Windows Freeware

What follows are a few Windows programs I wrote with VB6 a couple years or more ago. They require the VB6 SP4 runtimes, but you can download the packages that include these. If you already the runtimes, or downloaded one of the programs with them, then please download the files without them after that, saving me some bandwith.

I will post these quickly, and put better descriptions here later on.


  My Calendar-- a simple appointment calendar. Handy for keeping little notes. For instance, my wife keeps her work schedules on it. (She is the lone Windows holdout in the family :)

with runtimes:
MyCal_Full.zip

without runtimes:
MyCal_NR.zip


  Abacus -- a text-based HTML editor with a bunch of nifty features. Drag and Drop image tags and a bunch of other stuff. Very "lean", but with a lot of ways to save time. Targeted for those who know what they are doing . Basically for someone who could write HTML in Notepad, but would rather skip some of the most tedious tasks. Click here for a few more details and a screenshot.

with runtimes:
abacusFull.exe

without runtimes:
abacusNR.exe


Gamma Adjuster -- a neat little utility. If you have a dim old monitor, or you want a quick way to brighten or dim your screen, check out this little guy.

with runtimes:
gammaFull.exe

without runtimes:
gammaNR.exe


  iMapR -- an image-mapping utility. I have to say that I am the most proud of this utility. I may have spent more time on Abacus, but iMapR was the best Windows programming I did. It may be written in VB, but it was all implimented via API calls, so it runs very fast.

Sadly, at this time I have misplaced the source code for this app, (which I wrote in '99) so please don't request any changes, as that seems unlikely...

One note -- you can drag N Drop images onto the program to start mapping them, or Right-Click on the app to get the Open Dialog.

with runtimes:
iMapR_SU.exe
