Xtools 1.0.4, a free update to Tenon's X Window Server for Mac OS X. Among the new features is enhanced ease-of-use via keychain support for secure shell, support of 8-bit applications and enhanced rootless display.

iTools update announced Tenon Intersystems has announced an upcoming version of its web server tool suite, iTools 6.1 for Mac OS X 10.0 and Mac OS X Server 10.0. Tenon's new iTools 6.1 will include an Aqua GUI that enables webmasters to set up and configure Apache directly on Apple's Aqua desktop. The new GUI co-exists with Tenon's secure, remote, browser-based administration, enabling webmasters to seamlessly switch between desktop management and anytime, anywhere browser-based control.

Post.Office coming Tenon Intersystems will be bringing Openwave's Post.Office to Apple's Mac OS X. Post.Office is a scalable SMTP/POP3/IMAP messaging server designed to meet the needs of small and mid-sized ISPs. Post.Office will be available on Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server 10.0 from Open Technologies in the fourth quarter and will be solely distributed by Tenon.

Taking orders for Maya Alias|Wavefront has announced that as of tomorrow, they will begin accepting orders for the Mac OS X version of Maya. They will of course be demonstrating it at Macworld Expo.

Font Reserve and OS X DiamondSoft informs us that they will be making "some important announcements with regard to Font Reserve and OS X" at Macworld Expo tomorrow.

Whining for and against OS X Writing in a new OS X-focused web site, Dave Feldman complains that Mac users who complain about Mac OS X "are a bunch of whiners." This has been a familiar refrain among OS X supporters in the Mac OS X Talk forum here at MacFixIt. Personally, we don't find it any more constructive than the whining that the article is railing against. But, as Dennis Miller says, "we could be wrong."

    Entourage to Mail At a more practical level, the same site offers a tutorial on "how to convert email between Entourage and Mail."

Quake 1.0 is an OS X port of this classic action game.
