After just scanning through the messages here I noticed that a few people 
are interested in Fourth Dimension, or as the case may be, not interested 
because of limitaions or bugs in the program.  
 
I have been working with Fourth Dimension since its introduction onto the 
market around late '86.  I can tell anyone this, Fourth Dimension has the 
steepest learning curve of any program on the market.  It is very picky
in it's programming language, i.e. You have to do stuff JUST RIGHT or it
won't work.  There are alot of things you have to keep track of if you
want to write a script or procedure that works.  Once you figure this
out, many of the "bugs" people are describing mysteriously dissapear. 
 
Granted, the program has certain limitations and annoying pickyness, but
as for a database system, I haven't seen any better yet for raw power. 
The speed of Fourth Dimension is not fantastic, but the serious
capabilities and power dwarf many other database systems that I have
worked with in the past. 

Currently, I am working on the side as a Fourth Dimension programmer on
my own... and would be happy to help anyone with programming problems or
even hire myself out as a custom developer for any company that needs
fourth dimension help. 

If interested, Contact:  Michael Jones in Seattle Washington.
