I've got to a point where there's actually something for an end-user to look at. I refrain from saying "use" because that would imply "useful" 
I've posted an entry about it http://cocoarookie.wordpress.com/2008/11/27/metsfitting-progress/
Or you can just go and download it from the Google Code project http://code.google.com/p/mac-eve-tool-suite/downloads/list
Basically allows you to browse the ships in the database and see some (somewhat inaccurate, see blog for details) data on the ship.

the real problem is that the effort needed to make the windows programs work on mac is close to 0 compared to the effort required to make a new native osx program.
I have been thinking about making a program to help make sense of the trading, but being lazy I have decided to try all the excising programs first, and if I have to make 1 myself it will be windows based simply so that I can install it on my windows laptop as well. ____________________________________________________ Reality is for those who have no imagination. |

Love the look of this ... please keep it up. The shield recharge rate it in milliseconds so divide by 1000 to get seconds.

Write it in Java and it will work on all platforms.

Also everyone who would like a Mac, or Linux version of an EFT-like application should poke CCP into releasing an official data-dump in an open standard ANSI-SQL format rather than the proprietary Microsoft Access back up format they did asininely release it in.
Microsoft Access?!?
Unbelievable.
The sad part is that since CCP decided not to develop multi-platform, there will never be a native Mac client for EVE, however truly awesome that would be. It's just impossible to get that code base ported to the Mac [for anything less than a barking insane cost]. How terrible World of Warcraft is as a game, they at least got that part right.
If you ever complete that skill monitor I'd be happy to pay for it.

It's MSSQL, not Access. CCP uses MS's software, but they're not stupid. Furthermore it's fairly easy to convert the dump to other formats, and a MySQL dump is usually out within hours. ---- FREE Explorer Lead Megalomanic EVE Null-Sec Player Influence Map http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Veritefw/FWinf |
