24U SimpleTalk

24U SimpleTalk Plug-In is a communication plug-in for FileMaker Pro that allows FileMaker Pro to communicate with user, another FileMaker Pro, and other applications via TCP/IP. You can simply trigger scripts or evaluate calculations in remote FileMaker Pro clients, or seamlessly integrate FileMaker Pro with other TCP/IP capable applications, such as those created with Real Basic or Runtime Revolution. You can even also connect to and control your FileMaker solution via Telnet!

• Act as server, waiting for a TCP/IP connection from a client app/computer
• Run a script on demand from the client app/computer
• Evaluate a calculation on demand from the client app/computer
• Perform custom commands/actions depending on received data
• Act as client - connect to a server, send commands, wait for responses
• Talk to another instance of itself via TCP/IP
• Let users connect via Telnet and run a script or evaluate a calc

• Runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel based Macs
• Works with FileMaker 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5
• Opening/closing of a connection and data arrival can be handled separately
• Behaviour of default values improved
• Connection and server identifiers are now unique
• Handlers are not triggered unexpectedly during connection
• Data handler does not start before the previous data handler ends
• If client receives an empty line (just a terminator) all works correctly now
• Received data are not lost when the other side closes the connection
• Terminator in function STalk_Send can be overriden now
• Sending and receiving data now works as expected with all supported encodings
