Free 2009 software for mac

Rudix is a complete collection of pre-compiled and ready to use Unix compatible software (packages) which are not available from a standard installation of Mac OS X (or Darwin) and is very popular among other Unixes environments like GNU/Linux and FreeBSD
For example, software like wget, ncftp, lynx and many more command line tools. Rudix for system administrators and developers is a powerful and easy to customize mechanism to retrieve, compile and create native Mac OS X packages (.pkg files).
Rudix is very quite similar in concept to BSDs ports system and is proudly keeping the tradition of elegance and simplicity.

System requirements:
- For using the porting system the development tools (X-Code) must be installed.
- It is required to setup /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin in your /etc/profile (or $HOME/.profile) in order to use the utilities.

REALbasic 2009.4.0.0 is designed to be an innovative and efficient utility which can help users create software faster and enjoy increased productivity.

REALbasic is a rapid application development (RAD) environment that provides developers a marked increase in productivity over other cross-platform development tools. REALbasic includes drag-and-drop capability to enable you to quickly create a user interface design, then incorporate the code behind it to add power and functionality.

Benefits:

• Migrate Visual Basic applications to Linux and Mac OS X: REALbasic is highly compatible with Visual Basic, so Visual Basic developers are productive very quickly with REALbasic. REALbasic also comes with a utility to help convert Visual Basic projects to REALbasic where they can be compiled for Windows, Mac, even Linux -- with the click of a checkbox.
  
• Create native cross-platform software: REALbasic runs on and creates software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, all from a single set of source code. REALbasic incorporates platform-specific intelligence, like user interface widgets, so software created with REALbasic looks and feels native, regardless of the development platform you created it on.
  
• Create powerful database applications: Build powerful database applications with REALbasic's built-in REAL SQL Database, based on the SQLite public domain database engine. Connect to external multi-user database engines using REALbasic Professional Edition.
