For the first time Applixware 4.4.1 for Linux comes with Applix Builder and Applix Data. Applix Builder is an object oriented development environment which allows the realization of user-specific applications with minimal coding effort. Applix Data offers fast and easy access to SQL databases. This will prove especially valuable to database novices and lay users.

The brand new release 4.4.1 comes with lots of improvements and enhancements.
