SAN JOSE, Calif., July 8, 2002 -- 4D, Inc., publishers of the 4th Dimension RAD/RDBMS Environment and 4D WebSTAR Server Suite, today announced the immediate release of 4D View, the new spreadsheet and data presentation plug-in from 4D, which combines integrated spreadsheet capabilities with a comprehensive set of enhanced data viewing features.

Available for 4th Dimension and 4D Server applications, the 4D View plug-in provides spreadsheet functions including calculations, simulations, projections, and analyses. In addition, data presentation processes such as programming dynamic input interfaces can be done quickly and easily. A wide range of advanced features enable data to be displayed in a variety of forms including printable lists, dynamic calculation lists, and input formats. 4D View also achieves compatibility between 4D Calc and AreaList Pro by automatically re-mapping the commands used by these plug-ins, eliminating the need for re-coding.

"With 4D View, developers can create 4D applications that are even more diverse, powerful, and professional," said Brendan Coveney, president and CEO of 4D, Inc. "The 4D View plug-in combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the power and ease of use of the 4D database engine and programming language, resulting in quite an ideal tool for any development project."

Developers can easily configure 4D View for their programming needs, making processes such as menu modifications, adding controls, and subform process management more intuitive and efficient. Images can also be easily incorporated into database applications through programming or style sheets.

The 4D View plug-in can be downloaded from the 4D, Inc. Web site at <http://www.4D.com/products/4DView.html>.
