Still going strong - lots of enhancements over standard 4gl- including PDF reports (including embedded barcodes, fancy fonts etc), enhanced developer tools (static and runtime calltree, lint checking, SQLMetrics), enhanced diagnostics, automatic error callbacks (for example there is a module that automatically enters bugs into a 'mantis' bug tracking system. Logical reports (send to CSV and a printer with virtually no code changes) We've got 4GL web services via GSOAP We've got callbacks for Constructs (so you can 'adjust' the generated string) We've got callbacks for the LOAD statement (so you can 'adjust' whats inserted - if at all) Slices in INPUT and DISPLAY ARRAY Builtin Array sorting We've got 4GL -> SPL generation. (and it should be easy to add new target languages (we have POC for PHP, PLSQL, C#) Theres a funky new GUI being developed by a German company "Ventas" (http://www.ventas.de/a4gl/vdc-the-new-gui) which is based on our extensible 'XML' UI protocol. If you fancy writing your own (for example - maybe a customer Point-Of-Sale terminal - you can do that... Of course - we can access Informix, Postgresql, Mysql, and others via ODBC I've even added POC OO code. etc etc etc John O'Gorman has been working on the manual - latest version is here : http://www.og.co.nz/aubit4gl/a4glman.pdf ** We're always looking for volunteers - so if anyone feels like lending a hand - just get in touch ** -- Mike Aubury http://www.aubit.com/ Aubit Computing Ltd is registered in England and Wales, Number: 3112827 Registered Address : Clayton House,59 Piccadilly,Manchester,M1 2AQ
