This information was great, I just have one question "What is it for FirstClass?" :) Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Latest downloads & List Archives @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Steve Smith Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 12:33 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: OT - FirstClass (was RE: RE: Witango-Talk: Setting Email Priority) Obviously Ben is not an old Mac person. In some ways, he should be very grateful that FirstClass existed because without it, there might never had been a Tango or a Witango. FirstClass was originally an inter-office mail application (or groupmail) developed by SoftArc for the Mac platform. One of it's claims to fame was that it had the ability to create conferences. These opened up in the FirstClass client like a folder. Anything inside it could be shared (with permissions) with other users. The folks at EveryWare saw an opportunity (or the people at SoftArc did, I'm not sure) and developed a set of tools that allowed a FirstClass conference to communicate with Butler SQL to read data and to insert data. They never did get the update thing working. I remember seeing it as early as 1992-3 which was a few years before Tango was born. >From there, ButlerLink Web was developed which was the predessor to Tango. Tango 1.0 was launched in the fall of 1995 as a freebie for Butler. Tango for Windows was launched in the spring of 1996 (version 1.5) and supported ODBC (and cost $), and Tango for Filemaker was launched later that summer (version 1.6). BTW, SoftArc is now Centrinity and FirstClass is still there main product. Jim Geller (sp?), one of the old EveryWare QA people was working in their QA department.
