Dashcode
http://developer.apple.com/tools/dashcode/ for more information.

—Available in all labs.
—Look under Applications Programming Apple Applications Dashboard

Dashcode is everything you need to create great Dashboard widgets. Built from the ground up with widgets in mind, Dashcode makes it easy for even a novice programmer to create a widget, give it a professional look, and package it up so you and your friends can enjoy your creation.

Dashcode is bundled along with Xcode in every copy of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), and the Xcode downloads starting with Xcode 3.0. However, Dashcode is able to create widgets that work on Dashboard for both Leopard and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

—Look under Applications Programming Apple Applications Dashboard

Dashboard is home to widgets: mini-applications that let you perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information. With a single click, Dashboard appears, complete with widgets that bring you a world of information — real-time weather, stock tickers, flight information and more — instantly. Dashboard disappears just as easily, so you can get back to what you were doing.

dataComet 10.0.1
http://www.databeast.com/ for more information.

—Available in all labs.
—Look under Applications Internet & Terminal dataComet 10.0.1

dataComet-Secure VX for OS X offers fast, reliable terminal emulation for local Shell sessions, Telnet, SSH1 & SSH2, and serial devices.

  • Telnet sessions offer Kerberos 5 and SOCKS v4 security options
  • Supports both SSH1 and SSH2 sessions with strong encryption + SCP file transfer
  • Security features allow better local security than Terminal; e.g., you can allow Telnet and SSH use while denying users access to Shell sessions on Kiosk machines
  • Emulates VT100 - VT320, PC-ANSI, SCO-ANSI, and IBM-3279 for mainframe access
  • Extensive file transfer support: SCP, X/Y/ZModem, IBM IND$FILE
  • Edit windows for off-line composition with easy paste-thru to emulator windows using the Enter key
  • Thorough on-line documentation (500KB of text)
  • On-line help: pressing Control and selecting a menu or dialog item fetches the documentation for the item
  • Powerful AppleScript and macro support with automatic macro recording and an easy-to-use key remapping dialog
  • Modeless dialogs ease session configuration
What's new in this version:
Bug fixes include improved SSH2 and Shell session security, faster scrollback buffering, better support for automatic reconnects, and improved EMACS key handling.

New features include support for mouse wheel events, a full 16-color background option for VT100/VT220/VT320 sessions, and new security macros which allow dataComet-Secure VX to be configured for Kiosk applications where you need to allow users to make SSH connections, but deny them direct access to the Shell layer.

DiskErase
http://www.cmu.edu/computing/project/macosx/Tools_Created.html for more information.

—Available in all labs.
—Look under Applications Utilities DiskErase

Apple provides a "Disk Utility" application to format disks, but it expects to have administrator privileges to be able to do anything. These privileges are not required by the underlying operating system merely to erase removable media. Carnegie Mellon University provides an application called DiskErase to allow users to erase and re-format removable media without needing to be administrators. The installation provides support for erasing floppy, Zip, LS-120 (SuperDisk), and DVD-RAM media using various invocations of Apple's "disktool" and "newfs" commands. Via another mechanism, DiskErase allows erasing CD-RW discs, so they can be burned again. DiskErase provides a reasonable user interface for detecting media inserted and ejected while it is already running, as well.

If you deploy Disk Erase at your site, you may need to customize a stanza in the source code which translates low-level device names to human-readable device descriptions; otherwise, the user will be presented with only the low-level device name, which is less than useful for differentiating between drives attached to a machine. Many popular devices, as well as some others Carnegie Mellon University has in their clusters, are already supported, but this does not guarantee it is ready for use at your site. For more information, look at the comments in the source code.

Disk Erase is not future-proof; it depends on a private framework to detect disk insertions and provide a user-friendly response to them. This framework is not guaranteed by Apple to maintain the same API in future versions of Mac OS X. It is possible that Disk Erase will need to be updated for future OS versions.
