Utilix FileMaker Pro Plug-in
From: Faustino Forcen (ff@abstrakt.net)
Subject: Abstrakt announces release 0.6 of Utilix
Abstrakt has released another version of Utilix, the popular FileMaker Pro
plugin that groups different utilities that range from text processing to
image measuring.
Utilix started more than a year ago as a showcase of what could be done
using FileMaker Pro External Functions. After more than 3000 downloads it
has become a valuable repository of useful tools for MacOS FileMaker Pro
developers.
New version adds two new functions to get dimensions of an image, and a
general cleanup to the other 16 functions. Amongst them are useful
functions as Pronom, that modifies an string to place any pronom after the
name (thus allowing a better sorting by titles), or Get/NewPath that allow
users to get complete paths to external files.
Price and availability
Utilix 0.6 is free for single licenses, with a 50$ developer license for
those who want to integrate it and distribute it along with their
solutions. It...

From: Faustino Forcen (ff@abstrakt.net)
Subject: Abstrakt releases iMago 1.0.2

formats including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, EPSF, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia

The functions included on iMago not only allow developers and users to

also to obtain information about the original image, such as format, size,
width and heigth, filename and even the full path to the original file.
Other utilities allow users to launch the original file or simply reveal it
on the Finder. You can even change the file creator and kind directly from
FileMaker Pro.
This version of iMago includes, along with other sample files, a FileMaker
5 solution that shows how to use iMago to...

Digital Juke 1.0.1 Beta
Golden Micro Solutions Ltd Announces Digital Juke 1.0.1 beta
Digital Juke is an MP3 music file player, but one with a very specific
purpose -- to act as a jukebox when you're throwing a party.
There are many other Macintosh MP3 players available which may be more
suited as a personal MP3 player. If what you're looking for is a player for
your own (background) use, then you should probably consider using one of
those other applications.
However, if you like to throw parties, but have been concerned about using
your Macintosh as a jukebox to play MP3 files (because of the risks imposed
by having numerous people using your computer to select tracks in a relaxed
atmosphere), then Digital Juke will hopefully provide the answer.
What Does Digital Juke Do That Other Players Dont?
Digital Juke has a number of functions not available in other mp3 players:
* Export available track lists to a text file, for extra processing before
printing.
* Can be used in 'full screen' mode, with the menu bar...

Big Red Button 1.5.1
Golden Micro Solutions Ltd Announces The Big Red Button 1.5.1
The Big Red Button is a simple one-click timer/stopwatch.
Whether you will find this application useful or not, will depend very much
on how you work at your computer. The program itself was designed to solve
one very specific requirement that we had -- we needed a very quick and
easy way to start recording a block of time, while sitting in front of a
computer.
Other timing applications can be great and very useful (e.g.TimeSlice by
Maui Software), and usually after several minutes of inactivity the timer
automatically turns off. However, there are times, such as when the phone
rings, or when someone walks into the office when these 'auto-pause'
features are not what is needed.
In these cases some form of stopwatch to record the amount of time spent in
the unexpected activity is required -- thus the Big Red Button was born.
Double-click the application and it will start timing. Press the start/stop
button to turn it on/off...
