[MD1] ObjectTools v1.0 for 4D
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Automated Solutions Group Announces the Release of ObjectTools v1.0
Huntington Beach, CA - July 16, 1999: Automated Solutions Group today
announced the release of ObjectTools v1.0 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...

has been changed/removed. You can even set the compile options to use

webmasters worldwide to a popular new category of webmaster tool: the

the continuing trend towards remotely-hosted tools in general seems
to have been missed.

[ANN] SysMenu 1.4.2 and appe Windows 2.05
SysMenu is a shell project, written by Matt Slot, that demonstrates
how to create and manage a system menu. I simply updated it to
compile under CodeWarrior Pro 4.0. I also fixed a bug that caused
SysMenu not to recognize some of the newer PPC microprocessors,
resulting in loading the 68K code instead of the PPC one, which was
causing SysMenu to act highly unstable on my G3.
appe Windows is a shell project, written by Matt Slot, that
demonstrates how to create and manage a TSM window that always stays
on top. I simply updated it to compile under CodeWarrior Pro 4.0. I
also updated it to use Apple's tollbox window definition instead of
Infinity Windoid. The last change I made was to make it Appearance
compliant.
