Staz Software Welcomes Metalbasic Users
STAZ SOFTWARE WELCOMES METALBASIC USERS
WHY?
STAZ Software, Inc., developer of FutureBASIC, has long looked on
MetalBasic with interest and goodwill [see
(http://www.stazsoftware.com/staz/index.php?ref=20010700_000001)]. Andy
Gariepy, the driving force behind FutureBASIC for over a decade, had this
to say: "I've always worked hard to improve FutureBASIC. It's easy to
understand Marin Saric's determination to make the most of MetalBasic."
Still, there has been concern among MetalBasic coders as to Mac OS X
support and the continued development of the environment.
FutureBASIC is one of the few programming environments to have crossed the
great divide from 68K to PPC and now to Carbon. The people at STAZ Software
understand the need to stand-by users, but also how difficult these changes
can be.
WHAT?
There seems to be a consensus that from the editing and programming
perspectives, [as well as the fierce determination to be the best :-) ],
FutureBASIC and MetalBasic have a lot in common...
ResPloder 1.0
The La Jolla Underground is pleased to announce the immediate
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.
Please send any comments to: leshner@ljug.com.
Thank you.

acgi dispatcher for Mac OS X
"James Sentman announces the release of acgi dispatcher 1.0 for Mac OS X."
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...

Will Cosgrove Releases REALbasic plugin for Speech Recognition
Will Cosgrove is pleased to announce his latest REALbasic plugin which
allows REALbasic to use Speech Recognition. It doesn't do anything fancy
like paths and multiple language models, but it's really easy to use and

speech responses.
- It allows you to install speech help in the Speech Command window under
Mac OS X which, up to this point, is an undocumented feature.
You can download it at:

BitVice MPEG2 video encoder: Professional Decoding, Consumer...
For Immediate Release.
The one professional MPEG2 software encoder at a consumer price.
Innobits releases the BitVice MPEG2 video encoder. The high-end encoder
that is friendly to your inevitable quality versus bit-budget trade-off.
Stuff more MPEG2 video onto each DVD disk, at broadcast quality!

other platforms will follow.
