Network Components

ACI includes various network components required to use the supported networks 
protocols. In certain cases, depending on your implementation, these protocols 
may not be included with 4D Client or 4D Server (refer to the Network Components 
online documentation for more information).

In this folder, you will find the installer to install:
	- The Network Component Appletalk 6.0.5
	- The Network Component TCP/IP 6.0.5
	- The Network Component IPX 6.0.5
	- The Network Component Local 6.0.5

Memory Component 6.0.5

This component (also called "Local" component) has been designed for users who 
want to do Client/Server on the same machine.
With network components like IPX, TCP, ADSP on Open Transport, Client/Server on 
the same machine is not allowed.

- Use of the Memory component.

We strongly advise you to limit the use of this component to simple tasks with 
4D Server (like administration tasks for example).
Indeed, you have to know that, due to its peculiar architecture, this component 
is very far from reaching the time performance of a 4D Client using a normal 
network component somewhere on the network (especially in data manipulation).

Another clever way to use this component is to use it for testing purposes (if 
you need to simulate one more 4D Client for example).

Important point: As the Memory component doesn't use  network layers, using the 
Memory component is also a way to do Client/Server without using the network at 
all.

- Compatibility of Memory component with other products.

The Memory component has been designed for 4th Dimension 6.0.5.
This component works only between a 4D Client and a 4D Server. At this time, it 
doesn't work with other products like 4D Insider, 4D Backup and 4D Open.
