Typhoon is a very powerful piece of software for only $99, but it is also very old, very limited, and not nearly as powerful or flexible as Typhoon Pro or WebCatalog ... >Don't worry. Typhoon and WebCatalog are the same application (just a different serial number). So you can use WebCatalog 3.04 with a Typhoon serial number and the commerce/multidatabase functions are turned off. We haven't updated the Typhoon package. I hope this helps. This is just plain WRONG John, how can you tell people this?For those who needs the facts, it is Typhoon Pro -- not Typhoon -- that has the same code base as webcatalog 3.x. Typhoon Pro and Typhoon are two very different products, and John seems to be mixing them up. Here is a simple outline of their differences:Typhoon - $99 (shareware item) single database, no commands, no eCommerceTyphoon Pro - $495 (invisible product) multi-database, no commands, no eCommerceNow compare the above items with WebCatalog:WebCatalog - $2495 (commercial product) multi-database, has commands, does eCommerce Message to SmithMicro:1- Please consider renaming Typhoon Pro to something less confusing, such as WebCatalogLite. Too many people do not understand the difference between Typhoon and Typhoon Pro, and apparently this includes people in your own firm who ought to know better.2- In case you haven't noticed by now, it is impossible to learn anything about Typhoon Pro from your website. It is still an INVISIBLE PRODUCT that does not appear in your online store. Why not? Don't you think your online store should includes ALL your software products?3- Your website could be improved a great deal by the simple addition of some useful information that clarifies the similarities and differences in your software products. My description above would be a good start ...================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499, http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
