You'll probably want the ACIUS 4D External Kit ($250 on my last price
list).  According to the glossies, it lets you create:
   External Procedures and Functions
   External Packages
   External Areas
   External Tasks
   Process Hooks
   Output Drivers
   Merge Modules

It includes 'over 300 pages of documentation' on 30+ entry points and
20+ data types.  'Dozens of examples' are also included.

(THis is all from ACIUS' glossies...I have no affiliation with ACIUS,
 other than as a user of 4D).
