Coming Soon…I Hope, Depends on how much spare time I have :)

 

 

                        Some specs:

                                    Database                              : 1. Firebird SQL Embedded, Supports; Views, Stored Procedures, Triggers, Transaction support etc…

                                    Main Application                 : Written in Clarion Prof. V7.1 and Visual C++

 

                                    Install needed                      : Minimal, only install a (small) FireBird Database driver once.

To be added (by my friend and MPC forum member Couperus) a Delphi DLL for automatic retrieval of Movie Info from the Internet.

The intention is to use the “Ant Movie Catalog” Scripting Module for IDune.

Special thanks to Antoine Potten for creating “Ant Movie Catalog” and allowing us to use the source for the Scripting Module!

Screen layout could be something like this:
