Digital Concepts in Portland makes a tool for 4th Dimension called 4th Right. Is there anybody on the net how is using this product and can give a testimonial on this product. I called them and they said it has 600 procedures for 4th Dimension and the environment runs on top of 4th Dimensions. Has anybody had any contact with Digital Concepts( i.e. any problems or good reports). Any reply would be appreciated. Please respond via e-mail or post. I will post a summary of my findings. I am getting a demo disk tomorrow. If anybody is interested in it, you can e-mail me and I will send you information. Thanks for responding, Chris disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with Digital Concepts.

Any reply would be appreciated. I bought the package in December 1990. I found it to be far less than what I had expected based on their marketing docs, and it was indeed useless for the project that I had hoped to use it for. The problem I ran into was that 4th Right had a lot of user interface manipulation tools, but no decent data dictionary tools, which really should lie at the core of any database development system. I ended up writing my own development shell. One of the reasons I bought 4th Right was that it came with a 30-day money back guarantee. I returned it, but they never sent my refund. They never returned my phone calls, although they did respond to one of my e-mail letters, saying that my refund was "being processed". This was back in April. Five months after returning the product, I still have no refund in hand. Brian K. Martin, M.D. bmartin@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu
