ObjectTools 1.5.3
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Automated Solutions Group Announces the Release of ObjectTools v1.5.3
Huntington Beach, CA - February 6, 2001: Automated Solutions Group today
announced the release of ObjectTools v1.5.3 for Macintosh and Windows.
ObjectTools is a 4th Dimension plug-in which provides a set of routines
that allow you to create Objects: a single entity in which you can store
and retrieve any amount of data of differing types. This is similar to what
you can do with 4D BLOBs, but with several important differences: Rather
than using offsets, data is stored into and retrieved from Objects by name.
Whereas BLOBs are the equivalent of ROM -- once written, you cannot really
modify their contents -- Objects are more like RAM. Once stored, data in
Objects can be modified in place, retrieved into 4D variables, and copied
to other Objects. Because Objects are represented by Longint handles, you
can create arrays of Objects.
What are Objects Good For?
While the uses of Objects are virtually...

Microsoft outage: In case you were curious
Just in case you were curious about the Microsoft site outage that affected
Microsoft, MSN, and more ... here's the MS posting.
Microsoft Explains Site Access Issues
On Tuesday evening and Wednesday, many Microsoft customers had difficulty
accessing the company's Web sites. The cause has been determined, and the
issue is resolved.
At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday (PST), a Microsoft technician made a configuration
change to the routers on the edge of Microsoft's Domain Name Server
network. The DNS servers are used to connect domain names with numeric IP
addresses (e.g. 207.46.230.219) of the various servers and networks that
make up Microsoft's Web presence.
The mistaken configuration change limited communication between DNS servers
on the Internet and Microsoft's DNS servers. This limited communication
caused many of Microsoft's sites to be unreachable (although they were
actually still operational) to a large number of customers throughout last
night and today.
This was an operational error, and...

ObjectTools v1.5.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Automated Solutions Group Announces the Release of ObjectTools v1.5.1
Huntington Beach, CA - January 18, 2001: Automated Solutions Group today
announced the release of ObjectTools v1.5.1 for Macintosh and Windows.
ObjectTools is a 4th Dimension plug-in which provides a set of routines
that allow you to create Objects: a single entity in which you can store
and retrieve any amount of data of differing types. This is similar to what
you can do with 4D BLOBs, but with several important differences:
Rather than using offsets, data is stored into and retrieved from Objects
by name. Whereas BLOBs are the equivalent of ROM -- once written, you
cannot really modify their contents -- Objects are more like RAM. Once
stored, data in Objects can be modified in place, retrieved into 4D
variables, and copied to other Objects. Because Objects are represented by
Longint handles, you can create arrays of Objects.
What are Objects Good For?
While the uses of Objects are virtually...
