Object-Oriented Language & Development Environment: Forté / TOOL
Intro
The Forté Application Environment provides on object-oriented multi-tier

load balancing, or to utilize platform specific features.

development language in addition to TOOL. A Java only development system is now available
as Forte For Java (formerly called SynerJ). Visit the
Netbeans
site for a free version of the Java development tool.

NT, Macintosh, HP-UX, Solaris, DG/UX, AIX DYNIX, OpenVMS, Digital Unix,
and OS/390. Databases supported include Oracle, Sybase, Informix,
Open Ingress, MS Acess, ODBC, DB2, and RDB. External interfaces provided
