Valentina XCMDb2 Released
A press release of interest to MetaCard developers. Anyone building (or contemplating building) applications that require managing more than a few MB of data or that require sophisticated query support should download and try out the demo version of this package. It's a runtime-limited demo (10-minutes per run) and the example program comes with sample data, though unfortunately no tutorial. If you have any questions or download it and can't figure it out, don't hesitate to contact either me or Paradigma Software. This is a key technology for MetaCard developers to have in their arsenal and we need to do what it takes to make sure that it works well. Regards, Scott Valentina XCMDb2 Released ADDS SPEED IMPROVEMENTS AND CROSS PLATFORM FUNCTIONALITY FOR METACARD August 24, 2000. Beaverton, Oregon. Paradigma Software released beta 2 of its Valentina XCMD database product. Valentina XCMD beta 2 adds improvements to increase overall stability and speed for users of the Macintosh database plug-in. In addition, VXCMDb2 also introduces a cross-platform solution for users of MetaCard Corporation's MetaCard development tool for Macintosh and Windows. Valentina XCMD works with any Macintosh "card" scripting tool, including Apple's HyperCard, IncWell SuperCard, and MetaCard. Third parties have also created a special wrapper for using Valentina XCMD with Userland's Frontier web scripting tool. Valentina XCMD is based on the Valentina database kernel, an ultra-fast database solution for software developers. Valentina solutions are available for REAL Software's REALbasic, Macromedia Director, Metrowerks CodeWarrior, Microsoft C++ and Purity Software's WebSiphon. Valentina Server, a cross-platform multi-user server, is slated for release in Q1 2001. Valentina XCMDb2 is available for purchase for $199 or $299 for cross platform support for MetaCard. Users of DASWorks Jovis are eligible for a competitive upgrade discount of $100 off the regular price. Customers who purchase the beta version will also be able to use their license with the final released version. The products are available for immediate download from Paradigma Software or its authorized distributors in Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. About Paradigma Software Paradigma Software developed the ultra-fast Valentina database kernel, the core of its line of database products for designers and developers.

Say you had physiological equipment attached to the serial port. The data would presumably be available according to the sampling rate of the equipment.

I have often wished for vertical tabs and the ability to put some fields at 90-degree angles to make labeling easier. Generally speaking, it would be a great thing to have the ability to curve text to a path, to rotate it, stretch it, etc. These would be killer features! Of course, with all the other stuff we have asked Scott to do, he has his hands full!

Regards, Scott Funny you should post this, Scott, I was about to send this to the list anyway, so now it's a reply to your message: Does MetaCard support COM? If so, how easy/difficult is it? I'm asking because the Valentina database comes in an XCMD format, which should work on the Mac (but I haven't tried it yet) and what they call a VCOM/ActiveX format. So, can you use the VCOM/ActiveX version of Valentina with MetaCard on the PC?
