MacSQL Framework Seeding Program

- Runtime Labs is working on a suite of new products that will provide developers of AppleScript Studio applications and stand-alone AppleScripts easy access to SQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and FrontBase. A framework will be provided for AppleScript Studio and a faceless background application for AppleScripts. An interface builder palette is included too, so it's possible to write an application that opens a database connection, queries the database, and displays the results in an NSTableView without writing a line of code.

The Active Extension Processor (AEP) v1.0

- AEP, a background application created with AppleScript Studio, allows users to run applications by changing the extension of a file or folder in the Finder. For example, adding the suffix ".zip" turns an item into a zipped archive, or removing the extension unzips the archive. Another option is to translate a file by just changing its file extension, e.g. turn an aiff file into a mp3 file by changing the suffix ".aiff" into ".mp3". By writing plug-ins in AppleScript, users can customise AEP's behaviour and adapt it to suit their own needs. This was released earlier this month and it appears to have slipped beneath my radar until now.

Mac OS X Encoding Plethora v1.0

This download includes editable scripts for B64/Mime, Gnutar, Gzip, Pax, Tar, UU, Zip and Z. The author is working on an AppleScript Studio GUI for the scripts.
