Re: COMP: Iris dbase

Hmmm, If it is a Filemaker program, why would it not work on a Mac? I use Mike Lowe's Filemaker Pro Registration database all the time to load the irisregister.com database.

It is working fine for me. After Winzip open it I had to extract it to a location. I then made a short cut to put it on the desk top. I did this with the file that has the blue and yellow Filemaker Icon. This is the file that opens Irises 2.4. Janet isn't it a run time program? I believe you just open it to use it as there is no typical instillation like most programs.

I like the new location fields and a place for parents including photos of them. I have not made any entries yet. Maybe I will understand the numbering system when I do.

You need to add MTB's Miniature Tall Bearded next time.
Laevigatia would go under Species.
I like the improvements.

Please note that this is a PC version only for the moment. I hope in the new
year to acquire a mac box. Also you must you something like winzip or the
like to extract it. Please note it is a large file, so if you are on dial-up
there is a chance that it can get mangled during download. (I used to work
for an ISP and on dial-up lots of stuff gets mangled).
I've got a mac screen/keyboards/mouse, but my drive is so old that it's
next to unusable. I know the boxes out there are less expensive but in the
new year, I'm rearraging many things and one of the parts things I wish to
acquire is one of the mac boxes.
You're more than welcome to write me directly with any of the error
messages if you cannot open the file as I would be able to troubleshoot.
Generally I see a couple blips along the way - it's just a matter of
figuring out the hardware and software and how its configurred. I haven't
run into too anyone that has't been able to run in on a PC.
