Soft Solutions, Inc. today unveiled DataStrike!

Atlanta, GA ---- September 16, 1998 ---- Soft Solutions, Inc. unveiled DataStrike!, it's new 4D search engine that empowers programmers with a supercharged query tool for inclusion in database designs and vertical market products.

Author Bob Keleher applied more than a decade of data warehousing knowledge and his passion for intense problem-solving into DataStrike! DataStrike! performs difficult searches with lightning-speed accuracy using built-in intelligence and the capability of traversing complex data structures.

"It's the culmination of five years of repeatedly studying the searching problems inherent in 4D," says Soft Solutions president Tim Haratine. "DataStrike! incorporates speed, simplicity, breadth, depth and flexibility. It's a sophisticated tool capable of cracking the toughest 4D query."

Initial evaluations by respected programmers indicated that DataStrike! solves a number of long-standing 4D Query problems. Dave Batton, president of DataCraft says: "It's simpler, yet more capable than, and easily outperforms the more limited 4D Query Editor as it intelligently guides users."
Mark Shill, president of IBS and developer behind the 128-table CAOS Heart Surgery Information System agrees. "DataStrike!'s incredible speed adds a 10x improvement to the limited 4D Query Editor. It's easily the most robust, sate-of-the-art search engine on the market today."

Written entirely in native 4D code, DataStrike! is a cross-platform, royalty-free source code solution. DataStrike! is fully optimized to support circular database paths. Developer licenses will be available at the 4D Summit at an introductory price. Following the Summit, Soft Solutions will make a demo version of the program available for download from the Soft Solutions Web site at www.softsinc.com
