RegExRX is a regular expression development app and among its new features is better support for copying a pattern to Real Studio and pasting it back in. You can use the menu command to Copy Pattern As Real Studio (REALbasic) Code and paste directly into your app. What's new is that you can then highlight and copy the pattern, including quotes, EndOfLine, etc., and paste it back into RegExRX using the new Paste Pattern From Real Studio option and it will properly interpret it. This makes going back and forth between your code and RegExRX a snap.
There is also new support for 4D and JavaScript, a similar code-interpreter for AppleScript (Mac-only, of course), and better support for mode switches at the start of the pattern. For example, if you start the pattern with "(?i)", the Case Sensitive option under the Options menu will be dimmed and unchecked to indicate that you've overridden that option in your pattern. There's also colorization support for every PCRE token, even the really useless ones.

Cully Technologies, LLC is pleased to announce the release of the Visual Foxpro to Real Studio Converter, version 0.2beta. The converter converts Visual Foxpro forms and their controls into Real Studio version control format. Currently, the converter doesn't convert the code behind the controls but it does honor the control names, and most of the layout.
The Real Studio project now properly identifies the forms as belonging to the project. More controls are converted such as the Option Groups and Image Controls. The method code for the forms and command buttons are converted into the Real Studio Windows, but are commented out. This should make it so you can manually convert your code into RealBasic. The source code for the converter is free and available for download for compiling in Visual Foxpro 9.

http://www.moviedraft.com/us/download/ fp Plugin 5.1
fp Plugin 5.1 corrects a bug in fpLnFactorial which limited precision, and gives a better output precision to fpBigFactorial. Using Bob Delaney's fp multi-precision engine, fp Plugin for Real Studio adds three new data types: BigInteger, BigFloat, and BigComplex. Except for available memory, there is no limitation on the size of a BigInteger. So you can multiply a 100 digit integer by another 100 digit integer giving the exact 200 digit integer. BigFloat is a multi—precision floating point number. You can set both the internal precision and the decimal output precision for BigFloat, with no limitation except for available memory. It might take awhile, but you can now calculate pi in a REALbasic program to a million decimal places, or more. The power of 10 for BigFloat can range from about -600,000,000 to +600,000,000 as compared to -308 to +308 for a Double. BigComplex is composed of two BigFloats, so it uses BigFloat precision. fp Plugin itself allows you to construct programs which can handle the three data types much like doubles and integers are handled. To a large extent the plugin's data types can be freely used with the +, -, *, and / operators, and can be used in comparisons. And most of REALbasic's functions have been overloaded to take the plugin's data types, where it makes sense to do so.

RB Package Maker is an application for Real Studio developers who want to prepare their Apps for the Mac App Store. With it's new release 2.0, RB Package maker closes the gap for Cocoa applications. As of November 1st, Apple requires all new apps to be Cocoa compliant. RB Package maker makes the handling of Entitlements a snap. Click the rights needed for your application, and RB Package Maker signs the application bundle with this required entitlements. If your App is already in the Mac AppStore, you need to move support files like databases or data files from 'outside' the sandbox into the sandbox. RB Package Maker supports this as well and helps you to 'sandbox' all files your application needs. The new version supports:
* Code signing
* Sandbox Entitlement keys
* Sandbox Migration of files
* Correction of various data in Real Studio App Bundles (like Icon Name, PKG Name, Version format, PList data etc)
* and finally Packaging.
The 'Sandboxing' part makes RB Package Maker one of the few, if not the only application of this kind, which fully automates the whole process for RB developers. This is all done with a couple of mouse clicks in one or two minutes. To get an idea of how it works, interested customers can watch a two-minute video (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIyH_4ruNlY ) demonstrating the process. The demo app is partly functional, as the final signing and packaging process is disabled.Product: RB Package Maker
