Core Technologies, Inc. – Net Tools Plug-In for 4D
Vero Beach, FL – September 14, 1997: Core technologies, Inc. today
announced Net Tools, a plug-in extension offering Open Transport native API
to 4th Dimension.
Introduction
Net Tools is a 4D plug-in that provides an elegant and affordable solution
for creating database applications that support cummunications with the
Internet through “open standards” based TCP/IP or UDP protocols.
With Net Tools over 100 commands you can build complete internet based open
solutions for both both MacOS and Windows. Your applications are freely
transportable across platforms and, furthermore, they don’t suffer from
4D’s limitations concerning the number of internet connections avalible
through 4D current web licensing scheme.
Net Tools Features:
———————————————————
Listen on multiple IP addresses (With OT 1.3 or greater.)
Secure Socket Layer support. – Additional License(s) required.
Create HTTP, FTP, SMTP, NNTP, POP3, TELNET, etc…
– Servers directly within the 4D environment.
Integrated web based applications.
Receive stream data directly into 4D objects
– (fields, variables, BLOBs, OS Files).
Send stream data directly from 4D objects
– (fields, variables, BLOBs, OS Files).
