Matrix 4DAS

Applescript support for 4th Dimension

4d plugin   4DAS is a "carbonized" plug-in for 4th Dimension which allows you to control other applications in the MacOS through the use of AppleScript.

AppleScript is an easy-to-use, approachable, English-like language that controls nearly everything your Apple computer can do.

Most Mac based applications are "scriptable" such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, QuarkXPress, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office, plus many elements of the OS such as Finder, Sherlock, Network, Printing, Speech Recognition, Memory and Appearance.

So you can see that by enabling your 4D applications to access the power of AppleScript the possibilities are endless!

You can learn more about AppleScript at http://www.apple.com/applescript.

Unlike other similar 4D plug-ins 4DAS is "carbonized" so it works seamlessly with both OS9 and OSX and with version 6.8 of 4D.
