Tools and Toys
Over the years, I've written a few handy utility and entertainment programs which, I hope to share with the internet community via these pages. Some have become dated and should be converted from Visual Basic 6 to VB.net, but with new projects I have in mind, it's pretty doubtful that will happen.
Here are a few Handy Tools:
|
| FixText | tYPE iT wRONG? With FixText on your "Quick Launch" bar, help is just a couple of mouse clicks away. (Visual Basic 6 Application) |
| PPK | A POP Mail Peeker/Deleter. If you check your personal email during the day, but "Leave it on the Server" to allow access from home, PPK allows you to selectively remove POP messages from the server, avoiding the need to handle them again from home. (VB6: Does not support SSL POP connectivity.) |
| vbnotify | A (System tray) POP Mail checker that works much like Netscape's nsnotify.exe. It works well with Mozilla.org's Thunderbird email program, but may also be used with other email programs. (VB6: Does not support SSL POP connectivity.) |
Here're a few toys that I've created over the years:
| FeeCap | Extendable Race Handicapping Software For PalmOS.
(PocketC sources are included.) |
| TCPx | A Three Card Poker Solitaire Game written in VB 6.0. |
| VBEE | VB Enigma Engine. This is a Visual Basic variant of the three and four wheel ciphering machines used by Germany in World War II.
This version supports one machine. The next (if there is one) will support parallel or serial ganging of multiple machines. (VB6) |
