filePro 5.6 is Released!

Including:

  • 64-bit I/O that breaks the 2GB file storage size limit! (Note: May require new OS)

  • 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 field s. 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 developers that require this feature. Indexing procedures have not been modified.

  • fP License Manager offers several features for the filePro customers.
    • 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 (2 nd) user count. Under prior releases, you were charged three (3) users counts. (One count for the 1 st session, one (1) for the “system call”, and one (1) for the 2 nd session. )
    • 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.
    • 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 then 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

filePro 5.6 can also optionally support sockets withthe purchase of fP Sockets.
