Lightsoft Weather Center (LWC)

LWC is weather station software for Macintosh.

LWC is designed to work with hardware based weather stations (currently Davis Vantage range, Davis Monitor and La Crosse WS23xx range supported) as well as using Internet based weather sources to monitor two other locations.

Home Weather Center

HWC is a virtual weather station using Internet based weather sources rather than the more traditional and costly hardware based sensors.

As data is gathered and stored in its database HWC allows you to view weather statistics such as the lowest temperature, or the highest wind speed over any time period stored in the database. In addition HWC contains a journal for weather notes and can generate web pages containing current conditions, graphs, statistics and a web-cam image. HWC can upload these web pages to your server for display via a web browser anywhere in the world.

HWC also monitors the weather and can run a set of pre-defined and user programmed alerts that can trigger emails, send SMS messages to your mobile phone and/or run scripts should an alert trigger.

Fantasm/LIDE

Fantasm is a Macintosh 68K and PowerPC/Altivec assembly language development environment. It has been designed to make writing either 68K or PowerPC assembly language programs as easy as possible.

The assembler provides what's been described as an "awsome" macro processor making life easy for the seasoned programmer, whilst its large range of documentation, syntax colouring/hyper jumping editor and helpful error message enable the newcomer to assembly language to get up to speed faster.

It can also produce applications from C and C++ via Apple's MrC compiler.

We believe Fantasm is one of the most powerful assemblers ever written; but see for youself - follow the link to get more details, documentation, and to try it yourself.

LXT 

LXT is a 68K to PowerPC cross translator for use with Fantasm. LXT will take a 68K assembly language project and automatically translate it to a PowerPC executable or fragment, including Operating System calls.

Version 2 offers improved PowerPC code generation and the ability to generate code to check every read/write operation at runtime, thus ensuring outstanding quality assurance.
