Version 6.0 of Icetips SQL

 
After almost a year working on the Icetips SQL templates, we at Icetips Software are very proud to introduce a new version of our SQL templates, version 6.0. This version is compatible with both Clarion 5.5 and Clarion 6.0. The best way to get to know the new version is to download the 96 page users guide that comes with it and look through it, there are simply way too many changes to list here!
 
If you bought the templates from Andy Stapleton, or from us, and you want to upgrade, please drop us an email to arnor@icetips.com so we can verify your original purchase and update our customer registry:)

Icetips Xplore - New build

 
We have just made a new build of Icetips Xplore available for download. The main change is a fix to the filters that were broken in some versions of Clarion, but worked in others.  
We have sent out an email to all registered users of Xplore, but unfortunately many of the original customers have the wrong email address in our database. If you bought Xplore from Brian Staff and you have not got an email from us, please send us an email to arnor@icetips.com so we can update our customer registry.
 
INN Bio: Tim Gettig

 
Icetips is pleased to resume our bi-weekly bios of Clarion developers with a Clarionite who has lived a few places, including Tennessee, Florida, Ohio and even Panama! He talks about a project where he was programming blind, and how the abused code in Clarion templates helps him sleep at night. A first-time father after 21 years of marraige, he is also the first bio-ee to include an original poem!
