iTunes playback on other Macs.
With Ovolab RemoteTunes, users can play songs on any Mac they are
authorized to log in to - whether on the local network or on the Internet -
and the audio will play from the remote computer's speakers.
As opposed to other software which offers similar functionality, Ovolab

Macintosh. "You can also create and edit playlists as well as music tags,"
says Alberto Araoz, author of Ovolab RemoteTunes, "in addition to having
full control over playback on the remote computer."
Introduced today at Apple Expo Paris 2003, Ovolab RemoteTunes is available

released version 1.2 of Ovolab AAChoo(tm), its full-featured AAC audio
converter.

AAChoo, which sports a simple drag-and-drop interface and complete control
over every encoding parameter.

encoding, since it compresses to very small files (0.5 to 1.5 KB/sec)
without compromising quality.

Automated re-coding of assembly language in C
Automated re-coding of assembly language in C
MicroAPL Ltd, creators of the well-known PortAsm assembly-language
translation tool, today announced the launch of Relogix, an advanced new
software conversion tool which can take assembly-language source files and
automatically re-code them in readable, maintainable C, complete with
meaningful variable names and types.
Unlike most other attempts at automatic conversion from assembler to C,
Relogix produces results close to what a skilled human programmer would
produce if asked to re-write an assembler source file in C. Relogix
achieves this by:
- Reorganizing the program flow to use natural C constructs such as 'if',
'for' and 'case' statements, usually without recourse to 'goto'. Even
'spaghetti' code comes out as well-structured C source.
- Automatically deducing function prototypes in a natural C style.
Parameters originally passed to assembler subroutines either in registers
or on the stack become parameters to the corresponding C...
SpamSieve 2.0
SpamSieve 2.0 is now available.
SpamSieve gives you back your inbox by bringing powerful Bayesian spam
filtering to popular e-mail clients. It learns what your spam looks
like, so it can block nearly all of it. It looks at your address book
and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse
them with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers
adapt to their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you
train it with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any
messages--it only marks them in your e-mail client--so
you'll never lose any mail. SpamSieve works with any number of
mail accounts, of whatever types are supported by your e-mail software
(e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL).
New in this Version:
* SpamSieve now extracts a lot more information from each message.
This makes it much more accurate and also makes it learn faster.
* Now integrates with Eudora 6 (Sponsored or Paid) via a plug-in. It
can now process every incoming Eudora...

SM2DGraphView 1.1 Open Source Framework
Snowmint Creative Solutions LLC has released v1.1 of the SM2DGraphView
open source framework for Cocoa development on MacOS X. The framework
with complete documentation is available at
(http://developer.snowmintcs.com/)
Version 1.1 updates:
- adds a "don't antialias" line style
- adds accessors to change the color of the border
- adds a datasource method to return a line of points as a simple
NSData object
- includes a minor performance enhancement due to using Quartz 2D
directly instead of NSBezierPath for data line drawing
- fixes a couple minor drawing bugs
This framework provides an NSView subclass which draws a graph of lines
and/or bars including axis labels. The SM2DGraphView class acts very
much like an NSTableView or NSBrowser; SM2DGraphView takes
responsibility for all of the drawing code but relies on a data source
object to provide the specific lines and points to draw. A delegate
object can also be assigned to a graph object to modify the behavior of
the graph view.
