You can add Mark IV/V (or maybe VI if it still exists) which was/is an RPG
like language but more powerful. It used a type of dictionary where RPG did
not (although it may now, it's been a while).
As for Eifel and Smalltalk, as far as I know these are OO languages but are
not 4GLs. I really don't know enough about them to say more.

Current list of 4GLs I heard of:
PowerHouse
Oracle Developer
Forte (how does this one compare to PH?)
Speedware
Progress
LANSA
AbAp
PeopleTools?
Natural
RPG
Focus
Something that sounds like "Admins"
Who has any more?
Hey Bob D. What would you class Enfin, Eifel and SmallTalk as?
