WebMerge 2.4.2, now a Universal Binary

LOS ANGELES, California - 29 January, 2007 Fourth World today released 4W WebMerge 2.4.2, an update to its popular tool for Mac OS and Windows that generates static Web pages from database or spreadsheet data. The new Mac version is now available in Universal Binary format for native performance on new Intel-based Macs as well as older PowerPC models.

WebMerge works with any database or spreadsheet that exports in tab-delimited, merge, or other tabular formats, including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access, and most affiliate data feeds. Using simple tags in templates created with any HTML authoring tool, WebMerge makes a new page from the data in each record of the exported file. WebMerge can also create index pages with links to each of the detail pages. Generated pages can be hosted on any Web server without the need for a specialized database hosting solution.

"Apple's new Intel-based Macs are blazing fast, and we're very happy to take full advantage of their performance with this new Universal Binary version of WebMerge," said Richard Gaskin, president of Fourth World Media Corporation. "Our testers reported reported native performance several times faster than previous versions, and considering how much fan mail older versions have had about its speed we're very happy with this update."

WebMerge 2.4.2 is available in a free download at the publisher's Web site: http://www.fourthworld.com/products/webmerge/.

WebMerge can be used for free to generate up to 20 pages and has all features enabled with no time limit. Registered copies of WebMerge have no limit on the number of pages that can be generated.

A single-user license costs US$99, with discounts available for multi-license purchases. Registered users of earlier versions get this upgrade at no charge.

WebMerge requires Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/XP or Mac OS X 10.2 or later, 64 MB total system memory, and 9 MB disk space.
