Troi's FileMaker Plug-in beta released

January, 7, 1998, Alphen a/d Rijn

Troi Automatisering is proud to announce the availability of a beta version of the new Troi FM Plug-in, for FileMaker Pro 4.0 both on Macintosh and Windows. This public beta was demonstrated earlier today at MacWorld Expo by Jeff Gagne of Claris Corporation.

This is a FileMaker Pro 4.0 plug-in, which adds 3 groups of external functions to FileMaker Pro 4.0:

  • Dynamic Dialogs: create dialog text (and up to 4 buttons!) on the fly by calculation.
  • Field Encryption: encrypt and decrypt fields using DES encryption technique.
  • File Manipulation: save or read in the contents of a field from or to a file. Other manipulations are also possible.

Peter Baanen, company president, states that "This cross-platform plug-in really shows the hidden power of the FileMaker Pro 4.0 Plug-in Architecture. Finally you can do things you thought were still impossible to do with FileMaker 4.0. Make your databases more dynamic, more secure and more manipulative by using this plug-in. It is possible now!"

The beta version of Troi FM Plug-in 1.0b3 is available for downloading at Troi's Web site at: <http://www.troi.com/>. This plug-in will expire on 31-Jan-98. On the site there is a Macintosh (.hqx) or a windows version (.zip) of the package. Each package contains BOTH the Macintosh version as well as the windows version of the plug-in. Only the compression and (text)formatting is different.

Anyone who creates FileMaker 4.0 databases can benefit of the easy to use external functions which the Troi FM Plug-in provides. Troi Automatisering would like you to give it a try and see if you are as excited as we are. We really like to hear what you think of it.

Troi FM Plug-in will be released later this year, and will be distributed via the Internet as try-before-you-buy software. A single user copy will cost $30. Multi-user discounts are available.

Troi Automatisering is developer of databases and utilities such as ProMaker Utils, a utility to paste complete scripts into FileMaker Pro. For more information, visit our Web site at: <http://www.troi.com/>.
