open source core of Mac OS X--check out this Darwin Technology Profile
from the Apple Developer Connection. |
Internet
Software Consortium Hosts OpenDarwin.org
OpenDarwin.org is the home for the Darwin bug tracking system and
an "experimental" source code repository. Hosted by the Internet
Software Consortium, OpenDarwin.org provides developers with greater
freedom to experiment with Darwin open source projects. |

AppleGlot 3.1
AppleGlot is a tool for extracting the text strings out of an application
so that you can translate them, and then reinserts the strings into
the application you are localizing.
Completely rewritten for Mac OS X 10.2, AppleGlot 3.1 offers new
features and improved performance, and supports incremental text
changes, so you do not have to start over with each version or build
of your application. The 3.1 version of AppleGlot supports Cocoa
and Carbon applications, bundled applications, and shared translation
libraries.
Everything you need to get started with AppleGlot (including a Users
Guide) can be downloaded from: AppleGlot
3.1. |
CHUD
tools
The Computer Hardware Understanding Development kit is designed
to simplify performance studies of PowerPC Macintosh systems running
Mac OS X. Developers interested in tuning their products for the
Macintosh platform can either take advantage of existing performance
tools written with CHUD or create their own using the same set
of building blocks. |

search engine and full control over how search results are displayed
using Aqua. Everything required to develop a channel is provided
in the Sherlock Channel SDK including technical documentation, a
sample channel, a Project Builder template, and an Interface Builder
Sherlock palette. |
