Advantages that 4.x has over the free runtime (copy/paste from user's
guide):
HTTP Engine - Required if you wish to run the web interface portion of
Optigold ISP
Portal Sorting - Customer Invoices, Payments, Email, Domain, etc.
listings are sorted
Object Rotation Labels on 3D Bar Charts look much more cosmetically
appealing
Plug-In Architecture - Allows for plug-ins, such as PCAuthorize,
PCAuthorize Hub, WebAuthorize and SQL plug-ins, etc
Load Speed - Opening Optigold ISP files is significantly faster
>Is the FileMaker requirement just for web interface?
For the most part (the other stuff listed above)
>Will OptiGold work with FileMaker Pro 5.0?
Nut yet, but if you are going to purchase FileMaker Pro, get 5.0. We
have a special agreement with FileMaker, Inc. that if you purchase 5.0
and send your serial number to support@digitalpoint.com, we can get you a
copy of 4.x for use now.
>And does it require FileMaker Server or just FileMaker?
Neither are *required*. You can network the free runtimes in a
peer-to-peer network setup, but an *ideal* setup would definately have
FileMaker Pro Server with FileMaker and/or the free runtimes hung off it
as clients.
