FMP Database Catalog READ ME [05/20/95] - Version 1.05, Edition 02
Welcome
You have just downloaded one of the most innovative new products designed
for FileMaker Pro developers and FMP end-users.
The FMP Database Catalog is an electronic, interactive FileMaker Pro
based catalog comprised of information regarding highest quality,
shareware, freeware, and/or commercial FMP databases, templates, and/or
related FileMaker services. It can be searched, printed and browsed by
using the clean, professional graphical-user interface. This is an
evolving project. Each day more and more people/companies are realizing
the potential of registering their products or services for entry into
the FMP Database Catalog. You can be sure it will be supported for many
years to come!
Adding your template to this database is attractive for a number of reasons.
For Example: It provides you with an inexpensive source of
high-distribution advertising that is function specific (people who use this
database to search for solutions will already have to have FileMaker Pro
to view it). In other words, the advertising is accurately selective -
your target market is already selected for you. Secondly, the information
in the database is well organized and easy to read/follow. Users will
be able to search for a template (or category of templates), read the
description, readme files, view a sample screen shot, or logo, of the
template, find out how to contact the author, compare/contrast templates
against their competition, and even fill out the provided registration form
(assuming your template is shareware or commercial). This is an essential
resource for you - the FileMaker Pro template developer, AS WELL AS the casual
FileMaker Pro user who is searching for the template that will make their
lives, or their job, easier.
The distribution of this database is one of the primary reasons you
should add your template to the "FMP Database Catalog." Every few weeks
I will be uploading a new version (assuming there are new entries), to
America On-Line, the info-mac archives, the University of Michigan Archives,
and local bulletin boards. The database will also be available from
*various* World Wide Web sites/pages. This is an unparalleled
advertising opportunity. This database pinpoints possible clients and
gives them all the necessary information to get in touch with you and
your product - WORLD WIDE!
All the data in the database is provided by the author of the template. YOU
provide all the detailed information you like - including: the readme files
(or BRIEF manuals), a single screen shot/sound, a registration form (if you
choose), a short "bio" or description of your product, and more. Since you
are providing all the information, there is absolutely NO bias or
preferential treatment (we can't be bribed)
Don't miss out on this premium opportunity to spread the word about YOUR
hard work and YOUR FileMaker Pro product or service...
If you are an end-user of FMP and you are searching for a FMP solution, this
is the perfect file for you. It is 100% to anyone who wants to view it
and it contains loads of useful information. We hope you find what you
are looking for!
Special Note: If your product is offered to the Public 100% free of charge
(freeware), you can add your product to the FMP Database Catalog free of
charge!
Thanking you in advance for your efforts, I am
