* All User Databases Accessible from Sherlock
* WS4D/Site-Search Accessible from Sherlock

Bartlett, IL October 19, 1998 – MDG Computer Services, Inc. today announced
that their complete Web server 4D(TM) Family of products (Web Server 4D,
WS4D/CGI, WS4D/Email-Search, WS4D/Developer, and the upcoming WS4D/Library)
will completely support MacOS 8.5’s new Sherlock(TM) internet search
capabilities.

“Once again, Web Server 4D is first to
support important new Apple technologies”, said Michael Ginsberg, president
of MDG Computer Services, inc. “Sherlock will allow MDG to provide better
support for our customers and for our customers to better support their
customers!

Imagine your customers being able to search your site from Sherlock or
being able to use Sherlock to search your mailing lists or any other WS4D
database.” “Apple did a great job with Sherlock”, stated Ginsberg, “it only
took a couple of hours to tie in Sherlock with WS4D-Site-Search,
WS4D/Email-Search or any other database that can be published with Web
Server 4D, WS4D/CGI or WS4D/Email-Search.”

Web Server 4D 2.0.2 Adds Sherlock Tracking

Web Server 4D 2.0.2, due later this week, adds Sherlock tracking – a first
for any web server. Be able to see how many Sherlock requests your Web
Server 4D receives and log each search request into a log file, to see what
keywords are being requested.
