capability, one easily sends customer order receipts immediately via email.<br />

databases from anywhere on the Internet. Java developers use the provided<br />
set of Java classes to create dynamic front-ends to FileMaker Pro data.<br />
Sample applets provided by Blue World include a Java-based FileMaker Pro<br />
client that mimics the FileMaker Pro standard interface, a Java-based chat<br />
forum code-named "CoffeeHouse", a Lasso Tags database and a database info<br />
gathering example.</p>
<p>Built-in Web Server</p>
<p>Lasso 2.0 Server version offers a built-in Web server optimized for<br />
dedicated FileMaker Pro Web database servers. Beyond all the capabilities<br />
found in the CGI and plugin versions, Lasso 2.0 Server provides standard<br />
Web server features including: the ability to serve HTML, GIF, and JPEG<br />
files (in addition to other MIME types), selectable port controls, suffix<br />
mapping, process controls based upon suffix name and more.</p>
<p>Industry Acceptance</p>
<p>Lasso and the freeware Lasso Lite claim wide acceptance throughout all<br />
sectors of the Mac OS Web serving community with tens of thousands of<br />
users. Lasso's unrivaled feature set powers the highest performing<br />
FileMaker Pro websites on the Internet including Apple's Macintosh Software<br />
and Hardware Registry (<a href="http://www.macsoftware.apple.com-receives" title="http://www.macsoftware.apple.com-receives">http://www.macsoftware.apple.com-receives</a> over<br />
120,000 hits per day) and high profile sites at Claris Corp. as well as<br />
sophisticated intranet sites at Motorola, R.R. Donnelley & Sons and the<br />
State of Washington, among others. Lasso is also the Web-enabling tool of<br />
choice used by leading FileMaker Pro developers.</p>
<p>Numerous authoring vendors are working with Blue World to ensure Lasso<br />
compatibility with their HTML and/or Java authoring environments. Soon, at<br />
least one large Java authoring vendor will announce a technology alliance<br />
with Blue World which brings easy Java authoring for FileMaker Pro<br />
databases to the masses.</p>
<p>Press Awards and Acknowledgements</p>
<p>In its April, 1997 comprehensive review of competing FileMaker Pro<br />
Web-enabling solutions, Macworld Magazine awarded Lasso 1.1 its prestigious<br />
Editors' Choice award along with 4 stars. Macworld notes that "Of the three<br />
I tested, Lasso was the fastest" and concludes "With excellent support for<br />
advanced FileMaker Pro features, outstanding formatting control, fast<br />
performance, and thorough documentation, Lasso is a database-publishing<br />
demon". Throughout its extensive coverage of Lasso, MacWEEK notes that<br />
"Lasso's strengths are its extensive built-in commerce and e-mail features"<br />
and cites Lasso as a "good, low-cost choice... as it provides basic<br />
cyberstore templates".</p>
