My Projects
Stuff I work when I can find the time.
FileView Pro - my poor attempt at using QB to make a useful
file viewer for many type files. It's supposed to work like QuickView Pro, if you know that
DOS program. FV Views and edits any size binary file up to 2 gigabytes, views text files,
views BMP/GIF/PCX/JPG files, plays FLI/FLC animations, plays WAV/SND/CMF/MID sound files.
Deletes/Copies files. View/edit any file in binary mode. Source code is not included.

This is an old project I might reawaken. It's a QB compatible BASIC compiler made in QB.
It actually makes standalone EXE's, but right now the resulting EXE's can do very little.
So, if it's worthless, why am I sharing it? I'm just putting it up here for kicks, and to show
that it is possible to make a QB compiler in QB. If there's intrest, I might port it to FreeBasic.
The source code is not included here.

| CatChat CHAT Server/Client
|
A full-featured Chat Server & Client made using RapidQ. This is my attempt at
making a Leahcim type chat, such as the one this site uses here. It has many
of the same features - such as registered users, Notes, Private message, etc. I made it to talk to my
family over the internet who is scattered around the country. We've had seven online at once
and it worked well. I will put it up for download when testing is complete.

| SAYTIME - Talking Clock/Alarm
|
Another project made with the RapidQ Basic compiler. This little program sits in the system tray
and announces the time every 15 minutes. If you set the alarm, TARZAN will yell for you! A single EXE requiring
no installation, SAYTIME is a very simple program to use. It's a nice little thing to add to the startup folder.

| SmallWeb: Small & Easy Web Server
|
Need a small & easy to use HTTP web server? Try SmallWeb - a small 22k program requiring no installation
or setup. Run from anywhere on your pc - even a floppy disk! Put all your site files (html, gif/jpg, zip, etc)
into the same place and just start the program. It's that easy! No special configuration is needed. Allows up
to 255 connections at any one time. Requires a Windows 95 or greater system connected to the
internet. Comes with sample start page (index.html) and 404 error page (404.html) and
instructions (smallweb.txt).

BAV stands for (B)asic (A)udio (V)ideo files and it's my QB
version of Windows AVI Audio/Video files. The basic BAV format right now is only 320x200,
256 colors with 11k mono sound at 15FPS, and the QB45 Library under development now will
play such movies smoothly. An example of the BAV Library is below. It's Pres. Nixon
resigning the Presidency. * THIS IS A COMPILED DEMO ONLY *

A Christmas demo for the old code post site visitors in 2002. It's a screensaver showing a winter-scene
animation while playing 12 popular Christmas carols. I planned to much more with this, but time ran out.
If you have a sound card with an FM chip (like an old SoundBlaster) you'll hear the Christmas music.
Even without the music It's a nice screensaver to look at. Merry Christmas!

| Windows QuickBasic Knowledge Base
|
Many have found the DOS QB Knowledge base found here
very valuable. Unfortunately, some cannot make it work on their windows systems (I did not
make the DOS version). So, to help these poor QB addicts have an offline QBKB, I've created
this version of the QBKB for Win95 or higher. No installation is needed - just run as is.

All programs found here are provided "AS IS" and come with NO support, warrantee or guarantee of any kind.
Although they work for me, I do not know how they will work for you.
To use them the user must agree to assume all risks for any damages they may cause. I won't be held responsible.
To sum it up - you're on your own with these programs. So if while using them your PC blows up, the smoke
kills your dog, your eyebrows burn & fall off, and your wife leaves you for the fireman,
don't blame me for it.
