Re: FileMaker Dependent, aarrrgh

I know FM Pro dosen't come on a Un*x platform. I know only server
dose. I know the advantages of Optigold, I have been studying it and
the list for several months.

Hmmm, I got the Optigold downloaded, but apparently I didn't get the one
your referring to because it was asking for the makemenu.fp5 (sp?).
While browsing through the file listing I I hit okay instead of cancel
while the "open.fp5" was selected and now all I get is this little
window with a button that says "Open Optigold ISP".

Anyone know how to correct that?
