[MD1] ACI Product Line v6.0.5

February 27, 1998 — Cupertino, CA — Less than a year after the release of
its major product upgrade, 4th Dimension version 6.0, ACI has engineered a
significantly enhanced version for the entire ACI Product Line – version
6.0.5.

The benefits provided by this maintenance release include improved
functionalities and an extremely stable and robust design environment. ACI
Product Line version 6.0.5 is proof of ACI’s commitment to providing
quality development tools to its 7,000-strong developer community. Version
6.0.5 also includes some new features, such as new management of picture
field compression, and a new procedure for converting 4D version 3
applications to 4D version 6.

The success of 4th Dimension version 6.0, released in early 1997, can be
measured by the large proportion of professional developers who have
already upgraded to this new version to build powerful cross-platform
applications. Among the highly acclaimed features of 4th Dimension and 4D
Server v6 are a built-in Web server, a revamped interface, triggers, stored
procedures, a visual, interactive debugger, and an object-based forms
editor.
