...but if you look for a short description of the files:
faq.fp3
This is a template that contains my edition of Frequently Asked Questions on FileMaker Pro. It contains answers from various sources, such as postings on the newsgroup comp.sys.mac.databases, various mailing lists, such as FMPRO-L@dartmouth.edu, and my own experience. Most of the current information deals with FMP 2.1 and FMP 3.0, while some info for previous releases is provided as well.
You may get this FAQs as a text release from the usual FAQ sites, e.g.
<http://rtfm.mit.edu/comp/sys/mac/databases/>
Both plain text releases, the last release faq.fm for FMP2.1 and the always most recent release of faq.fp3 may be found on
The template itself demonstrates some of the powers of FMP, such as calculations, buttons, recursive and conditional scripts, self lookups, hidden features etc. It may teach you even more on FMP by its built in features .
This template is suited to collect your mail within, too. For that purpose a special AppleScript is provided:
Eudora2FMP
This script may take all messages from an Eudora mailbox and pass its messages to records within faq.fm. New messages from within FMP may get queued to the Out mailbox of Eudora. ... It requires AppleScript and Eudora Light or Pro.
Any bug reports, suggestions, comments and improvements are highly appreciated.
