PHOENIX. December 17, 1999. Over the last few years, DocuScript has shown
itself to be an invaluable tool for Filemaker developers looking to
troubleshoot and document their projects. Now with improved script
reporting and automatic problem detection, it has become even easier for
developers to rediscover their scripts.

Aim DocuScript at a FileMaker project and it will extract every script in
every file and quickly generate a series of reports -- starting with an
overview of the files in the project, right down to the individual script
steps. Click on a reference to an external script, and DocuScript
instantly jumps to that script. Move through scripts step by step, or let
DocuScript trace through an entire script for you and build a
hierarchical report of every instruction, every external script, and
every recursion.

One of the new features in DocuScript 2.0, and one that will appeal to
anyone responsible for large FileMaker projects, is the small, but
powerful Problem Dot. DocuScript now automatically searches through all
your scripts and marks any file containing an error, including such
things as broken relationships, missing fields, and missing layouts.
Click on a file name and you'll find another Problem Dot next to each
problem script. Click on a script and continue to follow the dots
straight to the bugs.

You can generate a Problem Report that summarizes all the problems found
by DocuScript, or perform your own customized searches across all the
files in your project. Search for a field name, a status function, or any
of the standard FileMaker terms built into the DocuScript search engine.

With all this script information gathered together, DocuScript is also
the perfect tool for documenting your projects. You can add comments
anywhere in the project database generated by DocuScript or easily copy
the information you need into your own reports.

DocuScript requires FileMaker 5.0 running under Mac OS 7.6.1 or better on
a PowerPC-equipped Macintosh. You can purchase DocuScript for $79.00 US,
online from the Waves In Motion website, or upgrade your current copy for
$39.00.



For all their products, Waves In Motion offers a demo version you can try
before you make your purchase. The demo version of DocuScript allows you
to try out all the features in the application, but does not allow you to
save your work.
