of ResPloder 1.6.
ResPloder explodes the resources of a file into folders. The resource types
become folders and the resources become files that can be edited with any
hex editor. Some resource types are automatically saved in popular file
formats. The data fork of the original file is also preserved.
ResPloder can implode a ResPloded folder back into a file. Drop a ResPloded
folder onto ResPloder and a new file with exactly the same structure as the
original file will be created. If any of the resource files in the
ResPloded folder have been modified, then the changes will become part of
the new file.
New features include:
* Scriptability: ResPloder understands the verbs "explode" and "implode".
* Better handling of resource types with special characters.

OmniObjectMeter 2.0
Offers OS X application developers a solution to common programming problems
Seattle, Washington -- May 6, 2002 -- The Omni Group, developers of Mac OS
X applications and game ports, announce OmniObjectMeter 2.0, a tool aimed
at Cocoa developers that provides an easy way to track and solve common
memory management coding mistakes.
Developers need to be certain that memory is not being used by objects that
no longer need it. After an object has served its function, it should be
disposed of or its memory will be "leaked". When an object is not correctly
detached from the application, or "de-allocated", memory space is wasted
and the application can become slow or crash.
OmniObjectMeter offers an effective way to seek out these memory leaks,
multiply deallocated objects, and improve an application's performance.
Rather than searching through thousands of objects in a system, developers

Overland Park, KS - Press 3=81 - for tech support, has announced a
certification program targeted toward experienced Mac technical
individuals. The certifications are designed to meet a lack of available
third party certification programs for Mac techs.
The site's founder, Scott William, states "Press 3 Certifications have been
a success during the program's examination period over the last 6 months
when it was introduced. The response has been overwhelmingly positive; we
look forward to expanding our offerings for the Mac technical community."
William has a long history in the Mac community and in addition to Press 3,
operates MacOSX.com.
Press 3 Certifications are marketed as a alternative to Apple
Certifications and do not directly compete with anything Apple provides. By
remaining independent, Press 3 is allowed to set their own certification
criteria.
Press 3 offers three certifications with a possibility of earning a fourth.

Walkersville, MD - April 23, 2002 - Mallet and Bare, developers of
productivity and utility software for the Macintosh and Windows platform,
today announced an update to their award-winning application, Erase The
Trail.
Erase the Trail is the file and hard drive management tool used by many.
This application has been compared to applications such as, "Macintosh
Explorer," "Ghost Hunter," and "File Buddy," with more features that you
need and at half the cost. You can batch change creator codes, you can
delete, create, and view invisible files, and you can even completely back
up your hard drive on to some storage device, with the click of a button.
View information that you did not even know existed. Edit Mac OS X long
file names without booting into Mac OS X. One user says, "I have never seen
an application that deletes the invisibles so easily."

availability of ResPloder 1.0. ResPloder explodes the resources of a
file into folders. These folders are named after the types they came
from. Inside each folder are files containing the data for each
resource of that type. These files are simple binary files and can be
edited with any hex editor. The data fork of the original file is
preserved as a file called data.frk and it can also be edited.
ResPloder can implode a ResPloded folder back into a file. Drop a
ResPloder-created folder onto ResPloder and a new file with exactly
the same structure as the original file will be created. If any of
the resource files in the ResPloded folder have been modified, then
the changes will become part of the new file.
ResPloder is made with REALbasic.
ResPloder can be found at: http://ljug.com/sw/resploder.html.

Richmond, VA - April 19th, 2002. Acgi dispatcher allows you to write cgi
programs in AppleScript that can be run with the Apache web server that is
built in to Mac OS X.
This has been a much used feature of the classic Mac OS for many years. By
giving us Apache as the new personal web sharing Apple gave us an
enterprise level server, but took away the ability to code for it in Apple
Script. Acgi dispatcher provides an easy to configure interface between the
unix layer and Apple Script.
In addition to providing the "on handle cgi request" handler for regular
acgi Apple Scripts, acgi dispatcher also supports applications that need to
be called via the "Launch At Suffix" mapping which is used by
pre-processors. Acgi dispatcher will happily send these events to programs
running either as Mac OS X applications or applications running in the
classic environment. Applications running multi-threaded via the "send...</div></div></span>

Anti-tampering Software Gains Enhanced Synergy with Third Party Products
New Albany, Ohio - April 18, 2002 -- Power On Software today announced the
release of On Guard for Macintosh version 3.4, an update to its
industry-leading security and computer access management software. On Guard

is ideally suited for environments such as schools and workgroups, where a
computer is accessible by others, including situations where a single
computer may be shared by more than one user. On Guard permits each
computer to be customized for multiple users so that each user's access is
limited to those files and folders that are needed for that user to perform
specific functions. Nonessential areas may be totally eliminated from
