Announces Three New Deployment Options for 4D Engine 2003 -- New Editions of 4D Engine Give Developers Even Greater Flexibility for Application Distribution -- SAN JOSE, Calif., March 5, 2003 - 4D, Inc., publishers of the 4th Dimension RAD/RDBMS environment and 4D WebSTAR Server Suite, today announced three new deployment options that offer developers even greater flexibility for application distribution. 4D Engine 2003 is a professional deployment tool for fast and secure application distribution, and will be available in 4D Engine Light Edition, 4D Engine Sponsored Edition, and 4D Engine Professional Edition, when 4th Dimension 2003 is released. "4D Engine is the ultimate way to distribute 4th Dimension applications with speed and security, and our new deployment options give developers a greater number of customizable, affordable choices," said Brendan Coveney, president and CEO of 4D, Inc. "Our new 4D Engine licenses open-up deployment options for distribution of anything you can develop. 4D Engine Light Edition is included in the 4D Developer Edition, literally giving developers an engine to distribute databases such as CD catalogs, or even building powerful Web Services clients for unlimited distribution." The new 4D Engine editions are designed to meet a greater variety of deployment needs, particularly in terms of low-cost distribution. 4D Engine Light Edition and 4D Engine Sponsored Edition each include an unobtrusive 4D sponsorship message on application shutdown, and are designed for unlimited distribution of low-cost or in-house applications. 4D Engine Light Edition is ideal for applications that require limited database functionality, or read-only database functionality. 4D Engine Sponsored Edition offers the full power of the standard 4D database engine at a low, cost-sharing price. 4D Engine Professional Edition gives developers a good value on distribution of professional "double-clickable" applications.
