Free Update for Fast Migration to Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server with
Absolutely No Re-coding Required

4D, Inc., publishers of the 4th Dimension RAD/RDBMS Environment and 4D
WebSTAR Server Suite, today announced the immediate availability of 4D
Server 6.7.5, now native for Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server with an easy
migration path and no code changes required for migration from Mac OS 9.
Already known as a "zero admin" server in which changes to an application
are automatically updated on clients, now users of 4D Server 6.7 can
upgrade their database server to 4D Server 6.7.5 and run automatically on
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. 4D Server 6.7.5 is compatible with current 4D
client software on Mac OS 9 and Windows. 4D 6.7.x native Mac OS X client
software is currently under development, expected to ship before the end of
the year. 4D Server 6.7.5 is available today, free for registered 4D Server
6.7 users and upgrade priced starting at $299 for 4D Server 6.5 users,
directly from (http://www.4d.com/675).

"4D Server users immediately recognize the advantage of combining the power
of 4D Server with the power of Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server," explained
Brendan Coveney, president and CEO, 4D, Inc. "We offer this server update
for free as a demonstration of our commitment to the Macintosh community of
users. We took the time to ensure our developers can migrate without
changing a single ounce of code as a demonstration of our commitment to
making their lives easy."

"With the power of UNIX, Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server deliver unprecedented
stability and performance," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of
Worldwide Developer Relations. "4D Server is an excellent example of
innovation on Mac OS X and provides professional Mac database developers
with a powerful, scalable solution that takes just minutes to deploy."
