Turn Your Old Mac into a FileMaker Robot

From Waves in Motion, dust off your old computers and get them busy automating long and tedious tasks with the help of the oAzium Events Plug-In. This white paper will show how, in just a few minutes, an old computer can be recycled into a helpful assistant. Basically, freeing you of the task and getting the robot to do it every few minutes, once a day, or weekly. The download includes the file "Automation.fp5" to help you to build and maintain FileMaker Robots. It also provides ready to use support for up to three robots, and can easily be extended to support even more.
