Commercial Scripts

There are a few commercial products written entirely with AppleScript or Frontier (and associated tools such as FaceSpan & Player).

MacSite Searcher by BlueWorld uses Frontier & FileMaker to provide a search engine for your website. The website includes a helpful comparison to alternative solutions.
SiteMarker by Rhythmic Sphere, Inc. works in conjunction with Netscape to allow users to manage a custom database of URLs. Features include: extract all links from a Web page, HTML export, a file format that makes it easy to re-distribute "catalogs", etc.

Stats Galore by Waves In Motion. You fill in a template to define your questions, they automagically build a FileMaker survey database with integrated analysis. A very professional product; it can often be found in the Claris booth at trade shows. Check out their new web version!

The first commercial product written entirely in an OSA scripting language was ProjectServer. It uses FileMaker Pro as a networked, multi-user front-end to MacProject, updating information on a nightly basis. Individual contributors can access and update the status of their portions of a project, eliminating manual data exchange. FileMaker Pro also tracks itemized information that is not available in MacProject. MacProject provides PERT and Gant milestones, critical path analysis, costs, etc.
