This is neccessary for some UNIX servers and PHP.
The author has also includes another script which will list only the JPGs of a certain folder (needs edited to suit local needs).
Unix Permissions Widget 1.0
Unix Permissions Widget - Finds the binary equivalent of permissions for files/directories more>>

removeUNIX 2.0
removeUNIX offers a complete, professional droplet that allows you to drop a file on it to remove the UNIX carriage returns (linefeeds) so that you eliminate a majority of the garbled text when opening a readme or other text file which you got from a UNIX system. more>>
removeUNIX 2.0 offers a complete, professional droplet that allows you to drop a file on it to remove the UNIX carriage returns (linefeeds) so that you eliminate a majority of the garbled text when opening a readme or other text file which you got from a UNIX system. The older version that required the searchandreplace osax is no longer supported. removeUNIX now supports file sizes in excess of 32K. This is accomplished by using the readIn AppleMod which is bundled with removeUNIX. The memory allocation for removeUNIX must be larger than the file size you drop on it. You can also drop multiple files on removeUNIX.
UNIX Permission Calculator 1.0
UNIX Permission Calculator - Convert between different representations of UNIX-style permissions more>>
This widget is based on an OSX application I made a while back. The web page also contains a bit of usage information which equally applies to the widget version. The application version is incidentally based on a web based version I made a long long time ago.
GNU TeXmacs 1.0.6.14
GNU TeXmacs - Free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists more>> GNU TeXmacs - Free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists
GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists.
The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content (text, graphics, mathematics, interactive content, etc.).
The rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting algorithms so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can either be printed out or presented from a laptop.
The software includes a text editor with support for mathematical formulas, a small technical picture editor and a tool for making presentations from a laptop. Moreover, TeXmacs can be used as an interface for many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics, etc.
New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using the Scheme extension language. A native spreadsheet and tools for collaborative authoring are planned for later.
TeXmacs runs on all major Unix platforms and Windows. Documents can be saved in TeXmacs, Xml or Scheme format and printed as Postscript or Pdf files. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and Html/Mathml.
TeXmacs currently runs on most Unix systems, Mac OS X (using Fink), and Windows (using Cygwin).
System requirements:
- 200MHz processor and 32Mb of memory, but >1GHz and >128Mb are recommended.
- TeX/LaTeX distribution on your system
- Guile/Scheme extension language (to compile TeXmacs from source)
System Modifications (Beta)
System Modifications - Make system changes more>>
This project started as a way for me not to have to remember the long Unix commands to edit the .plist files to do these things, so I decided to share it with you.
This is only the second program Ive written in AppleScript, so Im sure it could be better. It will evolve with time.
These modifications are not supported by Apple or by me, so use this at your own risk.
MountNFS 0.2
MountNFS - Startup Item mounts NFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab more>>
While Mac OS X supports /etc/fstab, the preferred method on Mac OS X for specifying filesystems to be mounted at startup is NefInfo. Whilst Mac OS X will automatically mount all filesystems listed in NetInfo and UFS and HFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab at startup, it will ignore the lines in /etc/fstab referring to NFS filesystems, not mounting them, despite the fact that the mount_nfs(8) man page states otherwise.
MountNFS is a little startup item which restores the missing functionality. Once this item is installed, NFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab will be automatically mounted at system startup.

X11 Extension 0.99u
Assign documents to x11 and UNIX apps and a window manager/desktop launcher. more>>
Consists of two parts. Part one: a x11 desktop/window manager launcher. Part two: assigns files to UNIX and x11 apps via a prefpane.
CronniX 3.0.2
CronniX is a Aqua frontend to the powerful Unix tool more>>
Cron is a Unix system service that allows scheduled execution of scripts, programs, applications - in short anything that can be started from the command line. This includes OSX applications and AppleScripts.
Enhancements:
- Really a Universal binary
- Fixed homepage URL (Help menu).
VTUN 2.5
VTUN is released to enable you to create a VPN between computers running OSX. more>>
VTUN 2.5 is released to enable you to create a VPN between computers running OSX. It is not an app, but a unix tool, and as such is not easy to set up unless you're used to administering unix systems.
Requirements: Mac OS X
TermColors 1.0
TermColors is developed to be a handy tool which enables UNIX users to move to OSX. more>>
TermColors 1.0 is developed to be a handy tool which enables UNIX users to move to OSX. However, if you are logged into multiple systems simultaneously, it can be easy to confuse which windows belong where. With TermColors, you can quickly and easily open Terminals of eight different user-configurable colors from an easily-accessible pop-down menu.
Radmind Assistant 1.0
Radmind Assistant - Assistant for remote administration daemon more>>
At its core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change.
Each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from applications.
Enhancements:
- This release adds the Radmind Update Monitor, a small application that appears in the logged-in users menu bar. It communicates with a background tool that runs ktcheck -n periodically throughout the day. When updates are available, the icon flashes to notify the user.
- Radmind Transcript Editor 0.7.7 adds optional Wildcard searches, which can be enabled through the preferences. When enabled, the user may use "*" in the search field to act as a wildcard character, e.g.: .app will display all transcript lines ending with .app in the current transcript.
Changes:
- Fix for "command file does not contain a negative transcript" error
- Fix: Loadsets Folder display (bug #1453534)
- Fix: various Transcript Editor info panel issues (bugs #1448059, #1448063, #1448073, #1449968, #1449972)
- Fix: display refresh error (bug #1451964)
- Fix: Log window resizing (bug #1451971)
- Fix: Rename/Edit conflict (bug #1453549).
