Cross Culture Ships Mergemill 3.9
Upgrade Delivers New Lookup Extension, Online XML Access, and Various Improvements
HONG KONG -- February 16, 2005 -- Cross Culture Limited today
announced the immediate release of Mergemill 3.9. This upgrade
delivers several important new and improved features.
Lookup
Most database users keep data in a set of related tables for many
good reasons. An items table may be related to a products table,
or an invoice table related to customer details. Mergemill 3.9
fits the way users manage their information. To generate web pages
from a relational database, a user simply exports the content
and lookup tables into separate files, and includes the new Lookup
Extension in Mergemill tags wherever appropriate in the templates.
Accessing Online XML Documents
Mergemill supports XML documents as source files since Dec. 2003.
Version 3.9 takes this one step further by allowing users to specify
URLs for external source files. This improvement opens the door
to collaborative web publishing.
Other Improvements
An important improvement is that Mergemill 3.9 does not generate
files with no dynamic content. This is particularly helpful where
users have no control on the availability of online source XML
documents.
About Mergemill
Mergemill is a versatile website development and database tool.
It serves well in multiple parts of the web publishing workflow,
especially when users need to web publish text-based contents.
It may be used to quickly create thousands of static web pages
from simple text files, spreadsheets or databases, to be published
on the web or CD-ROM. Users can easily set up FTP accounts, and
instruct Mergemill to automatically upload generated web pages
to specified server directories. Source contents may come from
any text editor, FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access, 4th Dimension,
Microsoft Excel, AppleWorks, or any database that can export data
in XML, Merge or tab-separated text format.
Free web templates provided with Mergemill enable anyone to easily
become a web publisher. Mergemill's rich set of tags for content
and date insertion as well as branching and looping control also
enable professional website builders or web developers to easily
create static web databases.
System Requirements, Pricing and Availability
Mergemill 3.9 supports any PC running Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000,
XP, and Server 2003. On the Mac it requires at least OS 9.22 or
OSX 10.2.8. Its graphics processing features require Apple QuickTime.
Customers can purchase Mergemill from the company's website (www.crossculture.com.hk)
for USD 99 with the single user license. The upgrade is free for
registered users of earlier versions.
Cross Culture Limited provides high-quality database solutions
since 1995, and is committed to bringing the best software tools
to users around the world.
