Fourth World (http://www.fourthworld.com/) has released WebMerge 2.5,
an upgrade to the tool for generating static Web pages from database
or spreadsheet data. The new version offers more options for creating
and naming generated pages, and includes performance and interface
enhancements for Mac OS 10.5 (“Leopard”)
WebMerge works with any database or spreadsheet that exports in
tab-delimited, merge, or other tabular formats, including FileMaker
Pro, Microsoft Access, and most affiliate data feeds. Using simple
tags in templates created with any HTML authoring tool, WebMerge
makes a new 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.
A trial version of 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 can generate up to several hundred thousands pages
or more, depending on available memory.
A single-user license sells for US$99. with discounts are also
available for multi-license purchases. WebMerge runs on Windows
systems from Windows 98 through XP and Vista, Mac OS X 10.2 or later,
and most modern Linux systems.
