FX.php update

A new March 2002 release (no version number) of this free, open-source PHP class adds a "full set of character translation files," a "function to more easily configure which FileMaker password to use," and other enhancements. FX.php "makes FileMaker Pro Data accessible via PHP...by parsing the XML created by FileMaker Pro's Web Companion into a multi-level array. Once in this form, you can use PHP's powerful functions to sort, display, and otherwise massage your data."

jEdit

An XMacL reader has suggested this free, Java-based text editor as a useful open-source tool for working with XML under OS X. jEdit's features include syntax coloring for 70 languages including XML and XSL, a macro language, and unlimited undo/redo. Its developer strongly recommends that Mac users "use the latest MacOS X update (at the time of writing, 10.1.3) and the latest MRJ (at the time of writing, 3.2) to run jEdit," and notes that "for classic MacOS (9.x and earlier), Apple has stated they will not release a Java 2-compatible virtual machine for that platform. As a result, you can use jEdit 3.2.2, but 4.0 and later will not run."
