Fourth Dimension represents the state of the art in application development packages. Based on the client-server network model, it can provide distributed database access over a LAN, the Internet, or telephone communication lines.

Features

Several outstanding features favor the use of Fourth Dimension over traditional development packages. It is fully object-oriented, and contains powerful reporting and interface design tools. The built-in programming language supports true multitasking, so routine tasks can be launched as background processes while the user continues with other work.

The concurrent design capability of Fourth Dimension allows a team approach to application development. This greatly reduces the time to finished product. Support of existing programs is also dramatically improved, since procedures can be easily interfaced with handheld computers, bar-code and card scanners, and a variety of printers. Heading

Compatibility

Advent Corporation has chosen Fourth Dimension as our primary development environment. Client/Server versions are available for both Apple Macintosh and IBM PC platforms. Applications are 100% platform-compatible to allow portability and cross-connection between computers with different operating systems.Heading
