We have been using Forté for about six months. We are running against Oracle 7.2.3 on an HP 9000/K200, dual processor, HP/UX 10.01. Our clients include Windows 3.1, Macintosh, Sun Solaris & HP/UX workstations. We recently upgraded to Forté version 2. Overall it is a strong product if one needs a 3-tier client/server environment. There is a substantial learning curve so I strongly recommend developers take Forté's training classes. We have recently installed Forté Express but have not yet fully evaluated the product. We have several developers in-house who have substantial experience with Forté. If you have specific questions, send them to me, and I will try to have one of our Forté developers contact you.
