Apple X11 0.3 Complete X Window System To Run X11 Apps Apple X11 0.3 Complete X Window System To Run X11 Apps Prior to the introduction of Mac OS X, virtually the only way developers could create a graphical application in a UNIX-based operating system was with the X Window System, more commonly called X11. X11 for Mac OS X offers UNIX users the ability to run thousands of X11 applications concurrently with other Mac OS X applications. X11 for Mac OS X offers a complete X Window System implementation for running X11-based applications on Mac OS X. Based on the de facto-standard for X11, the open source XFree86 project, X11 for Mac OS X is compatible, fast and fully integrated with Mac OS X. It includes the full X11R6.6 technology including a window server, libraries and basic utilities such as xterm. With the complete suite of the standard X11 display server software, client libraries and developer toolkits, X11 for Mac OS X makes it even simpler to port Linux and Unix applications to the Mac. Based on XFree86 4.2.1, X11 for Mac OS X gives you a complete, rootless X11R6.6 implementation, as well as display server and client libraries — plus headers in the SDK. X11 for Mac OS X supports ssh tunnelling for secure display sharing. You can download all the common toolkits from OpenDarwin.org. Native Aqua and X11 applications run side by side on the Mac OS X desktop. You can cut and paste between X11 and Aqua windows. You can minimise X11 windows to the Dock — even with the “Genie Effect”. You use the Aqua window controls to close, minimise, and zoom X11 windows. And of course, each X11 window comes with its own carefully rendered drop shadow. Experts may choose to replace the native Aqua window manager with their own familiar, standard X Window Manager. X11 for Mac OS X takes advantage of the Mac OS X Quartz graphics system to deliver hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics. Quartz provides snappy scrolling speeds for text, live drag and resize of windows, as well as no-compromise 3D animation through OpenGL Direct Rendering. X11 for Mac OS X combines the display and client libraries into a single download and install, so getting X11 running on Mac OS X is easy. The installer sets up your environment with your path and DISPLAY. It also makes it simple to start xterm sessions and other popular X11 utilities. And of course, you can use any three- USB mouse with X11 for Mac OS X — plug it in and it just works.

Bookends 7.5.2 Bibliography & Reference Management System Bookends is a full-featured and cost-effective bibliography/reference and information management system for students and professionals. Bookends runs natively in Mac OS X as well as older versions of Mac OS, from 8.6 through 9.x. With Bookends you can easily import references (information about journal articles, books, etc.) from hundreds of online sources (even import references directly from PubMed, Medline on BioMedNet, and some OVID databases without intermediary files). Import references from EndNote and Papyrus databases. "Scan" your manuscripts to generate finished versions ready for submission or publication, with full in-text citations and bibliographies that meet the most exacting requirements. Bookmark favorite web sites (such as PubMed, Ingenta (Uncover/Reveal), etc.) and instantly access them via your browser. Attach any file to a reference and with a single click open it in Bookends (if it is QuickTime-compatible) or in the application that created it. This means you can, for example, search Bookends for an article and, if present on the hard disk or server, instantly open its pdf file. Pictures and graphics (figures, graphs, diagrams, etc.) are just as easily accessed. Plug-ins let you access the power of Bookends from within Microsoft Word and Nisus Writer to directly format manuscripts for publication.
Got an iPod? Want to take your references (including abstracts) with you? You can with Bookends.
• You can try a fully functional (but limited to 50 references per database) version of Bookends before you buy.

TCP Deux v1.1.1 Released by Deep Sky Tech., Inc. Deep Sky Technologies, Inc., today announced the full release of TCP Deux v1.1.1 for Macintosh and Windows. TCP Deux is a 4th Dimension component which provides cross-platform TCP wrappers for different TCP plugins available for 4th Dimension. The plugins supported within TCP Deux include 4D Internet Commands v6.7.x, 4D Internet Commands v6.8.x, 4D Internet Commands v7.0.x (2003), Internet ToolKit v2.0.x, and Internet ToolKit v2.5.x. With the TCP Deux component, a 4th Dimension developer can code TCP level routines without worrying about which particular plugin is going to be used. TCP Deux provides a very simple upgrade path for developers to write one set of code. With TCP Deux, a 4D developer can begin by using the free 4D Internet Commands for all TCP communications and upgrade to the commercial Internet ToolKit plugin when the needs arises, all without changing a single line of code. This maintenace release provides a couple of minor bug fixes within the component. Compatibility with 4D v7.0.x (4D 2003) has been added to this release. As well, compatibility with SSL connections when using 4D IC v6.8.1 or above has been included. Asynchronous connections using 4D IC v6.8.0 or above has also been included with this release of TCP Deux. This release supports running in demo mode. Demo mode allows for the component to be fully used for 30 minutes when no serial code is supplied to the TCP Deux component. A full manual, explaining every call and feature available in TCP Deux, is included with the component. Features in the TCP Deux component TCP Deux provides cross-platform, plugin independent routines for handling all TCP communications in 4D. The functionality available in the TCP Deux component include:
- Stream and listener openers and closers;
The TCP stream management system, entitled TCPd Streams Stack, built into TCP Deux provides a complete management and tracking system for 4D developers to use for handling all TCP streams. The TCPd Streams Stack provides transparent management of all TCP streams, allowing the 4D developer to concentrate on management the higher level TCP protocol being coded for instead of the direct management of the TCP connection streams. And, the TCPd Streams Stack even provides full support for common TCP serving options (e.g. distributed process handlers within 4D). The TCP Deux component requires the BASh component be installed to operate properly. BASh is available for free from Deep Sky Technologies, Inc., and provides essential routines needed by all 4D programmers. TCP Deux has been released with separate development and deployment licensing. Development licensing includes all updates released within a year of purchase for free and allows for unlimited development by a single developer for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Renewals of the development license are provided at a discounted price. Deployment licensing is a one time fee per application which will allow unlimited deployments to run indefinitely. The pricing for the different options available for purchasing TCP Deux are as follows:
Developer License, 1 year (includes 10 deployments) $95.00
TCP Deux provides full support for Internet ToolKit (ITK) v2.5.x. Deep Sky Technologies, Inc., is an authorized, worldwide distributor of ITK v2.5.x. Developers that purchase ITK v2.5.x through DSTi receive the following discounted prices for when purchasing TCP Deux, as well:
Developer License, 1 year (includes 10 deployments) • FREE •
