Commander – 4D version 6.0.1 Command Sets Near Release
Golden Micro Solutions is pleased to announce that we have almost completed
work on the ‘Commander’ command set files for 4th Dimension version 6.0.1.
We expect the full Language Reference and the General Reference sets to be
released within the next week.
This message is to remind users of the freeware/shareware Commander (with
4D version 3.5.3 command sets) that when the full version 6 sets are
released, there will be no ‘upgrade path’ from the freeware version to the
version 6 sets. So, if you’ve been using the freeware version, and feel
you’ll want the version 6.x command sets, register your version before June
30, and you’ll be eligible for the upgrade.
Registered & current users of Commander 2.1.1 will be eligible to purchase
the 4D Version 6.0 command sets for NZ$55 (approx US$38).
From 30 June 1997, unregistered versions of Commander 2.1.1 will NO LONGER
be eligible for upgrading. At that time if you’re using an unregistered
copy (of the version 3.5.3 sets), your only option will be to purchase the
full version of Commander for 4D 6.x at NZ$155 (approx US$105).
For those of you not yet familiar with Commander here is some addtional
information:
What is Commander
Commander is an on-line help/reference engine — you use the Commander
application to access reference information stored in separate Command Set
files. This information may take the form of Help topics, programming
language reference information, tutorial information and so on. Written to
run in as small a memory footprint as possible, Commander is designed to be
small enough, and useful enough to keep open whenever you’re working in 4D
— many developers use it as an indispensible development aid.
The 4th Dimension Language Reference command set contains the complete
syntax and descriptions of all 4D commands up to, and including those in
version 3.5.3. Additional notes and source code examples have been added to
suppliment the original decriptions where appropriate.
