Below are some complete Pascal projects, including source code, resources, project file and running application. This source code is provided as-is, free of charge. If you have short questions about any of this code, you may e-mail the author, but please do not expect a tutorial on how to program.

The Ancient Cavern is an area reached from the whirlpool near Otto Godblessed's house. Players must dive into the whirlpool to enter the cavern, which contains many high-level monsters, including a high level metal dragon, the mithril dragon. Later only); on Mac OS X, XCode 6 or later; Project Chrono, for fully coupled fluid/solid and solid/solid interaction: version 3 or version 4 of the Chrono library are supported; GPUSPH can be compiled without Chrono support; moving objects with prescribed motion (e.g. Paddles and gates) and no force-feedback are supported in this configuration.

NOTE: Merlin's Tower is now being used as a repository for Free Pascal (FPC) projects as well. 'FPC' will be listed as a highlight for all FPC contributions.

Source Code Package	Highlights
GNU Regex, by Ryan Joseph Posted: 02-11-09 This is a FPC wrapper for the GNU regular expressions library. I didn't include a demo program because all that would contain are example expressions which one can find anywhere. I'm happy that after all my headache trying to get regular expressions in Pascal everyone can now use this.	- FPC - GNU expressions library - Event processing - Menu processing - HIView - Custom views
SkelView, by Ingemar Ragnemalm Posted: 11-02-08 SkelView is intended as an addition to View Manager (and thereby TransSkel). It is a simple interface to a plain HIView, using callbacks for drawing, mouse clicks and keydowns, in order to implement simple views. The big difference to ViewManager is that SkelView is for building custom views in a simple way rather than handling the existing ones. Instead of implementing a big event central, you write a few callbacks and pass them to SkelView.	- FPC - Carbon Events - Event processing - Menu processing - HIView - Custom views
Toolbar Manager 1.0, by Ingemar Ragnemalm Posted: 11-02-08 A module for simplifying toolbar programming. Application framework using the Carbon interface. Simplifies event processing, menus etc. It includes add-on units like TransDisplay (for logging) and ViewManager (for HIView management). Includes source and demo application.	- FPC - Carbon Events - Event processing - Menu processing - Toolbar management
TranSkel 4.0.1, by Ingemar Ragnemalm Posted: 11-02-08 Application framework using the Carbon interface. Simplifies event processing, menus etc. It includes add-on units like TransDisplay (for logging) and ViewManager (for HIView management). Originally written for very early MacOS, now modernized to modern Carbon. Includes a number of demo programs.	- FPC - Carbon Events - Event processing - Menu processing - HIView - TransDisplay
FPC Carbon Demos, by Richard Ward Posted: 8-10-08 This package includes 10 demo applications sampling various features of OS X implemented in FreePascal. The package includes the source code, NIBs and executable universal applications.	- FPC - Carbon Events - Core Graphics/Quartz - NIBs - File paths - Resizing windows
HICascadingView, by Ryan Joseph Posted: 7-9-08 HICascadingView creates a HIView like that found in the Finder's Get Info window. This example is written in MW Object-Pascal, and includes project file, source code, and demo application.	- Carbon events - Cascading Views - Various widgets
SplitView, by Ryan Joseph Posted: 7-9-08 This is a small demo using HIViews which opens a window and sets the panes for split views. This example is written in MW Pascal, and includes project file, source code, and demo application.	- Carbon events - Split view panes - Resizable panes - Pane toggle
New Skel, by Ingemar Ragnemalm Posted: 7-14-07 Lookalike for the old Skel demo, but rewritten from the ground up for modern Carbon. Carbon Events, nibs, menus. A reasonable skeleton program to build from, including stubs for the most basic event types.	- Carbon events - NIBs - Menus - Basic event types
API Wars, by Ingemar Ragnemalm Posted: 7-14-07 Graphics demo with attitude. In particular it is a CG demo covering more than the usual trivial rectangles, including loading images from files. It also shows, for the record, that QuickDraw is not as old-fashioned and uncapable as some people try to tell us.	- Graphics - Loading images from files - QuickDraw

Some of the recent scams that used bogus security alerts in a bid to frighten Mac users into purchasing worthless security software appear to have been the brainchild of ChronoPay, Russia’s largest online payment processor and something of a pioneer in the rogue anti-virus business.

Chrono Caverns Mac Os Downloads

Since the beginning of May, security firms have been warning Apple users to be aware of new scareware threats like MacDefender and Mac Security. The attacks began on May 2, spreading through poisoned Google Image Search results. Initially, these attacks required users to provide their passwords to install the rogue programs, but recent variants do not, according to Mac security vendor Intego.

A few days after the first attacks surfaced, experienced Mac users on Apple support forums began reporting that new strains of the Mac malware were directing users to pay for the software via a domain called mac-defence.com. Others spotted fake Mac security software coming from macbookprotection.com. When I first took a look at the registration records for those domains, I was unsurprised to find the distinct fingerprint of ChronoPay, a Russian payment processor that I have written about time and again as the source of bogus security software.

The WHOIS information for bothdomains includes the contact address of fc@mail-eye.com. Last year, ChronoPay suffered a security breach in which tens of thousands of internal documents and emails were leaked. Those documents show that ChronoPay owns the mail-eye.com domain and pays for the virtual servers in Germany that run it. The records also indicate that the fc@mail-eye.com address belongs to ChronoPay’s financial controller Alexandra Volkova.

Recent domain purchases tied to ChronoPay's fc@mail-eye.com account.

The leaked documents also have given ChronoPay’s enemies access to certain online records that the company maintains, such as domain registration accounts tied to the firm. Both mac-defence.com and macbookprotection.com were suspended by the registrar — a company in the Czech Republic called Webpoint.name. But a screen shot shared with KrebsOnSecurity.com shows that someone recently used that fc@mail-eye.com account to register two more Mac security-related domains that haven’t yet shown up in rogue anti-virus attacks against Mac users: appledefence.com and appleprodefence.com.

Perhaps Apple will have better luck than others who have tried convincing ChronoPay to quit the rogue anti-virus business, but I’m not holding my breath. As I noted in a story earlier this year, ChronoPay has been an unabashed “leader” in the scareware industry for quite some time. In 2008, it was the core processor for trafficconverter.biz, the rogue anti-virus affiliate program that was designed to be the beneficiary of the first strain of the Conficker worm, a menacing contagion that still infects millions of PCs worldwide. Last March, the company was at the forefront of another emerging scam, when it began processing payments for icpp-online.com, a scam site that targeted filesharing users and stole victims’ money by bullying them into paying a “pre-trial settlement” to cover a “Copyright holder fine.”

Update, May 29: ChronoPay responded by publishing a statement denying any involvement in the MacDefender attacks.

Apple has issued an official support note telling users how to avoid or remove Mac Defender malware. ZDNet also got hold an unofficial document that Apple apparently is distributing to its customer support personnel in charge of fielding complaints about the attacks. I should point out that all of the rules from my recent blog post Krebs’s 3 Basic Rules for Online Safety apply just as well to Mac users as they do to Windows folks. But #1 is the most important, and keeps Mac users out of trouble here: “If you didn’t go looking for it, don’t install it!”
