Table Of Contents

Solitair+ (1996)

This is truly a 'little' gem. Being a whopping 9.875 bytes (including documentation), or 2.972 bytes compressed as ZIP (estimated download time: 0.5 seconds on a slow modem). If it wasn't for this program, I would have never remembered what I did March 23, 1996.

I am currently trying to locate the source code (stored on a disassembled 386 in the attic), when I do it might be made available here.

LatijnWW (1997)

At a certain point, I got tired of the homework for Classic Latin. It mainly consisted of determining the meaning(s) of a conjugated verb. So I wrote a program which returned all possible meanings of a conjugated verb. It supports both 'normal' and irregular verbs. The only thing the program need to know in order to be able to conjugate it is it's stem, and very often (for normal verbs) the program doesn't even have to know that. The program come equipped with stems of all irregular verbs and the functionaility to add additional stems.

It requires VGA, supports SoundBlaster (for audible output of meanings) and standard printers. It is quite cool, for a homework tool, actually.

For example, the conjugated verb videris returns:

INDICATIVUS PRAESENS 2 ENKELVOUD PASSIEF
INDICATIVUS FUTURUM EXACTUM 2 ENKELVOUD ACTIEF
CONIUNCTIVUS PERFECTUM 2 ENKELVOUD ACTIEF

Generic Menu Application (1999)

Generic Menu Application is a Dutch shell which I developed to serve as a menu shell of a CD, distributed at the 1999 HCC Dagen. I fixed a few small bugs in 2001, and it is once again used on the HCC Dagen as a menu shell. The accompanying menu.txt explains how to customize the application.

The application has been compressed using PKLite32 Professional to prevent people hexediting the application.

MindMapper to eMindMaps Convertor (2001)

MindJet markets several mindmapping utility, including MindMapper, and it's junior and cheaper brother eMindMaps. MindMapper can read eMindMaps files, however eMindMaps can not read MindMapper files. MindJet supplies a viewer for MindMapper, and through that application and with a little help of this tool, you can convert it to an eMindMaps file.

Steps required to open an MindMapper file in eMindMaps:

• Download and install the free MindMapper viewer
• Open the mindmap in the viewer
• Select File/Copy to Clipboard/Outline
• Start convoutl.exe, it should return without warnings or errors
• Start eMindMaps
• Create a new mindmap
• Select Edit/Paste

Voila!
