Metafy Updates Anthracite With AppleScript Support

by , 12:00 PM EDT, July 9th, 2004

Metafy LLC has released an update for Anthracite, bringing it to version 1.0.6. Anthracite is a utility designed for Web based data mining. The update features AppleScript support and improved encoding. According to Metafy LLC:

Anthracite updated to 1.0.6.

Anthracite is the ultimate collection of Web mining power tools combined in an easy-to-use graphical environment that lets you quickly and seamlessly extract data from Internet sources, modify it to suit your needs, and export it to templates or databases as part of your daily workflow.

New features include:

  • Version 1.0.6 introduces AppleScript "run" support, so that Anthracite Web Mining processes can be run from AppleScript control, such as scheduled in an iCal event
  • Macintosh Consultants can now join Metafy's Affiliate Sales Program and earn 25% of the sale of the software to their clients and customers
  • Additional changes include better handling of encodings in large documents, an added feedback menu, Unicode/UTF-8/ASCII handling for UNIX Commands, and added URL Generator "Small Business Database" Example to online documentation

You can find more information about the Anthracite update at the Metafy LLC Web site. Anthracite is available for US$99.00.
