	We began to use 4Dimension several weeks ago.  The first
	implementation was used in our Denver office for  a way
	to keep track of artwork and contracts in our Production
	department.  Very little programming was done.  We took
	full advantage of the menu system set up in User Mode.

	The response we have gotten from the users have been 
	pretty good with the only gripe being, if more than one
	person wants to access the same record, it tends to 
	freeze up until the first user is done with that record.
	Another problem is the initial transfer of information
	into this database.  It can take up to 12 hours depending
	on the information.

	The good responses have been a variety.  Excellant search
	times.  Nice looking reports.  Etc, Etc.

	We then decided to use the software in our collections
	department in Denver as a test place.  The screens 
	have been set up by one of our excellant programming 
	specialists and through all the tests have proved to
	be excellant.

	My final recommendation, if you have the personnal that
	knows how to work in C and Unix, can definetly take full
	advantage of this softwares capability.  The multi-user
	aspect also is a nice feature.
