Open Source Cocoa Sprite Kit 1.0 Beta release 2

Built from ground up using Objective-C and Mac OS X's Quartz Compositing
Engine, Cocoa Sprite Kit is a framework designed to make powerful 2D
graphics applications with ease. Although mainly designed for 2D games,

Max Programming, LLC - eMail Verifier-X v1.0
May, 13 2002 -- Maxprog is proud to present its new product, eMail
Verifier, the very first tool available on the Macintosh platform for batch
e-mail validity checking. (Mac OS X only)
Overview
If your database contains incorrect e-mail addresses, this disadvantages
you in two ways. First, you have to put up with annoying 'undeliverable'
messages. And second, you lose the ability to communicate by e-mail with
your contacts. Email Verifier checks the validity of your e-mail addresses
without actually sending e-mails. You can use the list of failed addresses
to build a list for a 'please update' campaign.
Email Verifier is a very effective piece of software that can verify over
10 e-mails per second . It can verify single e-mails or huge lists. (eMail
Verifier is multithreaded, providing high speed verifying)
eMail Verifier works on the same algorithm as ISP mail systems do.
Addresses for e-mail are extracted from a Domain Naming Server (DNS...

BugSpray for Mac OS X
For Immediate Release
Barry Software Releases Public Alpha of BugSpray for Mac OS X
May 9, 2002: Barry Software announces the immediate availability of a
public alpha of BugSpray, the new automated debugging tool for Carbon Mac
OS X developers.
WHAT IS BUGSPRAY?
BugSpray is an automated debugging tool - instead of waiting for your
program to crash, BugSpray closely monitors the executable code and catches
problems at the exact point they occur - rather than at the point that the
computer crashes - which can be completely unrelated.
BugSpray specializes in the hard to find memory errors, involving
out-of-bounds memory accesses, accessing stale memory blocks - the sorts of
errors that can take weeks to nail down, or only appear in non-easily
reproducible situations (e.g. during a demo to your most important client).
While the memory protection of Mac OS X is great for catching NULL pointers
and those uninitialized pointers that allowed you to crash other programs
(or the OS), it still...
ResPloder 1.6
The La Jolla Underground is pleased to announce the immediate availability
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.
* Ability to set default file types and creators for exploded files.
* Window menu.
ResPloder is free and can be found at: http://ljug.com/sw/resploder.html...
