<p>FileMaker, Inc. Announces FileMaker Pro 4.0 Developer Edition<br />
02:15 a.m. Mar 18, 1998 Eastern</p>
<p>HANNOVER, Germany (CeBIT), March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- FileMaker, Inc.,<br />
formerly Claris Corporation, has announced FileMaker Pro 4.0 Developer<br />
Edition, an essential database development tool kit for corporate and<br />
professional developers that runs on Windows 95, Windows NT and the Mac OS.<br />
FileMaker Pro 4.0 Developer Edition will give developers a wide array of<br />
32-bit based applications and tools for compiling, debugging, developing,<br />
deploying and managing FileMaker Pro database solutions, the company said.</p>
<p>For the first time, the new version, scheduled to ship later this year,<br />
will feature an API (Application Program Interface) that will allow<br />
developers to write External Functions for FileMaker Pro databases, a<br />
capability that will greatly expand the core functionality found in the<br />
stand-alone version of FileMaker Pro 4.0, the company's award-winning<br />
desktop database software. In addition, FileMaker Pro Developer Edition<br />
will enable access to FileMaker Pro databases over Java-compliant operating<br />
systems, such as Unix and Solaris Systems, with the addition of Java<br />
classes.</p>
<p>The right developer tools for a wide range of FileMaker Pro user needs<br />
"Just as the stand-alone version of FileMaker Pro 4.0 now provides fast,<br />
powerful solutions for managing information of all types, FileMaker Pro 4.0<br />
Developer Edition will make it much easier for the FileMaker Pro developer<br />
community to build solutions for enterprise workgroups and small to<br />
mid-sized organizations," said Dominique Goupil, president of FileMaker,<br />
Inc. "Using FileMaker Pro Developer Edition, professional developers can<br />
easily turn user requests into solid business solutions."</p>
<p>The new FileMaker Pro 4.0 Developer Edition API will allow developers to<br />
produce useful new external functions such as credit-card verification,<br />
complex scientific and financial calculations and graphical representations<br />
of data, many of which were not available before using FileMaker Pro.</p>
<p>"This API, along with the Java classes, thrusts FileMaker Pro into the core<br />
of corporate MIS suites by permitting rapid development of robust,<br />
diversified, sophisticated information management systems," said developer<br />
Steven H. Blackwell, president and CEO, Management Counseling Services, in<br />
Alexandria, Virginia.</p>
<p>Java developers, using FileMaker Pro Java classes shipping within the new<br />
Developer Edition, will be able to harness the relational power of<br />
FileMaker Pro to enhance their Java applications and applets.</p>
<p>Other features within the new version include an enhanced version of the<br />
FileMaker Pro runtime binding engine allowing for fast, low-cost deployment<br />
of runtime solutions based on FileMaker Pro. Offering greater GUI<br />
customization of the database, the runtime binding engine does not require<br />
users to install a full copy of FileMaker Pro. Also included is a complete<br />
Developer Tools Collection including Home Page Pro 3.0 (formerly Claris<br />
Home Page 3.0); Code Warrior Lite; thousands of buttons and backgrounds;<br />
more than 50 complementary third-party tools from leading FileMaker Pro<br />
developers; and Windows and Mac OS versions of FileMaker Pro 4.0.</p>
<p>FileMaker Pro 4.0 Developer Edition, to be priced at $499 (in the U.S.) and<br />
available through authorized FileMaker, Inc. resellers, will ship on a<br />
hybrid CD-ROM (Windows and Mac OS) allowing for easy cross-platform<br />
development. Windows requirements include an Intel compatible 486/33<br />
computer running Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5.1 or higher (with 8MB RAM<br />
along with a CD-ROM drive and hard disk drive). Mac OS requirements include<br />
any Macintosh, Power Macintosh or compatible running System 7.1 or newer, a<br />
CD ROM drive, hard disk drive and 4MB RAM (8MB required for Power<br />
Macintosh).</p>
<p>With three million units of software distributed, FileMaker, Inc. delivers<br />
desktop-to-Web productivity and creativity for customers ranging from SOHO<br />
to the enterprise. Its award-winning FileMaker Pro line of database<br />
software provides relational power, instant and custom Internet publishing<br />
and legendary ease-of-use. Its unique blend of power and ease has fueled<br />
significant growth: sales of FileMaker Pro for Windows have tripled in the<br />
past two years, complementing its long-time leadership among Macintosh<br />
database software.</p>
