Westciv releases Style Master 4.5 for Mac OS X and Windows
Bondi Beach Australia July 6 2006
http://westciv.com/style_master/index.html
When CSS Editor Style Master was first released in 1998, Cascading Style
Sheets were barely a blip on the web development radar. There was no such
thing as a standards based browser, table based designs and the "font tag"
were state of the art in web development, while accessibility was something
barely heard of.
Eight years on, CSS has been embraced by the masses, with even "hobbyist"
web developers whipping up style sheets for their blogs and wedding
websites, while the biggest sites in business and government have also
embraced CSS as the way to style the web. All the while, Style Master, the
longest standing, leading cross platform CSS editor has stayed the course
with developers, and with CSS.
Now westciv announces the release of Style Master 4.5, the CSS editing tool
for professionals, students and dabblers alike.

Amsterdam, NL June 26, 2006 -- AppZapper.com announces the release of
AppZapper 1.6 for Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
AppZapper allows you to confidently uninstall virtually any application,
widget, preference pane and plugin as easily as it was installed -- just
drag and drop. AppZapper intelligently finds leftover support files and
allows users to put them in the trash with a single click.
Mac OS X lets you install most applications with a simple drag to the
applications folder. Many people decide they don't want an application and
drag it to the trash. However, this does not remove the extra preferences,
caches, and other support files generated during launch -- files that can

helps clean up these leftover files, files that 99% of Mac users don't even
know exist.
AppZapper 1.6 introduces Sparkle based updating for easily downloading and
installing updates right within the app. Staying up to date with the latest...
