For character mode deployment, you still get the tremendous advantage of developing in a GUI environment -- multiple windows, cut-and-paste, viewing triggers simultaneously, point-and-click UI development, etc. And Forms 4 also gives you the ability to access non-Oracle data sources with optimization per data source, tight integration for data and look-and-feel (and development environment) with Oracle Reports 2, many new UI widgets, integrated menu development, etcetcetc. For more information, get the Forms 4 Data Sheet from your sales person.
