Soundex 1.0
WHAT IS SOUNDEX?
Soundex is a system that was developed by the United States government to
aid in searching their vast databases of people. It allows searching by how
a name sounds rather than how it is spelled.
For example: Imagine a telephone operator listening to someone pronouncing
their last name. Wouldn't it be nice if they could find the person in their
database by how it sounds so they don't have to ask them to spell it out?
The soundex system achieves this by converting a last name into a 4
character identification string.
For example: My last name is Ronge but after people here me pronounce it
they think it is "Runge". Using the soundex system as far as the computer is
concerned "Ronge" and "Runge" are the same.
WHAT DOES THIS MODULE DO?
The REALbasic module contains a 3 useful methods: convertToSoundex,
exactSoundexComparision and soundexComparision.
convertToSoundex - Converts the name to soundex so you can store it

If you are an Internet merchant, when your website is down, you are out of
business. 247 Sitewatch http://www.247sitewatch.com announces a unique new
weapon in the war against long duration downtime: "We'll check your website

week! Viruses, denial of service attacks and Internet worms can increase
downtime to days at a time. Hosting services may not tell their customers
that they are out of business. Many webmasters report that they didn't know
there was a problem until orders stopped coming.

it," says Michael Green, President of Pace Publications,
247sitewatch.come's parent company. "Our sites kept going down and unless
one of our customers took pity on us and called or emailed to tell us, we

APStripFiles for Mac OS X
Appligent, Inc. is happy to offer this new utility completely free of charge.
APStripFiles for Mac OS X
APStripFiles is a command line application that removes attached or
embedded files from PDF documents. It enables you to protect your systems
from malicious unwanted PDF file attachments.
Recent events, such as the Code Red Worm virus, have required the industry
to rethink the safety of daily information transfer. One of the mechanisms
which has come under scrutiny has been the accepted standard for document
exchange, the PDF, or Portable Document Format file. While this format is
virtually immune to viruses, Adobe Acrobat does allow the attachment of
files to PDFs. This feature, if misused, allows system vulnerability. Using
our high-performance technology, we produced a utility which will
automatically strip any attachments from PDFs without damage to the PDF
itself.
APStripFiles offers you the option to remove the files from the original
PDF document or make a copy of the PDF...

Catchy Software Announces Quitling for Mac OS X
Goteborg, Sweden - July 25, 2001 - Catchy Software today announced
Quitling; the Dockling that strikes fear into any misbehaving Mac OS X
applications. With Quitling, you can instantly quit or force quit any
application or process, with or without its consent. Use it to terminate
crashed applications, applications you launch by mistake or applications
that simply have a bad attitude and could use a reprimand.
If you find it tiresome to manually quit roguish programs and processes all
the time, let Quitling do the job for you. Add a program to the AutoKill
list and it will never get a chance to even start. And for those of you who
would rather keep stuff alive than dead, try the AutoStart feature.
Quitling will make sure that any server software, mail programs or other
processes you need running continuously will immediately restart if
anything bad happens.
