tribalmedia iShell 4.5

Tribalmedia has released iShell 4.5, a new version of its development software for multiplatform CD and DVD projects, kiosks, digital signs, and internet applications. The company is specifically targeting owners of Macromedia Director with the latest version, offering a "crossgrade" program in which iShell is less than half the normal price ($300). Tribalmedia is hoping to garner market share from Macromedia by touting the fact that iShell is now a Universal Binary, whereas Director is still a PowerPC-only application that must be emulated by Apple's Rosetta software on Intel-based Macs. Other changes include dynamic font loading, quick button/menu creation, and a restructured program core which improves speed on both Intel and PowerPC-based systems. The program requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 with QuickTime 6.0 or higher pre-installed.
