Windows.
Kivio mp (http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/) is similar to Visio
from Microsoft but we go beyond just using stencils to provide generic
vector graphic ability as found in Corel Draw that allow you to mix types
of images on a page. Kivio mp allows you to map out virtually any process
you can think of with the huge collection of included stencil sets. Some of
the additional features include:

and export Visio diagrams. Since these features are useful on their own, I
thought we'd do a series of intermediary releases as we get closer. The
Visio filters will be priced separately as they aren't needed by everyone...

MacDX and PortAsm/86 assist developers porting Windows code to Macintosh
London, England (29th November 2002)
Coderus Ltd and MicroAPL Ltd are pleased to announce that they are
collaborating to provide solutions for Games Developers who wish to move
games from Xbox or MS-Windows to Macintosh.
Games on Xbox or MS-Windows frequently make use of Microsoft's DirectX API
calls, and may also contain sections of code written in 80x86 assembly
language, both of which have previously been a bar to porting the code to
Macintosh.
Using the MacDX product from Coderus Ltd, developers can now readily move
code which uses the DirectX API to Macintosh. Most code which uses DirectX
can simply be recompiled and linked to the MacDX libraries.
If the source contains any 80x86 assembler code, developers can now use
MicroAPL's PortAsm/86 product which automatically translates the 80x86
assembler source, and rewrites it in native PowerPC assembler suitable for
running on the Macintosh. PortAsm's glue...

TypeIt4Me for Mac OS X
London, Friday, November 22, 2002
After nearly a year in beta testing and 18 months of development, Riccardo
Ettore is proud to announce the official launch of the native version of
TypeIt4Me for OS X!
Originally published in 1989 (that's EIGHTY-nine!), TypeIt4Me won the 1994
MacUser Shareware Award for Best Publishing Tool and has become a "classic"
must-have program for anyone who does any typing on their Mac.
Similar to a well-known wordprocessor's autotext/autocorrect feature,
TypeIt4Me expands abbreviations as you type. Unlike autotext/autocorrect,
TypeIt4Me is available in ALL applications, not just one.
And unlike other macro utilities which force you to memorize arcane
ctrl-cmd-something keyboard combinations, TypeIt4Me allows you to define
YOUR OWN abbreviations, so you can remember them easily and you can type
them naturally, as part of your writing.
