texte = As a developer on the Mac platform, I believe a reality check isappropriate. The reason I choose WebCommerce-the full version-was two-fold.First-price. WebCatalog has an excellent price and I know because myresearch assistant and I researched performance/flexibility and price fortwo months before deciding on WebCatalog.Second-flexibility. With a little creativity, you can not only addressconcerns regarding multiple databases within one database-categoricalskus-but you can also deliver constantly updatable content from an onlineinterface as well as making WebCatalog accessible from multiple WebServers.ButlerSQL is a great program. It is also more expensive (over two grandwith Tango, the HTML interface builder), requires a huge investment inlearning a database language (at least for what we want to do), and isslow.4D is also a great program, but once again there is a price differnce, alanguage investment, and anytime you access an external program, it's goingto be slower.There's also the fact that for prime operation, it is suggested you linktwo macs together, one a file server, the other a webserver.Macs in general have a signifigant system overhead (not compared tomswindows 95, or chicago, or 97, etc.), so anytime you can get a programthat runs as fast as webcatalog, you've got a good thing.SSL has already been addressed, so I wont bother, but I believe it'simportant to realize that, with all the great things that are coming up,when you buy webcatalog, you are buying a product that is designed to runfast, be easy to set up, and provide a maximum amount of flexibility whilestill maintaining low system overhead. It does that. Further, it does itfor a good price (PERL is always available and is in the public domain, sothere are feebies out there).Lastly, I believe it is also important to remember our e-mail manners.Flaming is rude, particularly when what you really want is assistance andan explanation, not implied or inferred annoyance.
