If you had ever used iSync, probably you’ve been asked to resolve a sync conflict at least one time: the panel shown to the user contains two boxes , mutually excluded i.e. you can only choose one of them.
DZSelectableBox is a subclass of NSBox view which emulates this behavior.

Many of you reported that YABI was expired, so I took the decision to unlock this version, even if it’s still an alpha version.
Some months ago I found another way to sync our events with iCal, which doesn’t need manual operation; I quickly wrote a new version, tested and it seems to be stable and functional, but it misses graphical interface like the previous alpha 9.
This version appears as a preference pane and installs a sync-agent which is automatically alerted by the operative system about changes to your address book.

“Internet Address Fields” is a collection of three Cocoa classes, inherited from NSMatrix, which look like an NSTextField with an particular NSCustomFormatter.

È noto che per aggiornare aggiornare il sistema operativo, i ports e la documentazione, il team di FreeBSD abbia messo a disposizione il cvsup, una delle tante possibili evoluzioni del CVS (Code Versioning System).
