Are there any 4th Dimension developers out there ...... anywhere.....? If so I'd really like to know who you are so that we could share ideas, problems etc etc. As far as development goes using 4D, things are pretty lonely down here in New Zealand. Sure, there are a few of us about, but we get all the news really late, and sometimes it would be nice to get in touch with other developers. Also, if there is a kind soul out there I'd like to ask a favour. I have access to Compuserve (and thus the ACIUS forum) but unfortunately it costs us a lot of money (and you Americans think YOU pay through the nose for CIS - you aint seen nothin'!) to download stuff. Recently I've seen several files I'd love to grab (e.g. text indexing example database), but I cant justify the costs to my boss. If someone out there has downloaded this dataabase, and would be happy to E-mail (or even post it somewhere) it to me I'd be extrememly pleased. Does anyone know of any anon FTP sites with 4D externals/databases etc? I remember seeing some old externals at Simtel a while back, but very little else. Does anyone have any ideas about getting together and posting a whole heap of 4D related stuff to one of the archives so that we can create a distribution channel other than CIS? If anyone does want to e-mail me some stuff they've got from CIS lately, it'd be great, but I haven't got too much to return the favour with - just a few externals I'm working on at present. Anyway, it'd be good just to hear from some other developers ..... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Allan Udy, Mac Programmer, Computing Services |Phone: +64 3 479 8532 Centre, Otago University, Dunedin, New Zealand. |Fax: +64 3 479 8577 --------------------------------------------------|AppleLink: NZ0031 'It all looks fine, to the naked eye, but it |CompuServe: 74017,2233 don't really happen that way at all...'
