And we've been able to make some improvements to the first beta version thanks to the feedback we received from our users." New Features Troi File Plug-in 3.0b2 has these features (compared to the classic plug-in): The plug-in uses the native External Function API of FileMaker Pro 7. The plug-in functions now have a size limit of 1 Gb per parameter (up from the total of 64000 character limit for all parameters in FileMaker 6!) Each function now supports Unicode characters. The main changes since the last beta are: A plug-in for Windows is now available. You can now use several of the plug-in's functions in a calculation field, making it for example possible to gather data without scripts.
