Subject: [ANN] 24U released 24U Simple Suite Wednesday, March 12, 2003, 24U Software Introduces 24U Simple Suite, an integrated suite of FileMaker plug-ins, specifically designed to simplify development of complex database solutions based on FileMaker Pro, an industry-leading cross-platform database environment. "FileMaker, Inc. made database development simple with FileMaker Pro, and we make FileMaker development simple with our plug-ins," said Honza Koudelka, Quality Control Manager of 24U. "It is not only our goal to add new functionality to FileMaker Pro, but to make it easier to implement in the first place." 24U Simple Suite is a great new way of licensing 24U's FileMaker plug-ins. After paying a fairly low annual licensing fee, you will have the right to use all 24U's plug-ins in their most recent versions. This includes any upgrades and/or new plug-in releases. "We plan to release significant upgrades to all our plug-ins, as well as brand new products later this year, and in the years to come. By introducing 24U Simple Suite we are offering new subscribers an opportunity to use the newest versions, including plug-ins for all new versions of FileMaker Pro, as soon as we release them, and in some cases even sooner" said Honza Koudelka. At this time, 24U Simple Suite covers all 4 of our most successful products - 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In, 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In, 24U PlaySound Plug-In, and 24U Transcoding Plug-In. These plug-ins target four different areas of FileMaker solution development where they can simplify the developer's work significantly. By combining them together, even more power can be unleashed. Thus, a solution's main file can call an external script, using 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In to provide parameter values for it. The external script can then display a dialog with several options, using 24U SimpleDialog Plug-In. Once the user has set their options, this script can then save them in a preferences file, using 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In. It can take one of the entered values (i.e. user's name), encode it into hexadecimal, using 24U Transcoding Plug-in, to avoid unwanted characters, and use the result as part of the primary key for relationships. The script will then return values to the calling script in global variables, managed by 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-in. At last, if something important happens, the user can be alerted by a custom sound which they have choosen in the options dialog, using 24U PlaySound Plug-In. Pricing & Availability 24U Simple Suite is immediately available for online purchase at <http://www.24uSoftware.com/buy.php>. The one-year licence for 24U SimpleSuite costs $171 USD per site, allowing buyers to legally use all 24U's plug-ins on all computers possessed by the same company within a distance of 100 miles (160 kilometers), including any new versions and/or newly released plug-ins. http://www.24uSoftware.com __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to MacDev-1, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the SUBJECT line reading "SUBSCRIBE MACDEV-1".
