SANTA MONICA, CA - February 13, 2001 - Users of FileMaker Pro® database products who create scripts will enjoy significant benefits from the Brushfire™ 1.5 from Chaparral Software. Available now, Brushfire 1.5 provides a rich set of tools to help intermediate and advanced FileMaker Pro users, developers and DBAs quickly and conveniently debug, clean-up, document and maintain the scripts of their FileMaker Pro-based solutions.

Brushfire 1.5 adds the ability to search across all script steps and files of a solution, allowing users to locate field names, literal text, script commands or comments. Brushfire 1.5 also adds limited support for solutions with more than 50 files, and nearly a dozen new and improved specialized analysis reports such as platform specific scripts, SQL code, and script lines with layout dependencies.

"Using Brushfire, an intermediate or advanced FileMaker Pro user will be able to handle more complicated solutions. Professional developers will reduce development and support costs by delivering maintainable, higher quality code in less time", according to Chaparral president Russell Kohn. "Only Brushfire provides complete script dependency tracing, easy and rapid access to complete script listings, and the ability to audit, for example, where every Delete, Halt, Execute SQL, and Mac or PC specific statement occurs."

Brushfire 1.5 retains the blazing fast performance of prior versions, and remains the fastest and most comprehensive tool available for analyzing FileMaker Pro Scripts.
