Aliso Viejo, California

Dimensional Software of Aliso Viejo, California today announced an external
package for 4th Dimension the relational database development software from
ACIUS Inc. of Cupertino, California. dbTimer allows a 4th Dimension global
procedure to be placed into the background and set to run at a user specified
time of day or interval of time. Multiple procedures can be placed into the
background each configured to run at a different time or interval. Using this
package users could be automatically logged off a database at certain times
of day to allow database backups to be performed or procedures could be run
that make connections to other mainframe computers at preset intervals to
update the local or remote databases. This package could also be used to
access laboratory equipment at certain intervals and gather data to be
processed by the database.

The procedures placed into the background can perform any operation available
through the 4th Dimension language and are only limited by the developers
imagination. Dimensional Software also includes SimpleMail, a simple
electronic mail program implemented using 4th Dimension and dbTimer.
SimpleMail can be incorporated into existing 4th Dimension databases
royalty free.

Pricing for dbTimer has been set as outlined below. Dimensional software
will be offering an introductory price for dbTimer until November 15, 1992.
