Over the years I've written a couple of programs. Here are some links to them. Some of them are stored here, others are on other websites.

All programs are freeware. They are fully functional, and no payment is ever (at least so far) requested. 

The one exception. Element Manager. It's a big program. If you find it of use I only ask you join AMSAT or send them a donation, should the guilt bug bite. But, don't feel obligated.

I've set up a general email announcement list at Yahoo Groups. This list is in newsletter format, meaning no posting from participants, just announcements from me. The purpose of the list is simply to announce updates to all my programs. If you are using one of these programs and want to be notified of updates then fill in the form below.

CountDown

A timer that gives elapsed time from a date/time in the past, and a count down timer for dates/times in the future. 

There's a radio talk show host in Denver who is obsessed (not really) with the fact that the millennium should be celebrated on Jan. 1, 2001. I won't enter the debate. But, he always gives the countdown to the millennium at the top of his show. I thought it would be fun to write a quick program to keep me informed of the same. This program is customizable in that you can enter and save a number of dates for the program to work on. Well, for the details, click the link. 

SourceCounter

This program will count and organize source code data about your visual basic projects.

Element Manager for Windows

Like the DOS version, this program can manipulate element sets. It adds some features but, it dispenses with lots of the automated processing available in the DOS version. First made available 11/4/98

Element Manager 2.2c
Version History

Element Manager is a satellite element manager. It's written in QuickBasic 4.5. The program is DOS based but works well under Windows. The main limitation to this program is that it will only handle satellite files with a maximum of  1000 element sets. I've recently had a request to increase this limit. But, the layout of Element Manager and the way it uses memory would make this practically impossible, without a complete rewrite. So, the program stays with this limitation. Sorry folks.

Maybe someday I'll start over in a more modern language and free up that limitation. But I really don't see that happening any time soon.

If you have a previous version of Element Manager and want to know what changes were made, download the History file for a listing of bug fixes and feature additions from version 1 through 2.2c
