Monkeybread Software Plugin in version 2.6 beta for REALbasic

Monkeybread Software Plugin in version 2.6 beta for REALbasic

Hi,

Mac OS X 10.2 arrived today and so I'm proud to announce the
availability of the MBS Plugin in version 2.6 beta. Yes, Mac OS X 10.2
is just released and we still need some time to verify that everything
works, but everyone is welcome to try the new stuff.

You can find the software and the online documentation on our website
at:

Attached to this email the release notes.

PS: If you have a problem with the plugin, please send an email. Thanks.
