Here is a listing of my software offered for download from this page. Please keep in mind that I'm not a programmer by trade, and only dabble a little with it. You won't find the next great "killer app" from me, no MS Office or Word! What I have done is make a few small handy DOS utilities that I find useful. Also, I tried to make a File/Directory managment tool a few years back, but with Windows introduction and its built-in tools, File Manager and Explorer, the need for another file management tool sort of faded. However, I have tried to keep Directory Wizard somewhat functional, and I still use it daily. Please don't flame me for these meager offerings! Flames will be appropriately doused with an equally vehement amount of digital water! Hehehe! Also, these little tools are freeware, use them however you see fit. My family has asked me not to rely on my programming skills to earn a living. I guess they recognize my limited prowess and have decided that food, clothing, housing and other niceties are more easily obtained if I keep my present career on track, hahaha! I do have a few little Windows tools, will work in Windows 3.1 or higher (at least it works in WIN95). WizCrypt is the Windows incarnation of WizCODE file encryption. Note that the 2 applications ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE! Files encrypted with one cannot be decrypted by the other, even with the correct password!

• Directory Wizard, file/directory managerDW 4.95 Directory Wizard is a small, fast file and directory manager for DOS versions 3 and higher. Fully customizable with included DWCONFIG utility, you can assign different programs for various file extensions. Even the display color is configurable to YOUR taste, not the whims of someone else! Can shell to DOS and run other programs ("file, run" command), uses less than 40 kb RAM when shelled to DOS. Doesn't slow performance or hog processor time, suitable for even the oldest XT right up through Pentium, at least to around 450 mHz.

• WizCODE, file encryption, DOS, simple small and fastWizCODE

• WizCrypt, Windows version of file encryptionWizCrypt f/WIN . WizCODE and WizCrypt are simple file encryption/decryption tools. Helps you keep your private files private. These are not "strong" encryption, if your girlfriend works for the CIA she will probably be able to decipher files encrypted with them. But for everyday use, they seem to be sufficient. They encrypt any file type, even image files, making the file unreadable to the casual passer-by! Caution! Don't forget the password used to encrypt a file! There's no way outside "brute force" decryption to decode the file. "Single pass" encryption, meaning the same password is used to decrypt a file encrypted with either WizCODE or WizCrypt.

• Wiz, a small, fast file viewer. Displays almost any type of file. Basically looks like you used the "TYPE MYFILE.EXT" command, but with horizontal and vertical scroll! No type of formatting, no directory browsing, must provide the file name at the commandline, such as WIZ MYFILE.EXT. Very small, only 1088 bytes (not KBytes!) Click here to download WIZ.COM, and, if you want something a bit more powerful for plain text file viewing, try ReadIt!

• ReadIt, simple ASCII plain text viewer, can be used to read emails, newsgroup posts in combination with NetMail DOS, GetNews or PostNews ReadIt . In addition to WIZ.COM's scrolling function, it also has directory/drive browsing and print functions. Does not format documents, this is for plain text only, so ReadIt will not work on PDF (Adobe Acrobat) or MS Word type documents.

• WizBOOT, Reboots your PC, has interactive as well as command-line interfaceWizBOOT

• MiniMidi, command-line DOS MIDI player, plays MIDIs through PC SpeakerMiniMidi Only plays 1 track/channel, as series of beeps. Not as good as a real MIDI device or a sound card, but if your system has neither, it may be a tad better than nothing!

• MiniMidi.APM, an Arachne APM of MiniMidi. Works in "offline mode" only, until EMBED tags enabled in ArachneMiniMidi APM

• Miscellaneous Utilities, MED multi-tasking environment detector(for BATCH programming), WizCHECK (check the 32 bit CRC of a file for corruption) Wizutil1.zip

• Wiz Graph, another graphical display of Windows system resources, more configurable, and can compact your global Windows memory Wiz Graph

• Task-Wiz Plus, a replacement for TASKMAN.EXE of Win3X, also works in Win95. Not quite a shell but more than the default task switcher! Hide/unhide tasks, arrange icons on desktop, start new tasks or Run a command. Task-Wiz +

• Wiz-It, a file splitter/joiner tool. Why would you need Wiz-It? Let's say you just found the download installer file for some great application. The download is 4 megabytes...you want to install the application on a second computer. You can't "copy" the file to diskette! Wiz-It allows you to split a large file into smaller pieces, then join them back together when needed! Even someone who doesn't have Wiz-It can join files split with Wiz-It, simply use the DOS COPY command with the /B option, to create binary copy. This method allows you to send applictions to your friends or even yourself on a different computer by email as attachments, over-coming the usual 1 or 2 meg limits imposed on email attachments by most email services! Wiz-It

• DeskWiz...a Win3X application which includes a notepad, a "to-do" list, simple calendar, an alarm, and an address book. It's not as complete as MS Office, but then again it doesn't take as much in the way of HD space or system resources. DeskWiz+

• Wiz AlarmClock, a simple alarm clock for Win3X and higher. Plays a WAV sound if desired, as well as display a message box with your personalized message! Wiz AlarmClock

• AOWiz, America Online Wiz, for anyone using AOL version 3.0, either 16 or 32 bit. Helps keep you on AOL, blocks Buddy Chat Invites, unwanted IMs and disconnect dialogues. AOWiz

The following software are handy applications I use which were written by someone other than myself...these files are property of their respective authors. I make them available from my site as a convenience to the Internet Community. I think you will find them useful as well!

• Icon Works Pro, by Lou Moccia. If you want a more powerful Win3X and higher icon creator/editor/extractor than Icon Wiz, try Icon Works Pro. No longer being developed, and the author no longer uses AOL. Still, one of the best icon applications I've used. Icon Works Pro

• DLLMAN, tells you information about DLL files, which DLLs an EXE may depend on, and more. NOTE: This is the 16 bit, Win3X, version. Although it will run on Win9X, if you have Win9X you may wish to try DLLMAN32. The 32 bit version also runs on Win3X IF you have the MS WIN32s installed! DLLMAN 16 bit or DLLMAN 32 bit

• FoxMail, a great email client for Windows. This is the 16 bit version. There is a 32 bit version available, check with the authors home page. Too many options to list here! FoxMail

• mIRC version 3.92, this is the last full freeware version of the famous IRC client by Khaled Mardam-Bey. This version may not have the latest bells and whistles, but for speed, it is fantastic. Both the 16 and 32 bit versions are included in the ZIP archive. The 32 bit version runs under MS WIN32s on a Win3X machine too! mIRC v 3.92

• L-View Pro 16, a multiple format graphics viewer/editor. Easy to use and setup, handles various graphic formats (GIF, JPG, TIF, BMP, PCX, etc.) I use L-View Pro to touch up my graphics images for various web sites, freeware! L-View Pro 16 Click to download.

• LHA, Version 255, English...a file archiver (compressor), freeware...you can even make self-extracting EXE files which are FREELY distributable, without having to pay any royalties to PKWare, NicoMak (WinZip) etc. LHA255E.EXE Download this file, then at DOS commanline type LHA255E to extract contents.

• Whack-A-Mole...sort of a silly game, BUT...it helps develop hand to eye coordination. Has helped my kids learn how to use a mouse much better than a regular "tutoring" program, plus they have fun at the same time! A good way to kill a few hours, hehe! Click Whack to download.

Please read any documentation included with these applications, as well as with any applications downloaded from the DOS Internet Page. Greater detail is given in the documents than I can give from this page.
