Apple Java Updater for Mac OS X 10.3.9 will correct issues affecting some Java users following the installation of Mac OS X v10.3.9 Software Update.

After updating to Mac OS X 10.3.9, some systems may have issues with Java applications and Java-enabled websites when using Safari. Safari may unexpectedly quit, and standalone Java applications may unexpectedly quit or not launch. This update resolves that issue.

With this piece of software - available in source code - you can run the SPECviewperf benchmark on Mac OS X.
SPECviewperf is the most renowned benchmark test for characterizing the OpenGL performance of computer systems. Viewperf tries to simulate "real-world" applications and uses large datasets from professional CAD and computer animation software to perform the tests.
SPECviewperf can be downloaded from the official distribution web-site. After combining it with our adaptor code, you can create your own version of the software, compatible with Mac OS X.

With the advent of Mac OS X, the Apple Macintosh has become a powerful platform to run tried and tested Unix software. This includes large-scale applications for CAD, engineering, computer animation, and scientific visualization that have been or will be ported to the Mac OS X platform.
A very important factor in this development is OpenGL, the industry standard Application Program Interface (API) for creating interactive real-time computer graphics. This document describes how to run SPECviewperf, the most renowned benchmark test for characterizing the performance of OpenGL implementations (hardware and software) on Mac OS X systems.
While Mac OS X fully supports OpenGL and the official Unix source code for SPECviewperf can be downloaded from the SPEC organization, it was not easy until now to run SPECviewperf on Apples new operating system: The ViewPerf code does not (yet) consider Apple Macintosh as supported platform to run the benchmark test.

As an additional problem, Mac OS X has one of the richest OpenGL interfaces of the industry because it is able to support four different OpenGL client extensions:
the AGL extensions, the legacy Apple interface used in old-style Carbon applications,
GLX, the OpenGL extensions for the X Window system, used in X11 applications that run on Mac OS X,
the OpenGL Framework, the native interface to the operating systems GL support, used in up-to-date Mac OS X applications,
Core OpenGL, the common low-level interface which is the basis for the previously mentioned APIs.

We have developed adaptor code and a patch for SPECviewperf that enables you to run the ViewPerf benchmarks natively on Mac OS X via the Quartz / Aqua window server. With this piece of software, ViewPerf is able to use the Macs original OpenGL engine and will correctly identify Macintosh hardware. You will be able to run the standard ViewPerf benchmark tests on Mac OS X and characterize the performance of its OpenGL implementation in comparison with other computer and operating systems.
Additionally, we provide some scripts that enable you to build and run the ViewPerf benchmark tests with simple point-and-click operations. So the whole process should be managable even for users that have never been working with the command-line before. Detailed explanations of all steps are given below.

The general procedure is as follows:
1. Download the original SPECviewperf source code and datasets from the SPEC web-site.
2. Download the Mac OS X adaptor code from our web-site.
3. Build the ViewPerf benchmark tools.
4. Run the SPECviewperf benchmark tests.

Whats New in This Release:

· Revised version for ViewPerf 8.1, Mac OS X 10.4.2 "Tiger", and Macintosh systems with PPC or x86 processors.

RAR is a powerful tool which allows you to manage and control archive files. The archive is usually a regular file, which name has a ".rar" suffix.

RAR has the following other editions available: RAR for Linux and RAR for FreeBSD.

Here are some key features of "RAR for Mac OS X":

· RAR introduces an original compression algorithm. It allows higher compression ratios than other PC archiving tools, especially on executable files, object libraries, large text files, etc.
· RAR offers an optional compression algorithm highly optimized for multimedia data.
· RAR provides functionality for creating a solid archive, which can raise the compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common methods, particularly when packing large numbers of small files.
· RAR offers the ability to create and change SFX archives using default and external SFX modules.
· RAR offers the ability to create a multi-volume archive as SFX.
· RAR offers a number of service functions, such as setting a password, adding archive and file comments. Even physically damaged archives may be repaired and an archive may be locked to prevent further changes. Authenticity information may be added for additional security and RAR will store information on the last update and name of the archive.


Limitations:

· 40 days trial.
