eMail Verifier-X v1.0
Max Programming, LLC - eMail Verifier-X v1.0
May, 13 2002 -- Maxprog is proud to present its new product, eMail
Verifier, the very first tool available on the Macintosh platform for batch
e-mail validity checking. (Mac OS X only)
Overview
If your database contains incorrect e-mail addresses, this disadvantages
you in two ways. First, you have to put up with annoying 'undeliverable'
messages. And second, you lose the ability to communicate by e-mail with
your contacts. Email Verifier checks the validity of your e-mail addresses
without actually sending e-mails. You can use the list of failed addresses
to build a list for a 'please update' campaign.
Email Verifier is a very effective piece of software that can verify over
10 e-mails per second . It can verify single e-mails or huge lists. (eMail
Verifier is multithreaded, providing high speed verifying)
eMail Verifier works on the same algorithm as ISP mail systems do.
Addresses for e-mail are extracted from a Domain Naming Server (DNS...

BugSpray for Mac OS X
For Immediate Release
Barry Software Releases Public Alpha of BugSpray for Mac OS X
May 9, 2002: Barry Software announces the immediate availability of a
public alpha of BugSpray, the new automated debugging tool for Carbon Mac
OS X developers.
WHAT IS BUGSPRAY?
BugSpray is an automated debugging tool - instead of waiting for your
program to crash, BugSpray closely monitors the executable code and catches
problems at the exact point they occur - rather than at the point that the
computer crashes - which can be completely unrelated.
BugSpray specializes in the hard to find memory errors, involving
out-of-bounds memory accesses, accessing stale memory blocks - the sorts of
errors that can take weeks to nail down, or only appear in non-easily
reproducible situations (e.g. during a demo to your most important client).
While the memory protection of Mac OS X is great for catching NULL pointers
and those uninitialized pointers that allowed you to crash other programs
(or the OS), it still...
ResPloder 1.6
The La Jolla Underground is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of ResPloder 1.6.
ResPloder explodes the resources of a file into folders. The resource types
become folders and the resources become files that can be edited with any
hex editor. Some resource types are automatically saved in popular file
formats. The data fork of the original file is also preserved.
ResPloder can implode a ResPloded folder back into a file. Drop a ResPloded
folder onto ResPloder and a new file with exactly the same structure as the
original file will be created. If any of the resource files in the
ResPloded folder have been modified, then the changes will become part of
the new file.
New features include:
* Scriptability: ResPloder understands the verbs "explode" and "implode".
* Better handling of resource types with special characters.
* Ability to set default file types and creators for exploded files.
* Window menu.
ResPloder is free and can be found at: http://ljug.com/sw/resploder.html...

The Omni Group ships OmniObjectMeter
Mac OS X Developers The Omni Group Ship Memory Management Tool,
OmniObjectMeter 2.0
Offers OS X application developers a solution to common programming problems
Seattle, Washington -- May 6, 2002 -- The Omni Group, developers of Mac OS
X applications and game ports, announce OmniObjectMeter 2.0, a tool aimed
at Cocoa developers that provides an easy way to track and solve common
memory management coding mistakes.
Developers need to be certain that memory is not being used by objects that
no longer need it. After an object has served its function, it should be
disposed of or its memory will be "leaked". When an object is not correctly
detached from the application, or "de-allocated", memory space is wasted
and the application can become slow or crash.
OmniObjectMeter offers an effective way to seek out these memory leaks,
multiply deallocated objects, and improve an application's performance.
Rather than searching through thousands of objects in a system, developers
can use ObjectMeter...

SOAP Toolkit 1.0a1 for REALbasic
Mike Murry is pleased to announce the initial release of the SOAP Toolkit.
This set of custom classes allows a REALbasic developer to include a SOAP
client in their REALbasic projects. At this time only the client version is
included. Future versions will contain a class to construct a SOAP server.
Eventually, support for the complete SOAP specification will be implemented.
This version is based on the Busy Developers Guide for SOAP
(http://www.soapware.org/bdg).
SOAP Toolkit can be downloaded from (http://www.mikemurry.com/software/).

REALdocbuilder 1.0a1
Mike Murry is pleased to announce the release of his first REALbasic built
application. REALdocbuilder is a utility for REALbasic developers that
makes it easy to generate HTML documentation for your custom classes.
Just load a XML file of your project into REALdocbuilder, drag and drop all
the methods, events, properties, and constants you want to document, and
fill in the description for each one. When you're all done, build the HTML
file and you're documentation is generated for you.
REALdocbuilder can be downloaded from (http://www.mikemurry.com/software/).
I started building this application with a very narrow view of what I
wanted it to do. I wanted an easy way to build documentation for a class I
was building. As I got further into writing it, however, I thought of a lot
of ways to make it do more. With that being said, I consider this
application to be incomplete. It works but I have a vision of it that is
much better than its current form. I'm also not very happy with the...

Staz Software Welcomes Metalbasic Users
STAZ SOFTWARE WELCOMES METALBASIC USERS
WHY?
STAZ Software, Inc., developer of FutureBASIC, has long looked on
MetalBasic with interest and goodwill [see
(http://www.stazsoftware.com/staz/index.php?ref=20010700_000001)]. Andy
Gariepy, the driving force behind FutureBASIC for over a decade, had this
to say: "I've always worked hard to improve FutureBASIC. It's easy to
understand Marin Saric's determination to make the most of MetalBasic."
Still, there has been concern among MetalBasic coders as to Mac OS X
support and the continued development of the environment.
FutureBASIC is one of the few programming environments to have crossed the
great divide from 68K to PPC and now to Carbon. The people at STAZ Software
understand the need to stand-by users, but also how difficult these changes
can be.
WHAT?
There seems to be a consensus that from the editing and programming
perspectives, [as well as the fierce determination to be the best :-) ],
FutureBASIC and MetalBasic have a lot in common...
ResPloder 1.0
The La Jolla Underground is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of ResPloder 1.0. ResPloder explodes the resources of a
file into folders. These folders are named after the types they came
from. Inside each folder are files containing the data for each
resource of that type. These files are simple binary files and can be
edited with any hex editor. The data fork of the original file is
preserved as a file called data.frk and it can also be edited.
ResPloder can implode a ResPloded folder back into a file. Drop a
ResPloder-created folder onto ResPloder and a new file with exactly
the same structure as the original file will be created. If any of
the resource files in the ResPloded folder have been modified, then
the changes will become part of the new file.
ResPloder is made with REALbasic.
ResPloder can be found at: http://ljug.com/sw/resploder.html.

acgi dispatcher for Mac OS X
"James Sentman announces the release of acgi dispatcher 1.0 for Mac OS X."
Richmond, VA - April 19th, 2002. Acgi dispatcher allows you to write cgi
programs in AppleScript that can be run with the Apache web server that is
built in to Mac OS X.
This has been a much used feature of the classic Mac OS for many years. By
giving us Apache as the new personal web sharing Apple gave us an
enterprise level server, but took away the ability to code for it in Apple
Script. Acgi dispatcher provides an easy to configure interface between the
unix layer and Apple Script.
In addition to providing the "on handle cgi request" handler for regular
acgi Apple Scripts, acgi dispatcher also supports applications that need to
be called via the "Launch At Suffix" mapping which is used by
pre-processors. Acgi dispatcher will happily send these events to programs
running either as Mac OS X applications or applications running in the
classic environment. Applications running multi-threaded via the "send...

Big Nerd Ranch Launches Extreme Mentoring On-Site Training
Big Nerd Ranch Launches Extreme Mentoring On-Site Training
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA - April 17, 2002 - The Big Nerd Ranch Announces its New Extreme
Mentoring On-Site Training Program.
Big Nerd Ranch is now offering Cocoa training and Extreme Mentoring to
organizations seeking on-site classes for their future Cocoa development
teams. One week of intensive on-site training is followed by one week of
on-site mentoring when your team is ready to begin development.
Traditional training provides the knowledge your team needs in order to
build applications in OS X. Building applications brings up new questions,
and practical experience introduces problems that couldn't have been
predicted during class. As with all learning, material that isn't
immediately used is often forgotten. Extreme Mentoring reintroduces you to
what you've forgotten, and allows your team to move forward quickly and
efficiently.
When your organization schedules a week of Big Nerd Ranch training, Aaron
