[FPTech Sales]

                    ATTENTION!       ATTENTION!

      fP Technologies, Inc. announces the release of filePro 5.6

INCLUDING:
  64-bit I/O that breaks the 2GB file storage size limit!
  (Not supported under SCO OpenServer Rel 5, Windows 95, 98, and ME)

  Data Encryption supporting various encryption standards including:
  Blowfish, Twofish, AES, Rijandel, DES, Safer+, and Rc2

  Nested Calls provides "calls" within processing tables to be
  nested and limited only by the system's resources.

  Spell check commands that check spelling within memo or data
  fields.  Words can be added to or deleted from the dictionaries
  allowing the user to make custom dictionaries.

  26 Automatic Indexes (A to Z) are available for those that require
  this feature.  (Indexing procedures have not been modified.)

  fP License Manager offers several features for the filePro
  customers.

    1) Reduce user counts.  "System calls" from within a
       processing session will be excluded from the user counts.
       This means that if you have a "system call" within your
       processing table you will be charged with only one (1)
       session user count; however, if you open another session you
       will be charged with a second (2nd) user count.  Under prior
       releases, you were charged three (3) users counts.  One for
       the 1st session, one (1) for the "system call", and one
       (1) for the 2nd session.

    2) Simpler Licensing.  Upon request you will be provided a media
       CD that will contain all filePro products. The License
       Manager will be used to activate only the products/features
       purchased.  Adding additional user counts, products or
       features can now be done by downloading a new license and not
       the media.

    3) Allow for "free" evaluation software with time or
       record count limits.  This will allow you or new
       developers/users to "try" a product, prior to purchase.
       If you wish to purchase, you simply purchase a new license
       and you are ready to install and continue developing your
       application.

  Windows UNC support now allows you to store your data at:
  \\machine name\share name

                     SOCKETS OPEN COMMUNICATIONS!

With the software industry moving more and more to open systems, we
see that it will be a requirement in the future for filePro to talk
with and pass data to and from one system application to another
application server via the Internet or Local Area Network.  To help
the filePro community attract new business opportunities and expand
their application development, we are releasing the fP Sockets
routines/commands.  Please note that this feature is sold and
licensed separately and not included in the price of version 5.6
filePro Plus.  This product will allow the developer to open and
monitor TCP/IP ports.  For example, you would be able to pass
billing information from a SCO Unix server to a Windows server at a
clearing house regarding payments by using fP Sockets.  You could
pass information back and forth to another vendor's application
opening the door to future development and business.  Another
example is that you could have a customer with 5 retail stores.
Each of those stores could run an application that uses a TCP/IP
socket connection to communicate with an application running on a
central server to report sales, make inventory queries, etc. With
the Internet and communications becoming an important part of the
software industry, you can use the fP Sockets routines/commands to
open the door to unlimited product development by using filePro.

Some filePro developers are currently using  fP Sockets to "talk
to assembly line machines" for a manufacturing and stamping
companies.  Think of the possibilities you have to develop these
types of applications.   To replace an employee's salary and
benefits by using fP Sockets could save a company thousands of
dollars and trust me, they would be willing to pay you a large
portion of this saving for providing that software.

Another developer is using fP Sockets to handle credit card
transactions and writes:
"I have used the sockets in two ways - in a client side use to
interact with a credit card system.  Very fast to respond and no
network issues.  I have also used the sockets logic for a server
side application which is always at the ready for a request and I
have seen no problem.  It does not poll like "inkey", but it
just opens a port and sits behind it with a catcher's mitt to catch
anything that comes thru the port. It is extremely fast and works
just great.  I am parsing an XML file, checking order status and
generating an XML file and it seems to be able to respond from one
socket to from 20 to 110 queries per second.  The speed variation
seems to depend on the traffic from computer A to computer B, with
the fastest testing with the same intranet.  It is a very powerful
feature".
