07/10/2001 To Informix and 4gl database developer and user communities
One of biggest prerequisites to entering corporate space for any platform is availability of business oriented applications. Linux and OpenSource software in general made a big progress in that direction, but OpenSource tools required to write business related, database oriented applications are still in short supply. In traditional corporate IT space, Fourth Generation Languages are important part of Corporate IT infrastructure. Aubit 4GL compiler project is an attempt to fill this gap. Aubit 4gl development team has today announced phase 2 in the development of Aubit 4gl compiler. Until today, we limited the number of developers that participated on the project. We now feel that Aubit 4gl is ready for a wider audience, and are ready to start phase 2 of the project. "Aubit 4GL" (A4GL) is an Informix(TM)-4GL compatible compiler initially developed by Mike Aubury, of Aubit Computing Ltd. On top of I-4GL compatibility it already provides many additional functional, architectural and syntax enhancements. Our ultimate goal is to make a familiar, successful, robust and productive environment of 4gl database oriented programming language even more appealing to database applications software developers. As of today, the development of A4GL is entering a new phase. Distributed under GPL/GNU license, the compiler will continue to be developed and maintained as OpenSource cooperative project open to all interested individuals and organizations. OpenSource development will be coordinated from, and hosted by SourceForge, with full set of development environment tools at the disposal to participating developers, all accessible over the Internet, to facilitate the distributed development process. All interested individuals and organizations, including commercial vendors, are invited to join us in this development process. Please visit Aubit 4gl home page for more information, source code download, precompiled binary builds and manuals. Please note that there are many different ways you can participate in the development process, from developing the source code itself, enhancing the documentation and managing parts of development process, to using the compiler, reporting problems and participating in discussions. As with any other OpenSource project, all are equally important for the success of our project, and are equally appreciated. Please consider this announcement as an open invitation to join us in providing more alternatives to developers and users that appreciate the productive environment of 4gl language.
