“4th Dimension 2003 is an extremely rapid development environment and
exceptional for application integration,” said Brendan Coveney, president

its dynamic presentation generation capabilities when integrated with a
database and issued a challenge to database developers. We are the first
database vendor to answer that call with a sample application which can be
easily modified by our community of developers for their unique solutions.”
