Icon Fortran

GCC 4 (auto-vectorizing gcc/gfortran) :

Compiled using source code from the GNU CVS servers. This contains current versions of gfortran (GNU F95, this is a version of the much awaited, free, open source, F95 compiler), gcc (GNU C) and g++ (GNU C++) compilers that can perform auto-vectorization (i.e. modify code to take advantage of AltiVec, automatically). Use flag -ftree-vectorize to enable that option. For more information, see this webpage. Download my binaries, and cd to the download folder. Then gunzip gcc-bin.tar.gz (if your browser didn't do so already) and sudo tar -xvf gcc-bin.tar -C /. It installs everything in /usr/local. You invoke F95 by typing gfortran. You will also need to have Apple's Developer Tools installed. They are included on a separate CD in the retail version of OS X and also available as a free download from Apple's Developer Site. Please install the most current version of Developer Tools. For Panther, in addition you'll need to install the current version of cctools (576). Finally, note that there is an alternate g95 project, that is not part of GCC. They seem to have recently released their own official version of g95 for OS X which you may wish to try. Again, note that that g95 is not the same as this version here. Some reports suggest that this alternate g95 is a bit ahead in the implementation of F95 features, but produces poorly optimized executables.

Note: You may need to ranlib some libs after you install. The compiler will tell you which ones when you try to use it. In that case, simply do a sudo ranlib -s on each such library.

Omikron Basic was originally developed in the 80s to be used on ATARI computers. After that, it was mainly used by scientists and engineers to find solutions for complex and mathematically demanding problems. For example, this is how an extensive program to simulate climatic changes was created. One engineering office uses a program written in Omikron Basic to calculate ship constructions; an institute for differential geometry uses a program written in Omikron Basic to calculate solution curves and their graphical representation. The list is endless. With the appearance of Omikron Basic for Apple Macintosh, all of these complex applications are now able to utilize the enormous computation power of the PowerPC processor.

Icon Pashua 0.9.3

Pashua is a tool for creating native Aqua dialog windows for Perl, PHP, Tcl, Python, Ruby, Rexx and shell scripts as well as AppleScript. The GUI elements which can be used for such dialogs include text input fields (single-line and multi-line), checkboxes, radiobuttons, combo boxes, popup menus, open panels or buttons. Moreover, it's possible to embed images or PDFs. Any data submitted from the dialog will be passed on to the calling script, which can (of course) use it for anything. To describe the dialog window, Pashua uses a very simple syntax. All the tedious details such as positioning the elements, calculating the window size etc. are handled automatically by Pashua, thus you can fully concentrate on your application.

Icon Platypus 4.0

Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can be used to create native, flawlessly integrated Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts such as shell scripts or Perl and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle directory structure along with an executable binary that runs the script. Platypus thus makes it possible for you to share your scripts and programs with those unfamiliar with the command line interface, without any knowledge of the Mac OS X APIs -- a few clicks and you will have your own Mac OS X graphical program. Creating installers, maintenance applications, login items, launchers, automations and droplets is very easy using Platypus.
Supports shell scripts, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Expect, Tcl, AppleScript
Supports arbitrary interpreter -- thus support for any script type
Executing scripts with root privileges via Apple's Security Framework
Drag and drop files, which are passed to the script as arguments
Graphical feedback of script execution: progress bar or text window with script output
Can create applications which run in the background
Sophisticated app bundle configuration for associated file types, identifier, version etc.
Graphical interface for bundling support files with script
Built-in script editor, or linking with external editor of choice
Set own application icon or select from presets
Command line tool for automating script application bundling
Creating installers, maintenance applications, login items, launchers, automations and droplets is very easy using Platypus.

SuperCard has been called difficult to describe. It is many different things to many different users. In fact, we offer two different collections of tools, to best suit your needs and budget.
Of course, at the heart of both editions is the SuperCard runtime and runtime editing environment. And, if you plan to use SuperCard from time to time to create software for your personal needs (or you just wish to convert and update HyperCard stacks for use with Mac OS X), you will find the Standard Edition to meet these needs well.
However if you plan to work with many projects, you will find the Developer Edition's advanced editing environment invaluable in saving time constructing new projects (and moving content from one project to another). Moreover, if you plan on distributing your projects commercially, the Developer Edition's Standalone Maker will create applications with your underlying scripts encrypted to prevent others from viewing your code.
Regardless of which edition you choose, SuperCard will empower you to create professional quality custom applications, presentations, and multimedia rich projects in the quickest and easiest manner possible.
