Several questions/issues about 4th Dimension:

1) For commercial products, how can you set up a 4D db to detect the
number of users and make sure they don't exceed licensing
requirements of limited number of users? Ideal solution
would be transparent to uers while letting them define new
users as employees leave the company.

2) Is there any way to select a layout for viewing based on
preferences of each user? For instance, some users may prefer
reports that omit certain fields, but include others. Be nice
to be able to do this without the user needing to deal with
the report generator.

3) Are there any 4D-oriented periodicals, other than what ACIUS
puts out?

I'd be glad to hear from anyone working on 4D commercial db's,
since there is so much to know, and each person probably picks
up things someone else might miss.
