Roger Woodsmall and
Mark Deric. Roger will be returning with his latest version of AutoManual. To jog everyone’s memory, Roger demonstrated his DOS product to LA Fox about 1-1/2 years ago. He now has a VFP product that
automatically
generates end-user documentation for any VFP application to a MS Word file. Mark Deric, of Laguna Group-ware, is the author of the HotLink interface which connects FoxPro to various commercially available Internet VVorkJ Wide Web servers. He will present the interface and discuss its operation in conjunction with the techniques used in coding a FoxPro-driven website. The websites used for the presentation will include the Laguna Groupware site
http://www.laguna1.com
the SoluMed Medical EquipNet site
http://www.solumed.com,
and the demo site included with the HotLink product. In addition, he will discuss some of the other FoxPro interfaces that are available on the market, highlighting the various approaches to the interface software architecture.
