-
- This catalog lists files that are included on my Sampler disks.
- The Sampler is available for $5.00 ($1 + $4 p&h). This listing
- is representative, as items are added and removed over time.
- If you mention your interests when ordering, I will tailor your
- disks accordingly. Don't forget to specify disk size/capacity.
-
- Foreign orders must be by international money order, traveler's
- check, or otherwise payable directly through a U.S. bank.
-
- The Sampler fee does not include any shareware registrations.
- You are still expected to register shareware you find useful.
-
- In most cases, registration of a product provides you with the
- ability to upgrade to later releases at a reduced rate, as well
- as some additional benefit. This is often in the form of full
- source code, in the case of programming tools and libraries.
- Prices listed herein do not include the $4 postage & handling.

-
- 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 ($4).
-
- 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 a great learning tool.
-
- Source code (MASM 6.0) provided on registration. Registered
- owners may upgrade to later versions for $1.
-
-
-
- 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,

- 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 for DOS.
- These include disk routines and a powerful selection of time
- and date functions.
-
- Full source code is included.
-
-
-
- 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.
-
- Source code (MASM 6.0 and BASIC) provided on registration.
- Registered owners may upgrade to later versions for $10.
- Well over a megabyte of sources! Great learning aid.
-
-
-
- BPP: A BASIC PreProcessor. Free.
-
- This utility provides a powerful meta-language for PDS,
- QuickBasic, Visual Basic for DOS, PowerBASIC, 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.
-
- Source code (MASM) 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.
-
-
-
- IBRARY: Library for the 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:

- 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.
-
- Source code for Ibrary (MASM 6.0) provided on registration.
- Registered owners may upgrade to later versions for $1.

-
- KEYCTL: Keyboard Control. Free.
-
- For AT-class machines only (286, 386, 486, etc), 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 (MASM) is 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!
-
- Registered owners may upgrade to later versions for $1.

-
-
- 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".
-
- Source code (MASM 6.0 and Pascal) provided on registration.
- Registered owners may upgrade to later versions for $10.

- 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

- joystick support, SoundBlaster, disk wrangling, string
- mangling, keyboard input, equipment detection, graphics, a
- wide variety of display management, directory searching,
- text compression, viewing archive directories (.ARC, .ARJ,
- .EXE, .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"!
-
- Source code (MASM 6.0 and BASIC) provided on registration.
- Registered owners may upgrade to later versions for $10.
- Nearly two megabytes of sources! Great learning aid.
