4th Dimension is probably the most powerful microcomputer database
develpment environment available for micros. Simple applications
similar to those you might develop in filemaker, can can be developed
in just a few hours. However, taking advantage of 4Ds extensive command
set requires working through a very steep learning curve. If you go
with 4D, find a good consultant.
