FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fourth World Ships WebMerge 2.2 LOS ANGELES, California - 23 January, 2003 Fourth World today released 4W WebMerge 2.2, an update to its popular tool for Mac OS and Windows that generates static Web pages from database or spreadsheet data. The new version supports multi-column index page layouts, a new tag for including external files, enhanced support for JavaScript and CSS, and a number of other new features. WebMerge works with any database or spreadsheet that exports in tab-delimited, Merge, or other tabular format, including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access, and AppleWorks. Using HTML template pages created by the user, WebMerge makes a new HTML page from the data in each record of the exported file. WebMerge can also create index pages with links to each of the detail pages. Generated pages can be hosted on any Web server without the need for a specialized database hosting solution. New features in WebMerge 2.2 include support for multi-column index pages, a new tag that inserts a text file or HTML file referenced by a path in field data, and all navigation tags (WM-LinkNext, WM-LinkIndexNext, etc.) now allow attributes in the generated link, such as JavaScript function calls and CSS assignments. The interface has been also been enhanced, adding a Favorites menu for quick access to commonly-used settings files, a new "Preview in Browser" button in the results window so you can quickly view the generated files in your browser, and more. "Multi-column layout was a hotly requested feature," said Richard Gaskin, president of Fourth World Media Corporation. "Together with the new tag for including external content and the enhanced support for JavaScript and CSS, we've opened up WebMerge for a great many more users with this upgrade." "The multi-column feature will let us use WebMerge on even more projects," said Web developer Charlie Lockhart of Lockhart Design. "Two of our biggest accounts have numerous catalogs that we have been grinding out manually for the web, but can now do them with WebMerge and save a tremendous amount of time." WebMerge 2.2 is available in a free download at the publisher's Web site: <http://www.fourthworld.com/products/webmerge/>. WebMerge can be used for free to generate up to 20 pages and has all features enabled with no time limit. Registered copies of WebMerge have no limit on the number of pages that can be generated. A single-user license costs US$79. Licenses can also be purchased in groups of five or ten at a substantial discount, making it even easier for Web developers to share their workflow solutions with their clients. WebMerge requires Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP or Mac OS 8.0 or later, 64 MB total memory, and 5 MB disk space. The Mac version is available for both Mac OS X and Macintosh Classic.
