A new version of our free FileMaker plug-in is now available. You can download the latest version at http://www.beezwax.net/download/bbox

This version sports the following improvements:

• bBox_AppleScript now uses UTF-16 (2 byte characters) where possible
• bBox_DoShell has improved handling of UTF-8 characters, faster processing of large amount of text
• bBox_PasteboardGet has improved handling of encoding issues, and a new UTF-16 mode
• bBox_DoScript function can now pass a text parameter to the script being called

Today we are making bBox, our toolbox of external functions for FileMaker, freely available to all FileMaker developers. Use it to extend the reach of your FileMaker solutions to resources outside of FileMaker by launching and communicating with other programs, utilizing the powerful commands built-in to Mac OS X, and easily creating, processing, and managing files.
