===GRASP 4.0===
In February 1991 GRASP 4.0 was released, with the ability to create "self-executing" demos (bind to make EXE added), AutoDesk FLI/FLC support, PC Speaker Digitized Sound, and a robust programming environment. It also included [[ARTOOLS]], a collection of image manipulation tools which included an early morphing utility which tracked all points in source and destination images, creating all the in-between frames. Later that year HRFE (High Res Flic Enhancement) was offered as an add-on for GRASP, "[enabling] GRASP to recognize, import, manipulate and compile animations created in [[Autodesk Animator Pro]] environment."<ref>{{cite webnews |last1=Mallory |first1=Jim |title=Mace intros graphic animation program enhancements - Paul Mace Software Inc.'s HRFE graphics software, RealSound sound processing software and WinGRASP operating system enhancement - Product Announcement |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NEW/is_1991_Nov_13/ai_11479624 |titlework=CBSiNewsbytes News Network |websitedate=FindArticlesNovember 13, 1991 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050518044312/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NEW/is_1991_Nov_13/ai_11479624 |archive-date=May 18, 2005 |___location=Ashland, Oregon|accessdate=2016-07-23|via=FindArticles.com}}</ref>
 
In a published paper critiquing GRASP 4.0, the authors Stuart White and John Lenarcic said that "The GRASP language offers creative freedom in the development of interactive multimedia presentations, especially to seasoned programmers with an artistic inclination."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ascilite.org.au/aset-archives/confs/iims/1994/qz/white.html |title=ArchivedThe copyHistory of GLPRO and the people behind it|website=GMedia|accessdate=2007-05-23 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010625001824/http://www.gmedia.com/glpro/press/history.html |archivedate=2001-06-25 }}</ref>
