Subject: [ANN] SpotCheck, the program editor that knows Java
GenieWorks, LLC announces the release of SpotCheck 1.0 for the Macintosh.
SpotCheck is a language-based editor that “knows” the Java language. It is
designed to help a Java programmer produce correct code without relying on
confusing and untimely feedback from a compiler.
Specifically, SpotCheck identifies syntax errors and semantic errors
(undefined names, type mismatches, etc.) — those errors normally returned
by a compiler.

Subject: [ANN] Build Counter tool for tracking number of builds.
Okay, this is a hack.
I needed a quick way to increment a ‘build count’ in a Macintosh project
I’m working on. So one afternoon, I hacked this together.
It’s a Macintosh plugin for CodeWarrior that creates a 4 byte build count
resource in your Macintosh application. It’s specifically a post-linker
plugin, which is invoked after your application is linked.
