Acius has many different things available.  They have sample databases
written by members of the tech support staff, developer programs
and Skeleton. You can often get the sample databases just by calling
tech support and asking.

Their developer program (Apprentice) cost $195 a year and you receive
a monthly mailing that contains Tech notes about 4D, sample databases
and other misc. goodies from ACIUS. 

Skeleton is a shell for 4D written by tech support. It facilitates 
developing an application in the custom environment.  It will reduce
the amount of code need to one line for each layout. Skeleton is free
if you pick it up from ACIUS, otherwise they charge $20 shipping
and you do receive a manual.

If you need something specific, give them a call and ask.  They have
been extremely helpful when I needed something.
