Paul,

It supports the $ notation, as well as many of the conversion functions.

have a look at the compatlib/informix.c file for the functions
supported.

It also inherits some of the informix idiosyncrasies, such as not
requiring  indicator variables to mark null's

I also have a port of the backend which inherits even more informixish
behavior, such as rowid, datetime types, etc.

Dave
