String stuff plugin 2.2 for REALbasic
String stuff plugin 2.2 is available.
plugin: (http://www.elfdata.com/programmer/downloads/charsetplug.sit)
source: (http://www.elfdata.com/programmer/downloads/charsetplugsource.sit)
This is a plugin that does many things. The simplest things it does
is: Returning a memoryblock that points to a string that you passed as
a parameter, allowing you to alter the string """"""""in place"""""""" simply by
altering the memoryblock's .byte property; doing ascb(midb(mystring, i,
1)) 9x faster; giving you an instrb equivilent for memoryblocks.
InCharSet returns the first character in the container that is
contained itself inside the CharSet parameter. So
InCharSet(""""""""xxxxxaxxxx"""""""",1,0,""""""""a"""""""") would return 6, because the first
character in """"""""xxxxxaxxxx"""""""" that is in """"""""a"""""""", is the 6th character.
OutCharSet returns the first character in the container that *isn't*

wxDesigner for Mac OS 8/9
Hi,
I would like to announce that a first beta version of wxDesigner is
available for MacOS 8/9 - next to the already available variants for
Windows, Linux, IRIX, Solaris and FreeBSD.
wxDesigner is a commercial RAD tool for wxWindows, which is a free C++ GUI
library available for most operating systems. wxWindows ships with very
popular language bindings for Perl and Python - wxPython is about to
replace TkInter as the standard GUI for Python.
The Unix and Windows variants of wxWindows have been in production use for
a long time already, but the MacOS port has not been up to serious tasks
until very recently. Named MacOS port is still under heavy development, but
it is already fully carbonized and now runs perfectly under MacOS 8/9 and
well under MacOS X.

ExtremeZ-IP Ends Mac OS X - Windows """"""""Blind Spot""""""""
Ensures Continued Access to Windows File Servers
Arlington, VA - July 13, 2001 - Group Logic, a leading vendor of network
workflow software, announced today its ExtremeZ-IP product uniquely allows
users of Apple's new Mac OS X to continue to use Windows NT and 2000 file
servers easily.
Mac users are accustomed to using the Chooser to locate servers quickly and
simply via the AppleTalk network protocol, but in OS X the Chooser is
replaced by the Connect to Servers function, which uses TCP/IP only. As a
result of this change, users of the new operating system find it difficult
and even impossible to locate and connect to servers based on Microsoft's
Services for Macintosh, a built-in component of the Windows NT and Windows
2000 server operating systems. ExtremeZ-IP, Group Logic's file server
product for mixed Macintosh and Windows networks, restores the network

PagePlanet: New Pricing Model for MGI
PagePlanet Software, Inc. is pleased to announce a new pricing and product
offering model effective immediately.
PPS will now sell Modular Gateway Interface (MGI) in its Commerce version
only, eliminating the Essentials and Essentials Plus builds. The price for
MGI Commerce is also lowered to $300 per copy, down from its previous price
of $999.
PPS is doing this for several reasons:
1. The overwhelming numbers of MGI sold are the Commerce version. MGI
Commerce contains every one of the tags, modules and features as found in
Essentials and Essentials Plus (plus dozens pf others) making those
versions redundant at this price point.
2. We noticed that WebSTAR is now selling for $399 per copy and we no
longer feel that a third-party plug-in to a WebSTAR should sell for more
than the server itself.
3. We want folks who are already committed to other third-party products to
add MGI to their stable of available tools. Pricing MGI Commerce at $300
allows virtually anyone to add MGI even if...
