Commander 2.0  — Demonstration Version

An on-line command reference for the 4th Dimension® language.

This is a cut down version of Commander, containing only 40 of the 300+ topics contained within the full Commander application. Functionally this demo is equivalent to the full version. This demo does not include some of the additional 'Command Set' files that are provided with the full application (such as the International Tech Notes Abstract set). In addition, this version is only capable of opening (and using) two Command Set files.

Commander contains over 95% of the 4th Dimension Language Reference Manual in an easy to use and search format. All 4th Dimension® commands are included along with the full descriptions of those commands as contained in the Language Reference Manual. Additional notes and source code examples have been added to suppliment the original decriptions where appropriate.

All other chapters of the 4th Dimension® Language Reference Manual that 4th Dimension® users frequently need  (such as ‘The Layout Execution Cycle’, and ‘Components of Processes’), are also contained within Commander.

Advantages Of Using Commander

   • Find the information or command description you are looking 
      for easily in a seconds.

   • Easily navigate from one command reference to another using 
      ‘hyper-text’ jumping, and rapidly skip back through the 
      last dozen topics you looked at.

   • No more having to carry the 4th Dimension Language Reference 
      manual around where ever you (and your Powerbook) go.

   • Additional notes about commands, extra source code fragments, 
      and all recent addenda to the LR manual included.

   • Uses minimal RAM, so you can have Commander open 
      whenever you’re using 4th Dimension—this is no memory hog.

   • Use standard Macintosh copy techniques to copy source code 
      examples from Commander and paste directly into your own 
      procedures.

   • Commander can be set to automatically hide itself when you 
      switch it into the background—there are no additional windows 
      cluttering up your desktop when they’re not needed.

   • Create and use additional 'Command Set' files to expand the
      commands/information you can access with Commander.

  • Commander ships with the following Commmand Sets:
       ° 4D Language Command Reference (built in)
       ° 4D Reference Information
       ° 4D Tech Note Abstracts
       ° Miscellaneous 4D external Command Sets
       ° 4D Database Help System using Notebooks as Help Files
            (includes all necessary external procedures)

      Command Sets for 4D Write, 4D Backup, 4D Draw and 
      4D Calc may be purchased separately.
