I can remember seeing Dan McKenzie and
Rudy Wolfs demonstrate a pre-release version at Dan’s cottage. They sure
were excited about it! Less than a year later I was working with them too. Sure
seems like a long time ago. Dave Shelley -----Original Message----- I missed that by a few months, having joined EveryWare
later in 1995 (November) when I became the first 'official' support person for
Tango. However I do remember meeting Mark and Greg Hemstreet at a Toronto Mac
Users Group meeting when they did a demo of either a late ButlerLink/Web or an
early Tango. I had been playing around with Butler and the FirstClass
connectivity that had been available a year or two earlier. It's only problem
was that we could search Butler from FirstClass, we could create new records
from FirstClass, but we couldn't modify records from FirstClass and they never
did get that working. Tango came along and it wasn't really needed as much. Brings back a lot of great memories, including
shrinkwrapping the original release of Tango for FileMaker. I do have a set of
floppies around someplace with the Butler install that came with Tango 1.0. Steve Smith Oakbridge Information Solutions Office: (519) 624-4388 Fax:

EveryWare Development Corp, June 1995: ButlerLink/Web
1.0.2 was released as part of the Butler DB suite. It appeared in the Butler suite of tools a few months earlier but we have no
record of the official release of 1.0.0. The earliest record of ButlerLink we
know of was a demonstration of it at the first WebEdge in
Austin on April 2-4, 1995 by Henry Lach and Mark Wickens. It was billed as the "most accessible database" as you could access it with
newtons, WebStar, and XCMDs (HyperCard).
Butlerlink/Web was an access tool that provided very simple input, searching, and output modules. The review from WebEdge was "The demos worked as advertised, but
once created, files made with the Butlerlink/Web can only be edited by
text editors and not the Butlerlink/Web itself". It was one of the first commercial web/database
connectivity suite for the internet. Here is the marketing hype from back then... ----- ButlerLink Web 1.02 - ButlerLink/Web is a powerful,
yet easy-to-use tool for allowing your WebSTAR server's users to
access Butler SQL databases. With ButlerLink/Web you can create pages
that let users search, modify, add, and delete database records. The
two main parts of ButlerLink/Web are the Form Maker and the CGI. The
Form Maker is used to create the database access pages. The CGI
interprets these pages and the Web user's criteria, queries the Butler SQL
server, and returns formatted results. You don't need to write or know any
SQL or HTML. ButlerLink/Web does it all for you. It's never been so
easy to put databases at the fingertips of 35 million internet
users! ----- And finally this is a message that accompanied the
official announcement of ButlerLink/Web 1.0.2 10 years ago (we are not sure of
the exact date in June). ----- EveryWare Development Corp. Please Note: Until early July we are running one 28k
modem for our Web site. Please be patient when accessing our pages!
ButlerLink/Web 1.0.2 has been officially released! All you need is Butler SQL,
along with a WebSTAR Web server from StarNine Technologies Inc. ,
and you'll be in Web database heaven. ----- ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf |
