November is CapeSoft Amnesty Month
NetTalk 4 gets Even Better!
PostgreSQL Support in FM3


November is CapeSoft Amnesty Month

We all know how it goes - you start out (as many Clarion programmers do) as a single developer operation and before you know it, you've hired a couple of developers to handle the dirty work, while you do the real work of selling the product. The problem is, you forgot to purchase the extra licences required for all those amazing CapeSoft accessories (that help you work smarter, not harder).

CapeSoft's licence policy requires one licence per developer. We understand that most developers have more than one machine (your work PC, home PC, and perhaps a laptop or two) - so we don't restrict the number of times you can install our products (for each licence purchased) to give you as much flexibility as you need, but those installs are limited to one single developer per license .

To help you come right and return to that clean slate that you started out on, we're making the month of November 2006 amnesty month. Anyone who needs to purchase additional licences, can purchase these at 50% of the normal purchase price.  

Note: This is only for purchasing additional licences - you must have at least one licence for those products that you are purchasing additional licences for. You're welcome to make the most of the special to purchase new accessories at the same time - but the first licence will cost the normal price and from there on the discount will apply.

Amnesty month starts today and ends on  November 30, 2006, so don't miss out on catching up with those missing licences while it won't hit your wallet too hard.

If you are purchasing additional licences, then please indicate this in the comments field of the online order form as follows:

NetTalk 4 gets Even Better!

NetTalk 4 allows you to build stand-alone web servers using Clarion. The program is written much like any Clarion program, in the Clarion language, using templates. It is deployed just like any Windows program, as an EXE with DLL's etc. There are no dependancies on IIS or Apache (or anything else). Because it is a Clarion program it can use any data source that Clarion can use, including flat-file systems like TPS . Extending your existing programs to include a web interface has never been easier.

NetTalk also includes classes for doing many other Network functions, including email send & receive (SMTP/POP3) , ftp clients, web clients, peer-to-peer communications, remote program shut-downs and much much more.

The online web server demo has been updated and can be found at:

This example was written entirely with templates, no hand-code has been used.

As from November 1, 2006  the price for the NetTalk upgrade, from version 3 to version 4, will increase from $149 to $199. If you're still on NetTalk 3, then now's a good time to purchase an upgrade before the price goes up. The current NetTalk price for new owners is $399.

PostgreSQL Support in FM3

File Manager 3 (aka FM3) builds basic automatic file management into your program. This means you can make changes to your dictionary file structure, and FM3 will take care of the file structure changes automatically. It forms part of your application. FM3 supports data conversion between file drivers as well.

FM3 supports a number of databases, the most recent addition being PostgreSQL. You can now implement the full functionality of FM3 into your PostgreSQL applications.

Another new addition is the ability to connect to Oracle Express (the freeware version of the Oracle's Flagship product).
