Client LIBMI Applications

    Include the ifxgls.h header file in any source code that references an
    INFORMIX-GLS function.

    You can use the ESQL/C preprocessor to automatically include the
    INFORMIX-GLS library in your client LIBMI application. Otherwise, you
    must explicitly list the library at link time. 

    For information on how to build client LIBMI applications that use
    INFORMIX-GLS, refer to the "INFORMIX-GLS Programmer's Manual."

  o        DataBlade Server Routines

    Include the ifxgls.h header file in any source code that references an
    INFORMIX-GLS function.

    The INFORMIX-GLS library is already linked into the Informix Dynamic
    Server with Universal Data Option. Therefore, you do not need to take
    special link steps to use INFORMIX-GLS in a server routine.


V.   EXAMPLE FILES
==================

This product does not include example files.


VI.  KNOWN PROBLEMS

This product has no known problems at this time.
