* About FootRunner 5
FootRunner 5 includes support for local variables, parameter passing (9 maximum) and the ability to execute 4D code embedded within HTML pages. The FootRunner 5 plug-in package, when installed in a custom 4th Dimension database application, enables programmers to create executable 4th Dimension method files which can be saved to disk (or as data in the database) and executed later. Once created, these files can be transmitted and executed directly by any other 4th Dimension application containing the FootRunner 5 plug-in. FootRunner 5 is compatible with all versions of 4th Dimension from v6.0 up to the current release and is available for Macintosh and Windows.
An updated developer manual describes the new functionality. It includes numerous suggestions and sample code to whet the developer's appetite for practical use of FootRunner 5, each based on Footprints' own experience in developing and supporting its clients' custom information systems.
