Each archive for download displays the archive filename and a brief explanation of what's in the archive. The archives themselves contain the actual executable(s) and a descriptive text file. The text file usually contains a more detailed explanation of what the program is for and what it does.
Disclaimer: I wrote all of these programs
myself, some using Turbo Pascal, others using assembler. Some of them may contain code
borrowed from other sources. All of them are being distributed as executable only for
various reasons. Some of the reasons include 1) the programs perform as designed but the
source code is too raw and unfinished for public viewing; 2) the source could be easily
modified by someone with less than lofty intentions to do real damage; 3) I used several
undocumented procedures which appear to work but I don't want to be responsible for
someone else using them in their program. I give these out in good faith; as far as I
know, these programs will not do any harm to any system (except as noted in the
documentation).

| Directory | Last Modified | Brief description |
| CHECKDSK | 10/19/1999 | This program will check the various little things that are necessary for a hard disk to be bootable, including the partition table, boot sector, FATs, root directory, shell program and boot files. If it finds anything wrong, it will tell you what, in detail, and will also make a recommendation on how to fix it. This program will NOT modify your disk in any way. Still need to add more reference boot/partition code images. |
| COPYDISK | 06/19/2000 | Creates an exact duplicate of one physical drive onto another, regardless of OS or partition type(s). |
| COPYDRIV | 03/06/2000 | Duplicates a logical partition onto another logical partition. Source and destination can be any size. Supports FAT16 and FAT32. Replaces DCOPY. |
| CPUID | 01/23/99 | Program to determine CPU & FPU manufacturer and model, speed, prefetch queue size, internal cache sizes and more. Detects CPUs from Intel, AMD and Cyrix. |
| DRIVERS | RSN | Collection of device drivers for use in CONFIG.SYS. Many emulate the DOS commands that you use in the AUTOEXEC.BAT (e.g. CLRSCR.SYS, PAUSE.SYS, ECHO.SYS). (Coming RSN) |
| DRIVINFO | 01/01/94 | Displays the CMOS settings, the partition table settings, and (for IDE drives) the Identify Drive settings in a tabular form, for aiding in setting up a pre-formatted drive in another system. |
| IDE | 01/08/97 | Displays results obtained from the Identify Drive command issued to the requested IDE device (0-7). This is the same information your BIOS uses when it auto-detects your hard drive type. |
| INT2 | 01/14/99 | Win32 based program for loan calculations. Given any three of loan amount, interest rate, monthly payment and loan length, calculates the fourth value. |
| KILL13X | TSR to temporarily disable Extended Int13 support. See COPYDRIV for more information. | |
| MANDEL | 01/14/99 | Quick and dirty Win32 Mandelbrot drawing program. Written in Visual Basic 5. |
| MOUSMIND | 09/26/97 | My version of the board game MasterMind©®. It might look primitive because it uses 16 color VGA graphics, but I wrote it all by myself and it works. |
| VIDTEST | 03/08/96 | Uses VESA modes to test video memory (up to 4MB). Requires a VESA driver (version 1.1 or better). |
| ZCOPY32 | 01/20/2000 | Beta version of program to duplicate one logical drive to another, where both drives use the same cluster size. Supports FAT16 & FAT32. Faster than COPYDRIV (see above). Designed for those upgrading their hard drives. |
I do appreciate feedback on anything I have written, as long as it is constructive in nature. Also, if you find any problems with any of my programs, or you feel they are not operating the way they should, please let me know about it. Include exactly what the program is/isn't doing and what version you have.
Please note that those programs specifically labeled as alpha or beta are not finished products and are just as liable to blow up as they are to work. However, the more people that use them and report back to me, the quicker they will be fixed and the quicker I can move on and write other stuff.
