Does anybody know if Acius intends to make 4D available as a client environment for the Microsoft (aka Sybase) SQL Server environment? Or as a front-end for any of the Major Player RDBMS's? We've got several folks here at SGI jumping up and down to build substantial applications using 4Dv2, and I'd like to know how long of a leash to allow :-) . -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mark Hargrove Silicon Graphics, Inc. email: hargrove@harlie.corp.sgi.com 2011 N.Shoreline Drive voice: 415-962-3642 Mt.View, CA 94039

That is supposed to be delivered soon. Neuron Data (Nexpert Object) is developing links between 4D and their expert system. ACIUS has shown 4D working with CL/1. I am pretty sure that Sybase and ACIUS are working on some Transact-SQL interfaces. ACIUS appears to be very interested in being the front end of choice on the macintosh for all the SQL servers. I have tested most of the above links and love the combination of 4D's graphical interface and the SQL engines of the various vendors. With some effort, you can put together some really wiz-bang apps that are both pretty and functional. Please Email if you have any additional questions.
