This plug-in allows FileMaker Pro to communicate with user, another FileMaker Pro, and other applications via TCP/IP. You can simply trigger scripts or evaluate calculations in remote FileMaker Pro clients, or seamlessly integrate FileMaker Pro with other TCP/IP capable applications, such as those created with Real Basic or Runtime Revolution. You can even also connect to and control your FileMaker Pro solution via Telnet!
What is new in version 1.1:
- Runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel based Macs
- Works with FileMaker Pro 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5
- Opening/closing of a connection and data arrival can be handled separately
- Behaviour of default values improved
- Connection and server identifiers are now unique
- Handlers are not triggered unexpectedly during connection
- Data handler does not start before the previous data handler ends
- If client receives an empty line (just a terminator) all works correctly now
- Received data are not lost when the other side closes the connection
- Terminator in function STalk_Send can be overriden now
- Sending and receiving data now works as expected with all supported encodings
