Fm Database Catalog

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)
