24U SimpleTalk is a communication plug-in designed for FileMaker Pro that enables users to easily establish communication between their FileMaker solutions and other software applications.
As far as its features go, 24U SimpleTalk has a variety of options to cater to any FileMaker needs. It can act as both a server - waiting for a TCP/IP connection from a client app/computer - and a client - connecting to a server, sending commands and waiting for responses. It's also capable of running scripts or calculating evaluations on demand from the client computer, as well as handling custom commands and actions depending on received data.
Moreover, it's even possible to talk to another instance of the software via TCP/IP and connect to and control your FileMaker solution via Telnet - making it a versatile and powerful tool for any FileMaker user.
If you're curious about the latest upgrade, this release runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, works with FileMaker 7.0, 8.0, and 8.5, and has improved the behavior of default values, connection, and server identifiers. Additionally, handlers won't trigger unexpectedly, and data handlers won't start before the previous one ends. Plus, sending and receiving data now works as expected with all supported encodings, and the software can even override the terminator in function STalk_Send.
Overall, 24U SimpleTalk is a great option for FileMaker Pro users looking for TCP/IP capabilities and want a versatile and powerful tool in their arsenal. It requires FileMaker Pro 7.0v1 or later, but its abilities make it more than worth the investment.
