It seems to have been a well-kept secret up to this point. Since Ken's site is designed using WebCatalog, I imagine it will be a faster and more flexible solution; but it will be interesting to see how WebCat competes with a FileMaker/Lasso setup. Naturally, I said to the person in the booth, Why aren't you running this on WebCatalog? To which he replied, Web what? Oh, well. FM Pro's been around since Reagan was in office, so...Kenneth Grome wrote:> By the way, here's an interesting note from Gil Poulsen. He says Apple Computer is using Lasso and FM Pro to handle a similar service that currently lists about 12,000 software and hardware items for Mac computers. Unfortunately I could not find either Typhoon or WebCatalog in that database, and I also don't see any mechanism for PCS to create those listings themselves like they can at MacFinder... so apparently it's up to Apple to pick and choose which items get listed. Anyways, here it is for those interested: > > http://www.macsoftware.apple.com/ > > Sincerely, > Ken Grome > 808-737-6499 > WebDNA Solutions > mailto:ken@webdna.net > http://www.webdna.net-- Gil Poulsen, Webmaster************************************************************** * AltiM@c * Phone: (908) 222-9001 * * 111 Mali Drive * FAX: (908) 222-9002 * * North Plainfield, NJ * e-mail: help@altimac.com * * 07062-2355 * WWW: http://www.altimac.com * **************************************************************
