The ODBCKit is an open source framework for Cocoa developers to leverage the underlying Open Database Connectivity resources in the business network.

On the Mac platform, there exists a few options in the realm of the Relational Database Management System. Unfortunately, these systems are all either very pricey, or have poor support from applications because they lack either marketshare or mindshare. Today there is a huge amount of support for several open source products, of which PostgreSQL is among the best, and with a very commercial friendly licensing terms, it is a very attractive database for the Mac user, developer and enterprise all.

Highly scalable, and with an excellent support base in the open source community, bringing high quality tools and support the PostgreSQL on the Mac platform seems a natural fit, and that is the intent here. Providing a base of a solid server package in addition to lightweight management and client tools. In addition to that free base there are support contracts available, as well as CD installers.

TinyFugue, aka "tf", is a flexible, screen-oriented MUD client, for use with any type of MUD. TinyFugue is one of the most popular and powerful mud clients

Originally developed by Ken Keys, it compiles on virtually every UNIX, and most Unix-like environments. Unfortunately, the very thought of compiling anything scares many users of other environments. We here at Druware do not have that fear and feel that by providing both the tweaks needed to build a TinyFugue distribution and binary installers, we can expand the acceptance of TinyFugue.

Our builds of the 5.x versions of TinyFugue are lightly tweaked to feel more at home in their platforms. On Windows, for example, we no longer rely on external environment variables that must be tweaked to get everything working. The upcoming Mac versions will offer a tidy little application bundle that can be easily moved, and does not require knowledge of the Command Prompt or Terminal. In the future, we hope to improve the native feel of the applications even further...
