360Works ScriptMaster 3.1 is known as a free, general-purpose and modular FileMaker plugin, which appears with modules for file manipulation, URL and network utilities, Web Services, shell scripting, event/script triggering, and many others. ScriptMaster integrates tightly with your FileMaker solution. You can pass in any number of inputs, receive any number of outputs, call FileMaker scripts, and access your FileMaker fields and calculations from any module. In addition to the many existing modules that come free with ScriptMaster, 360Works is available to create custom modules suited to your specific needs. In addition, if you are familiar with Java, you can create your own expansion modules, although you do not need to know Java in order to use the many free modules that come with ScriptMaster. The possibilities are truly limitless with what you can accomplish with this plugin.

GNU S statistical computing and graphics. more>>
R 2.9.1 is a wonderful maths and science tool which is used for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.
R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, bioinformatics, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity.
One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control.
R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. It compiles and runs out of the box on a wide variety of UNIX platforms and similar systems (including FreeBSD and Linux). It also compiles and runs on Windows 9x/NT/2000 and MacOSX.

Choice 0.1.3
Simple little gem for easily defining and parsing command line options with a friendly DSL more>> QuickUML is a software design tool that tightly integrates a core set of UML models with code generation for several languages. An entire project is presented through a tabbed window that includes use cases, class models, object models, dictionary and code and saved as an XML file. Use cases document user interactions with the system and link to models, code, foreign files or other use cases. Class models may contain classes, interfaces, components, packages and other objects. Sequence diagrams illustrate how objects interact with emphasis on the order in which things occur. QuickUML contains advanced features for multiple language projects, design namespaces, UML stereotype extensions, flexible color support, custom detail fields and automated generation of class models from the dictionary. An integrated code manager enables the designer to navigate through code files linked to use cases and diagram objects.<<less

TeXShop 2.26
A great Tex previewer, for Mac OS X, written in Cocoa. more>> A great Tex previewer, for Mac OS X, written in Cocoa.
TeXShop is a very useful tool, a TeX previewer for Mac OS X, written in Cocoa.
Since pdf is a native file format on OS X, TeXShop uses "pdftex" and "pdflatex" rather than "tex" and "latex" to typeset; these programs in the standard teTeX distribution of TeX produce pdf output instead of dvi output.
TeX is a typesetting program by Donald Knuth, used extensively in mathematics, computer science, physics, economics, and other fields.
For a history of the development of TeX, see Just What Is TeX. Consult the TeX Users Group Web Site for additional information.
To use TeXShop, you need to learn TeX or LaTeX.
Enhancements
- The TeXShop/Engines/Inactive folder contains two scripts from Daniel Becker which call texcount to count active words in a TeX source file. These engines were promised in 2.25 but erroneously omitted. They are in 2.26. To obtain them, quit TeXShop and move the entire Engines folder from ~/Library/TeXShop to the Desktop. Then restart TeXShop. TeXShop will create a new Engines folder. Merge in any changes you have made in the old Engines folder on the desktop to the new folder.
- Juan Luis Varona sent new Program and Encoding macros which display the various choices, so it is not necessarily to look up the wording of these choices. A few days later, Ramon M. Figueroa-Centeno send similar but fancier macros. Ramons macros are now in TeXShop. To obtain them, quit TeXShop and move the entire Macros folder from ~/Library/TeXShop to the Desktop. Then restart TeXShop. TeXShop will create a new Macros folder. Merge in any changes you made to the old Macros on the desktop to the new copy, using the Macro Editor.
- A memory leak introduced by the code to split the Preview window in 2.25 is fixed. The bug was similar to the old flaw in PDFKit which caused memory to be gradually used up when typesetting a document many times, but this time the bug was caused by me.
- A bug in the zoom code for the preview window when using multiple monitors is fixed.
- A bug which caused TeXShop to ignore a "% !TEX TS-program = ..." command when typesetting from a file with an associated root file is fixed.
- The French localization is improved.
- A localization error caused the "Split Window" icon on the Preview Window toolbar to display strange text. This is fixed.
- A bug caused the Preview Windows toolbar to vanish temporarily if the user tried to move certain text portions of the toolbar. This is fixed.
- One of the keyboard zoom shortcuts acted only on the top portion of the Preview window when split. This is fixed.
- The TeX mdimporter code distributed with TeXShop in 2.25 contained only i386 code. Now it contains code for both PPC and i386.

Suitcase Fusion 2 13.1.1 is an advanced program which satisfies you because it continues the tradition of professional font management capabilities, by focusing heavily on the creative aspects of typography with a host of features that allow users to really appreciate their type.
By using Suitcase Fusion 2's Glyph View Palette users can easily preview and navigate through potentially thousands of glyphs within a single type face, compare and ultimately select the most ideal font for the project. The innovative Floating Preview feature allows creative professionals to literally drag-and-drop type previews directly onto a layout for easy comparison and selection. Suitcase Fusion 2 also allows users to view multiple fonts side-by-side and dynamically zoom the point size up-and-down on the fly.
In addition, users are able to print font previews to further compare font choices. Also included in Suitcase Fusion 2 are all new auto-activation plug-ins that automatically turn fonts on and off within the professional creative applications users leverage every day. Plug-ins and XTensions are available for the newly-released Adobe InDesign CS4, Adobe Illustrator CS4 and QuarkXPress 8, as well as for Creative Suite 3 software applications and QuarkXPress 7.
Auto-activation operates in the background and provides creative professionals with the ability to seamlessly work in their chosen applications while automatically activating the exact fonts by utilizing Extensis' proprietary Font Sense font matching capabilities feature. Font Sense creates a unique ID for each font - like font fingerprinting - to ensure font consistency as documents move from design through production.
