FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dearborn, MI -- June 28, 2001 -- MacHack, The Annual Conference For Leading
Edge Developers, has long been the place where some of the best and
brightest developers in the Macintosh community assemble each year to
compete and show off their fantastic hacks in the MacHax(TM) Best Hack
Contest. Macintosh enthusiasts can enjoy much of the thrill of the Hack
Show without enduring the marathon from midnight to 6AM like this year's
attendees did. It takes a while for authors to show off ninety-some-odd
hacks!
This year's CD-ROM contains 82 hacks from the 2001 conference, and offers
great value for Macintosh hobbyists and coders alike. Most of the hacks
come with source code.
The CD also contains this year's papers and many of the...</div></div></span>

Meshwork is an application for creating and editing highly efficient 3D
models composed of triangular meshes. Models created with Meshwork are
ideal for use in games, on the web, or in other applications where speed
matters; but Meshwork is also widely used for such purposes as ray-tracing
because it is so affordable and easy to learn.
Version 1.8 is the first version of Meshwork to run natively under Mac OS
X. In addition, it sports a number of enhancements and bug fixes (see
Release Notes below). This update continues Codenautics Software's
commitment to producing the best trimesh modeling tool available on the Mac
platform.
Meshwork is available for immediate download at its home page:
http://www.codenautics.com/meshwork/

CUMBERLAND, R.I.-Sustainable Softworks has released an update, version
1.1.1, to IPNetSentry, a personal firewall and intelligent network security
software for Macintosh. The enhancements improve log viewing and add a
traceroute option.
IPNetSentry includes sophisticated intrusion logging features that in
earlier versions quickly created a file too large to read in SimpleText,
and some users don't want to view the entire file in another text editor.
Version 1.1.1 fixes this problem.
When a user clicks the "Log" button within the IPNetSentry Companion
Application, a new Log window is opened within the companion application.
This log file will display the last 32K of the IPNetSentry Log file and
actively display any log commands as they originate from IPNetSentry in
real time, so users can see any attempted intrusions as they happen.
The user will still have the ability to view the entire Log file from their

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...</div></div></span>

Corona is a new software application for Mac OS X that is great for
managing a checking account dedicated to a cash-basis business. What is
unique about Corona is that Corona's files can be opened by any common
spreadsheet software that imports tab-delimited data. Corona can also open
exported information from spreadsheets and databases, making transaction
data easy to share between software applications.
For recordkeeping, Corona easily facilitates transaction entry and bank
reconcilement, helps one find items in the transaction data and quickly
gleans monthly detail by account. Corona also provides monthly or total
reports for income and trial balance. All of Corona's queries and reports
can be printed, or saved as files on disk.
Corona was created because in more than 16 years experience performing
general ledger accounting with a computer, Corona's author, R Charles
Flickinger, has yet to find an accounting software that...</div></div></span>

1.6d13, the latest release of their portable Open Source implementation of
Apple's QuickDraw 3D API.
This release increases compatibility with the QD3D 1.6 API, includes over a
year's worth of bug fixes and new features, and supports Mac OS 8/9, Mac OS
X (Carbon or Cocoa), Linux, Windows, and Be.
Applications written to the Quesa API can take advantage of an extensive
high-level 3D toolkit (including file importers/exporters, plug-in
renderers, and high-level geometries), while still leveraging the
performance of low-level OpenGL 3D hardware acceleration.
Major changes for 1.6d13 include:
- New support for Bitmap and PixMap Marker geometries
- New support for transparency in software rendering, unlike QD3D
- New API reference documentation, generated by HeaderDoc
- New support for the Viewer library on Carbon and Windows
- Added preliminary support for writing 3DMF files
