As customers deploy GUI and web-enabled applications, Intranets and relational databases, they demand technology which operates seamlessly across traditionally incompatible hardware and operating systems. All dL4 applications and databases are portable and may be accessed or executed, simultaneously, from a wide range of Unix, Mac and Windows platforms. Whether you need a single user Mac or Windows PC, a Unix, Mac or Windows server, or any combination of dissimilar systems, dL4 is the development language you need to remain competitive.

dl4 includes dL4Term, a small footprint character and GUI network terminal, and a number of standard drivers for character terminals, data files and databases. Relational database drivers are available for Microsoft SQL and MySQL.  Built-in Internet capability, supporting such functions as e-mail and socket connections, enable applications to easily communicate with other users and systems. Developers may extend the language to connect to a variety of industry-standard database engines and display technologies.

dL4 integrates with dynamicXport to web-enable your existing applications and data.  ASP licenses for dL4 allow the delivery of legacy or web-enabled applications over the Internet and you have the option of using our data center and servers to seamlessly deliver your applications.
