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.
ASICLIB: 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:

P.O. Box 2952
Raleigh, NC 27602-2952
AsicLib contains over 100 routines which add to the ASIC
compiler. It provides support for some EGA and VGA modes
that ASIC doesn't: SCREEN 8, 11, 12, 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 ch
