NeoOffice 3.0 Patch 3
OpenOffice without X11 dependencies. more>> OpenOffice without X11 dependencies.
NeoOffice is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs) for Mac OS X.
Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice incorporates dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.
Unlike the Mac OS X release of OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice does not require the X11 windowing system.
Released as free, open-source software under the GNU General Public License (GPL), NeoOffice is fully functional and stable enough for everyday use. The software is actively developed, and updates and improvements are available on a regular basis.
Available Languages: Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish and Vietnamese.
Main features:
- Uses the Native Mac OS X Spellchecker
Unlike OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice has an enhanced spellchecker that uses the Mac OS X spellchecking dictionary. With this enhanced spellchecker, users no longer need to download and install spellchecking dictionaries if Mac OS X already has a dictionary for their language.
- Uses the Native Mac OS X Address Book
NeoOffice has included the ability to use the Mac OS X address book as a data source. This feature, which was developed by OpenOffice.org, is expected to be in their OpenOffice.org 2.3 release.
- Handles Most Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Files
NeoOffice includes the ODF Add-in for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The ODF Add-in is an open source project that makes it possible for NeoOffice to open, edit, and save most files in the Office 2007 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats. This feature is not available in current Mac versions of Microsoft Office and will not be available until Office 2008 for the Mac is released.
- Handles Macros in Excel Files
NeoOffice includes the Excel macro support developed by Novells ooo-build project. The ooo-build project is an open source project that continually develops feature enhancements to OpenOffice.org.
- Aqua
Unlike OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice has native Aqua menus, file open and save dialogs, print dialogs, buttons, scrollbars, and many other native Aqua user interface elements.
- No X11 software required
NeoOffice uses the Java technology that is built into Mac OS X. By using Java, there is no need to download and install the X11 software that OpenOffice.org requires.
- Uses Mac OS X fonts
Unlike OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice uses the same fonts that all of your other Mac OS X applications use. This means that NeoOffice will handle reading and writing of Western European characters (e.g. characters with accents, umlauts, circumflexes, cedillas, etc.) and some fonts will even handle Japanese, Chinese, and Korean ideographs. Also, NeoOffice is able to use any fonts that you install using the /Applications/Font Book application.
- Handles international keyboards
Unlike OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice will use any keyboard layout that you use. Also, if you switch your keyboard layout while NeoOffice is running, NeoOffice will automatically switch as well.
- Native printing support
NeoOffice supports printing using Mac OS Xs native printing functionality. Like other Mac OS X applications, you can use NeoOffice to print, preview, or save a document to a PDF file.
- Native copy and paste support
NeoOffice supports copying and pasting using Mac OS Xs native clipboard so you can copy and paste text and images between NeoOffice and other Mac OS X applications.

Flatten OSX Headers 3.0
Provides framework header files for developers. more>>
Flatten OS X Headers provides a flattened version of the many framework header files, and does some other interesting things.
The flattened headers can be used in CW 4, 5, 6,7, 8, and be precompiled.
he advantage then is that one can access any function, use any type, without worrying that it may not be defined. Obviously, the tool does not make the function pointers to call into the systemframework, but having these precompiled headers in a CFM-based target, makes the CarbonLib obsolete, and allows for the most updated "libs" available.
