Another lovely one. UNfortunately, my "Wildcatt" is still not re-installed. I
wonder how closely Blue Twinkle is related to Blue Sparkle? On Fri, 8 Dec 2006 22:03:36 -0800, "wendy7" wrote: Den. Blue Twinkle 'S&W' Another reliable bloomer.

Reka, out of curiosity:
Have you seen Wildcatt? How does Orchid Wiz compare with it for user interface, range of information & presentation, comprehensiveness of content, updates & recency? What source does it use? Where do you get it? How much? TIA On Mon, 11 Dec 2006 08:09:58 +0100, Reka wrote: wendy7 wrote: Thanks Reka, Do you have Wildcatt too? Morning, Wendy! No, I have Orchid Wiz.

I was one of the original subscribers to WildCatt, and thought it was one of
the most useful programs out there, and still think the Grays are owed a huge debt of thanks for coming up with it. When Alex came out with OrchidWiz, I was a bit skeptical, but have learned to really appreciate its simplicity and functionality. Surprising to me was the fact that - even though I had a more-or-less "standing order" for Wildcatt updates - I have not received a single email from them since OW came on the market. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies.

You can order it and look at screenshots and specs he http://www.orchidwiz.com/servlet/StoreFront Alex, who wrote the program, is very helpful if you have any problems and happy for suggestions and photo contributions.

What source does it use? Where do you get it? How much? TIA Both are based on RHS information and the AOS Awards Quarterly. Orchid Wiz is very photo based. Wildcatt is a text based program. Orchid Wiz was born out of the frustration built when the AOS's own program promising pix of award plants kept being stalled. There were some issues with copywrites when it originally came on the market. They seem to have been settled. WildCatt does the tree chart of a plant's lineage. It will also do the pie chart of the species that you see on Orchid Wiz's page. It will research by generations the prodigy of any particular plant. It lists only plants that have at sometime been awarded or are in the background of awarded hybrids. It is has the full text of the AQ's listing for all awards. It has hybridizer information on all the plants. Orchid Wiz has photos, but of examples of the hybrids or species. None are the award photos from AOS. It has a more modern database engine. E-AOS is the "Official Electronic Awards Quarterly" research program of the AOS. It is not being updated as fast as it should be. It has install issues due to worries about copywrite. The advantage either Orchid Wiz or E-AOS should have is that they put in all the changes in species as awarded and linked to the new names. In Wildcatt Helga changed all the Oncidiums when the 'book' of approved changes came out. But when species change - they do not link back to the original name. -- just my 2 cent view.

One of the biggest "pluses" I see with OW is the awards report. If you are
looking for comparative data, it can create a PDF of all awards for a given grex, giving you a single document with all of the stats. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies.

Surprising to me was the fact that - even though I had a more-or-less "standing order" for Wildcatt updates - I have not received a single email from them since OW came on the market. How do OW and WC compare for integration with other software? (IE automatically doing a set of queries with each new dataset to see if a cross has a name registered for it. Or flag typos when adding a plant to a personal tracking system. Or flag when an existing plant has had its genus changed by the taxonomists Or having a query go to this database as well as a non-orchid database. Or making the information available via SMS when I'm out buying plants). And how do they compare on licenses for disseminating specific pieces of information contained within them? (IE, If I were to divide my sharry baby and sell it and wanted to include the culture sheet from OW or WC, what sort of a royalties would be desired. And whether or not terms would change for single sale vs. many sales). I found OW advertising interesting from a reference viewpoint. However, I found the advertised product lacking from a integration viewpoint. Alex appeared afraid to discuss his product from an integration view point. He seemed afraid, and rightfully so, that someone would dump all of his data and do another product based on his data. Anyhoo, I'd appreciate opinions from folks that use either product and craft their own SQL, or kludge flatfile freeform databases for other information. -- Chris Dukes elfick willg: you can't use dell to beat people, it wouldn't stand up to the strain... much like attacking a tank with a wiffle bat |
