WindowScraper is a Trademark of Hampton Data Inc. WindowScraper is Copyright 1995 of Hampton Data. Windows is a Trademark of Microsoft Corporation, 1983-1995 Introduction ============= Hamton Data is proud to announce it's first commercial product, WindowScaper. WindowScraper is an OLE 2 Automation enabled terminal emulator. It was designed AS a Screen scraper, and NOT a fully featured terminal emulator. However, it does support most of the standard features found in most terminal emulators today. WindowScraper enables a developer to quickly and easily develop Microsoft Windows graphical interfaces to character based applications which are running on a remote host. Regardless of what host your character applications runs on, VAX, MVS, Unix, any remote host which is capable of a host connection using serial, TCP/IP or Netware can now have a graphical front end. This tool will enable IS departments, and software companies to extend the life of their character based applications. To use WindowScraper over a network, you must install COMT. COMt must be purchased, and downloaded separately. Since WindowScraper uses the OLE 2 deFacto standard, the developer doesn't have to learn complicated HLLAPI's and a whole new library. A developer can use whatever development system he or she prefers in the Windows environment. WindowScraper works with: Visual Basic, Visual C++, PowerBuilder, MS-Excel, MS-Access, MS-Word, and any other development system, or application capable of being an OLE Automation controller (client). Developers now can also use a POWERFUL scripting language to handle difficult macros. Since WindowScraper can be controlled by Visual Basic, a developer can use Visual Basic or VBA as the terminal emulation scripting language. WindowScraper is an ideal solution for corporate application developers who wish to add client/sever/GUI capability to their host applications. Competing products charge as much as $300 to $1000 dollars for their products, WindowScraper is being offered as a low introductory cost of only $39.95. After the introduction sale is over, the price will go up.
