360Works Updates

360Works, a leading FileMaker product developer and innovator, has announced the release of updated versions of their entire product line for compatibility with the latest version of Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, which was also released today. The newest versions of the 360Works suite of tools can be downloaded from the company's website. These updates are free to current users, and demo versions are available to everybody.

Jesse Barnum of 360Works says, "I've been very impressed with the pre-release versions of Snow Leopard, and I know that our customers will be eager to upgrade too. That's why we've been working hard on updates to all of our products to make sure we'd be ready the same day Apple released its new operating system. We're proud of our track record in keeping our products up-to-date and functional with each new platform update - whether Windows, OS X or FileMaker Pro. Timely releases of new product versions mean smooth upgrades for all of our customers."
