A 4GL refers to a Fourth Generation Language. Java, C++, C are 3GL, Assemby 2GL, binary/octal 1 GL. 4GLs that I am aware of are FOCUS, EASEL etc. Very high level languages that allow people to "code" in a more english like syntax than C for instance. Used to be, analysts at Fortune 500 co.s who didn't keep their skills up gravitated to these type of tools. Used for prototyping, JAD, etc. The only product called Forte that I know of is an IDE. Integrated Development Environment, like Borlands JBuilder, Visual Studio, Visual Cafe, Eclipse etc. goto Sun site http://wwws.sun.com/software/sundev/jde/index.html Notice that they have just re-launched Forte as Sun One Studio 4. and they refer to it as an IDE.
