This is a list of some of the software which I have written.
This software, or a similar collection (things get added or
removed over time) will be sent to you free if you register any
of my shareware products, or you may order a set of disks for
$5.00 (foreign orders must be via international money order and
include $4.00 shipping). This does not include shareware
registration fees, if any. You are still expected to register
any shareware that you find useful. The $5.00 Sampler fee may
be applied toward any registration.
The registered versions of each library come with full source
code-- often a megabyte or more, providing an excellent
learning opportunity for beginners and old pros alike.
Assembly language source code is designed for MASM 6.0 and may
require alteration to assemble with A86, OPTASM, TASM, or older
versions of MASM. DOS BASIC source code is designed for
QuickBasic 4.0-4.5, BASCOM ("PDS") 6.0-7.1, and Visual Basic
1.0, or for PowerBASIC 3.0, depending on the library. Pascal
source code is designed for Turbo Pascal 6.0 or Quick Pascal
1.0, but should compile with Turbo Pascal versions dating back
to 5.0 (and, of course, newer versions as well). Windows DLLs
are currently written in Microsoft C 7.0, but this may change
in the future-- I am not at all happy with this compiler or its
so-called documentation.
2MON: Utilities for dual-monitor systems. Free.
Utilities include a clock TSR which runs on the mono
display, a utility to clear the mono display, and a TSR
which remaps the PrintScreen key-- instead of going to the
printer, it copies the color display to the mono display.
AABAS: Affordable Alternative BASIC Library. Shareware ($8).
This is a good library for people curious about the workings
of their computer, learning how to use libraries, or
interested in writing their own assembly language routines
for QuickBasic. It is a collection of scores of simple BIOS
and DOS-related routines written in assembly language.
AABAS is not as fancy as my other BASIC libraries, but it's
quite useful in its own right and makes a great learning
tool.
IBRARY: Library for David A. Visti's ASIC compiler. Shareware ($8).
This library is for ASIC 4.0 and later versions. If you
haven't seen ASIC, it's a shareware BASIC compiler which
provides both command-line and editor/environment support.
It can produce .COM, .EXE, and .OBJ files. For more info
about ASIC, write its author:
David A. Visti
P.O. Box 2952
Raleigh, NC 27602-2952
IBRARY contains over 100 routines which add to the ASIC
compiler. It provides support for the full range of color
graphics modes: SCREEN 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, N0, and
N1. The latter two modes are special 256-color modes which
provide up to 360x480 on standard VGAs! A large set of math
extensions, equipment detection routines, mouse support, DOS
output, string functions, and other goodies is also included.
ASMWIZ: The Assembly Wizard's Library. Shareware ($25).
This is a library for assembly language. The library will
work with A86, MASM, OPTASM, and TASM. Only .COM files are
supported. Routines include text displays (machine-level,
BIOS, and DOS), graphics (Hercules, CGA, EGA), number base
conversions, long integer math, file matching and
command-line parsing, pseudo-random number generation,
countdowns and delays, buffered file support with critical
error handling, environment scanning, string functions,
mouse support, sound generation, control over Break, loading
of BSAVE-format files, and more.
BASUPD: BASIC Update Library. Free.
This library provides routines for QuickBasic 4.x which
mimic new functions and commands provided by other Microsoft
BASIC compilers, such as PDS 7.x and Visual Basic. These
include disk routines and a powerful selection of time and
date functions. BasUpd comes with full source code.
BASWIZ: The BASIC Wizard's Library. Shareware ($35).
This is a library for Microsoft BASIC compilers: QuickBasic,
PDS, and VB/DOS. It contains an equation solver; far string
support (even for QuickBasic!); powerful file handling, with
buffering, critical error handling, and sharing support;
telecommunications for COM1-COM4; memory management and
pointers; a virtual windowing system without parallel...
Extensive graphics support is built in. It handles all
standard modes: MDA, Hercules (no TSR needed), CGA, EGA,
VGA, SuperVGA (Tseng 4000 and VESA), Epson-compatible dot
matrix printers, and HP-compatible laser printers. Printer
graphics output can be previewed on the display. Special
non-standard VGA modes are included, providing up to 360x480
graphics in 256 colors on ordinary VGAs. Fonts, polygons,
multi-colored text-- it's all in here, and more.
BasWiz math support will handle even the most demanding
applications. It extends BASIC's own math and provides two
other alternatives: fraction math and BCD support. With
BCD, you can have up to 254 digits! This is no minimal
four-function BCD package, either. It includes a wide range
of support, including many trig functions, constants, and
conversions. Equally good for huge and tiny numbers.
PBClone uses a low-level approach, giving you the greatest
flexibility possible. BasWiz uses a higher-level approach,
giving you more power for less effort. These libraries can
be used separately or together.
BPP: A BASIC PreProcessor. Free.
This utility provides a powerful meta-language for
QuickBasic, BASCOM (including "PDS"), and even the QBASIC
provided with DOS 5.0. It processes your code before the
compiler gets to it, allowing conditional compilation,
underscores within variable names, flexible "include" files
(which may even contain SUB and FUNCTION definitions), name
substitutions, and more. C programmers have had
preprocessors for years-- now there's one for BASIC too!
EXECOM: EXE-to-COM converter. Free.
Like EXE2BIN, this utility converts .EXE files to .COM
files. It's smaller and faster, though, as well as offering
a few additional conveniences. Assembly language source code
is included.
EXETOOL: EXE Tool. Free.
This program examines .EXE files for validity and can tell
you whether the .EXE was designed for use with Microsoft
Windows. If the .EXE file is determined to be too long, as
it might be if you got it using an older file transfer
protocol, you are given the option of truncating it to the
right size.
KEYCTL: Keyboard Control. Free.
For AT-class machines only (286, 386, 486), this utility
allows you to speed up your keyboard (or make it less
sensitive for kids, etc). You can also swap the positions
of the CapsLock and Left Ctrl keys, useful for civilizing
the 101-key "enhanced" keyboard. Assembly language source
code included.
LIBWIZ: The Library Wizard's *BASIC Library Manager*. Free.
This is a management tool for handling and customizing BASIC
libraries. It allows ready creation of subsets of existing
libraries, automatically resolving any interdependencies for
you. Tools for updating and extracting from libraries are
also included.
LibWiz is strongly recommended for my BASWIZ and PBClone
libraries, due to the vast number of routines involved.
OBJTOOL: OBJ Tool. Shareware ($10).
This must be the ultimate tool for manipulating .OBJ files.
You can select files for inclusion or exclusion using
wildcards, time, date, and size comparisons, and even the
results of a search through the .OBJ file. View the file's
stats, rename publics, externals, and default libraries,
delete default libraries and languages, check for validity,
repair checksum errors, ObjTool has it all. Useful for
reducing the size of libraries, resolving conflicting
routine names, patching .OBJs and just snooping around!
PASWIZ: The Pascal Wizard's Library. Shareware ($25).
This is a library for Turbo Pascal and QuickPascal. It
provides high-powered math routines, new string support,
mouse management, music, BCD math, and other routines.
The math routines provide a numeric expression evaluator
which allows you to convert equations into numbers at run
time. The math capabilities of Pascal have been expanded
significantly with new trig, inverse trig, hyperbolic trig,
and other functions. For the ultimate in numeric precision,
BCD math is also provided, allowing you to manipulate
numbers of up to 254 digits-- not just with the basic four
functions, but trig, square roots, factorials, constants
with hundreds of digits of precision, etc; formatted output
can be done to your specs. You can place the decimal point
anywhere you want, so this works equally well with very
large and very small numbers. String support includes
compression, encryption, fuzzy comparisons, and other
goodies. The music manager works like the BASIC PLAY
language and BBS "ANSI music".
PBBACK: The PB Backwards-Compatible Library. Shareware ($25).
This library is like my PBClone library, but is compatible
with the full range of QuickBasic compilers: QB 1.0 - 4.5.
It is much easier to set up than PBClone but does not
support all newer compiler features and offers some 300
routines. See the description for PBClone, below.
PBCLON: The PBClone Library. Shareware ($35)
This is a library for Microsoft BASIC compilers: QuickBasic
4.x, BASCOM and PDS, and Visual BASIC for DOS. It is the
successor to my old ADVBAS library. With over 550 routines,
this library covers a little bit of everything: mouse
support, disk wrangling, string mangling, keyboard input,
equipment detection, graphics, a wide variety of display
management, directory searching, text compression, viewing
archive directories (.ARC/.ARJ/.LZH/.PAK/.ZIP/.ZOO), matrix
math, dates, times and countdowns, sorts, binary searches,
graphics, and... well, it's hard to describe such a
collection other than to say "it's probably in here"!
PBClone uses a low-level approach, giving you the greatest
flexibility possible. BasWiz uses a higher-level approach,
giving you more power for less effort. These libraries can
be used separately or together.
PBCWIN: The PBClone Windows Library. Shareware (1993: $19.95).
This is a DLL for use in programming for Microsoft Windows.
It is oriented specifically towards Visual Basic, but can be
used with other Windows languages that support DLLs if you
know what you're doing. There are 79 routines in the first
version, including bit manipulation, array initialization,
PEEK, POKE, and SWAP routines, checksums and CRCs, equipment
information, string testing, and more.
PBWIZ: The PowerBASIC Wizard's Library. Shareware (1993: $25).
This is a library of some 300 routines for Spectra's
PowerBASIC 3.0 compiler. It includes archive viewing (for
ARC, ARJ, EXE, LZH, PAK, ZIP, ZOO), disk directory viewing,
256-color graphics modes (320x200 and 360x480 on any VGA,
more on SVGA or VESA), read and write .BMP pictures, mouse
and keyboard control, EMS and XMS memory access, equipment
detection, extended math and string routines, an equation
solver, ANSI emulation, et al.
QBWIZ: The QuickBasic Wizard's Library. Free.
A collection of routines which allow you to access internal
variables for QuickBasic 4.x, BASCOM 6.x, and PDS 7.x. You
can retrieve the screen mode, display adapter type, DEF SEG
setting, I/O redirection status, current screen colors, and
many other useful values.
VCLOCK: Video clock TSR. Free.
This tiny TSR provides a running display of the time. You
may specify screen position, 12 or 24 hours, whether to
display seconds, the colors to use, and other parameters.
Two versions are provided-- one for 8088 PCs and one for
later machines. Assembly language source code is included.
