FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fourth World Ships WebMerge 2.0 LOS ANGELES, California - 15 October, 2002 Fourth World today released WebMerge 2.0, a tool for Mac OS and Windows that generates static Web pages from database or spreadsheet files. The new version provides many more options for specifying how pages are generated, and supports more than a dozen new tags HTML templates can use for assembling and linking Web content. WebMerge works with any database or spreadsheet that exports in tab-delimited, Merge, or other tabular format, including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access, and AppleWorks. Using HTML template pages created by the user for nearly any layout design, WebMerge makes a new HTML page from the data in each record of the exported file. WebMerge can also create an index page with links to each of the generated pages. Generated pages can be hosted on any Web server without the need for a specialized database hosting solution. WebMerge 2.0 supports many new template tags, including conditional IF-THEN expressions, an INCLUDE tag to merge the contents of any text or HTML file into a template, and several tags for navigating between generated pages. Exported database files can now use any characters as delimiters, with presets for most popular programs and formats. The new interface provides options for creating multiple index pages, running automated batches of settings, logging, and can automatically create simple templates for instant publishing with no HTML knowledge required. "From small Web shops to the Library of Congress, our 1.0 customers are looking forward to automating their work even more flexibly with WebMerge 2.0," said Richard Gaskin, President of Fourth World Media Corporation. "Their suggestions have created a feature set that just about any Web developer will find valuable sooner or later." "The index pagination will come in very handy," said Web developer Miracle Wanzo of Nala & Company. "This will be the fourth site I have built with WebMerge, and I could not live without it." WebMerge 2.0 sells for US$69 through October 31, after which the price will be US$79. Multiple license can be purchased in groups of five or ten at a substantial discount. WebMerge 2.0 is available for download at the publisher's Web site: <http://www.fourthworld.com/products/webmerge/>. WebMerge can be used for free to generate up to 20 pages from a database file and has all features enabled with no time limit, suitable for evaluation and testing. Registered copies of WebMerge have no limit on the number of pages that can be generated. WebMerge requires Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP or Mac OS 8.0 or later, 64 MB total memory, and 5 MB disk space. The Mac version is available for both Mac OS X and Macintosh Classic.
