XML for SCRIPT 0.2
Michael Houghton <mike at idle.org> - July 15th 2000, 20:28 EST

XML for SCRIPT is a simple, fast, non-validating XML parser, written in JavaScript. It is suitable for experimental or educational purposes, or whatever other use you can put it to. The parser has a trivial document object model, and should run happily in a version 3 or 4 browser; a demonstration application is included online. XML for SCRIPT lacks some well-formedness constraints, and has no support whatsoever for entity declarations and the DOCTYPE tag, but should be useful for simple well-formed XML documents.

Changes: Switch to a single-pass parser, reworked DOM methods, and silent ignoring of processor instructions, entity declarations, and DTDs rather than failing.

ResCafé 1.2.5
G. Brannon Smith <brannonsmith at yahoo.com> - July 15th 2000, 18:36 EST

ResCafé is a Swing-based Java utility for reading and extracting resources such as ICONs and MENUs from the Resource Forks of Macintosh files. It is somewhat similar to ResEdit on MacOS except that it is not an editor; it operates on files in a read-only fashion. Particular resource types are parsed by auto-detected plugin handler classes. Hopefully, others will write their own such Handlers.

Changes: Completely replaced Jimi with XpmImage for all code including plugins. Also fixed ResCafe top class so multiple files can be loaded on the commandline.
