LEGO enthusiasts want modeling software on their Macs!
LEGO enthusiasts want modeling software on their Macs!
James Jessiman was the first to write a freeware LEGO modeling
application for DOS, called LDraw. Included with the application was
a library of common LEGO bricks modeled in 3D. To build virtual LEGO
models with LDraw, one by one, you picked a brick and then navigated
the brick using arrow keys. After making a model, you could use
LDraw to create a graphic image of the model.
Quite a community grew around this basic application and since then
more robust editors with mouse dragging controls and multiple angle
views have been written. Nearly all of the LEGO parts have been
modeled. POV-Ray converters were also written which made it easy to
create life-like LEGO model images. With these tools people with too
much fun-time have created fantastic models that would cost a fortune
in real LEGO bricks. Some have even created animations using these
tools (see: http://folk.uio.no/fredrigl/technic/space/download.html

P & L SOFTWARE LTD ANNOUNCES FILEMONITOR 4.0.5 FOR MAC OS X AND MAC OS X
SERVER
AMERSHAM, January 5th 2001 -- P & L Software Ltd today announced the
release of an update to FileMonitor, the essential System Awareness tool.
FileMonitor now supports printing, has undergone some UI improvements and
has fixed a bug with anomalous behaviour if you didn't specify a name for
the file to be monitored.
FileMonitor is a Freeware utility that allows you to monitor any number of
selected files for changes. For example, if you want to be alerted when
error messages are sent to /tmp/console.log or indeed to any other file or
folder you're interested in, FileMonitor will bring up a window showing new
input when it arrives. This can be particularly useful for system
administrators and software developers interested in process output or
debugging information.
