My personal projects

In the little sparetime I have, I often start programming something that I think I could use. Most of the time it becomes too complicated or it's easier to download something that does what I want, or more. However, every now and then there's a project that is worth mentioning.

Even though my heart lies with Linux, and not Windows, these programs are developed under and for Windows (or DOS). The explanation lies amongst others in the following facts:

  • Most scripting or utility like programs already exist or are easy to write under Linux, so writing them is just a waste of time. If you want to use the same kind of handy stuff in DOS or Windows, you often have to write it yourself.
  • Developing a (fancy) application in Windows is quite easy and allows people to concentrate on the idea of the application itself, not the implementation.
  • When you write a program (partly) for someone else... you have to write it for Windows (most people tend to 'use' Windows).
Because there's so little time to work on nice stuff, the projects will most probably stay "in development" for a long time. You'll have to decide for yourself wether you want to bother with browsing the subpages, or downloading the files.

The projects are listed below and in the bar on the left side of the screen. Each project contains a short introduction, possibly with screenshots, depending on the application or set of applications that it is about.

ProjectVersionRelease dateDescription
SET! 1.5.0 Juli 2001 A Windows cardgame which requires fast identification and reaction.
ScriptMail 0.4.0 September 2001 A Windows mail program. It enables you to send mail from the commandline (scripting) or if you wish, it presents a simple interface for sending mail.
DBViewer 0.5.5 Juli 2001 A Windows program that enables you to connect to a (known) database and execute simple queries in it.
SF Updater 0.9.5 November 2001 A handy utility that attempts to copy a (predefined) file to a (predefined) location, as soon as de destination is no longer in use.
Windows and DOS stuff none Soon General Windows or DOS (7.xx) utilities, commandline or with full GUI. But also (older) DOS utilities that don't need Windows...

Some projects are not ready to be released yet, or they are not in a convenient package (i.e. you don't know what you can do with them, until there's some kind of documentation). Most projects are in the "development" stage for a long time, but you can read about it on the projectpage. Finally: a version number below 1 often means the program isn't finished yet, or it can become much better. However, they do work and do what they are supposed to do.

If you download a package, please do not distribute it further without letting people know where it came from. Mirroring this site is quite useless since my provider is fast and reliable. What I wouldn't like is to see older versions of my programs on other people's pages.
