Hello,
    I'm sorry if this is a FAQ [They just purged this BBoard], but does
anyone have the specs for 4D 3.0 ???  In particular, I need to know
about the differences between 4D 3.0 and it's older version 2.0.  Are
they compatible?

Thanks,

4th Dimension version 3.0 and 4D server are upward compatible with 4D v2.0.
There are some commands that have vanished like Sort File and a lot has been
added especially the ones handling processes. After 10th September a lot of
information should be available.

Best,

Sami.

David,

4D 3.0 will run 4D 2.x databases with minimal conversion effort. The major
problems occur with externals that may not be compatible with 4D 3.0.

However, 4D 3.0 is a completely different animal. It has its own
multi-tasking kernels--you can have multiple asynchronous
processes running, and multiple active windows open.
