This is a companion program for wdpv.exe (see above). Because many digital picture frames are quite small, it is important to crop the images you have so that the subject fills the frame and you get the best resolution possible. This is where cropit.exe is useful. It allows you to quickly custom crop/edit a folder full of images without the need for creating a duplicate folder or space-consuming copies of each image. It simply inserts editing instructions into the JPEG file's comment field without altering the file's bitmap data or time stamp. This allows you to undo or re-do the edits to any image. You use cropit.exe much like wdpv.exe: drop files or folders onto the program icon or double-click the program icon to see detailed usage. Cropit v1.08 now compiled with turbo jpeg lib v1.1.1 and gcc 4.5.2. | |||
| wresize.exe v1.06 (Win32, 1.99 MiB) Win64 Linux i386 Linux x64 |
 |
Easy-to-use picture re-sizing program. Just put it on your Windows desktop and then drop picture files (.jpg or .png) onto it. It will create new, re-sized pictures in a folder on your desktop (in Windows) that are perfect for e-mailing to friends so that you don't overload their mailboxes. Also has command line functionality. Does sharpening and can do gamma correction (from command line). Works with cropit.exe (see above) to produce re-sized images that are also optimally cropped. Wresize v1.06 now compiled with turbo jpeg lib v1.1.1 and gcc 4.5.2. Most options can be controlled through environment variables. Double-click to see usage. | |||
| wstitch.exe v1.02 (Win32, 626 KiB) Win64 |
 |
Stitches together two overlapping bitmaps to make one composite bitmap (optimizes the relative translation and rotation of the two bitmaps for the best overlay). The bitmaps should have about the same rotational orientation (to within a few degrees) and should have a significant enough amount of overlap that they can be aligned with each other based on overlapping features. Just drag the two bitmaps (jpeg, png, or bmp) to the wstitch icon. Ideal for making a composite bitmap from multiple scans done on a flatbed scanner, for instance. Not really intended for panoramic composites since no adjustments are made for perspective. Double-click to see usage. Wstitch v1.02 compiled with gcc 4.6.3 and has modestly improved optimization algorithm (3-10-12). Wstitch v1.01 compiled with turbo jpeg lib v1.1.1 and gcc 4.5.2 (7-9-11). | |||

v1.34 Version history Win64 Linux i386 (v1.34) Linux x64 (v1.34) HPUX Exe (v1.00) |
225 KiB | Yet another color directory program.
Works from the command shell in Windows.
Displays different file extensions in
different colors. The important feature of this utility
is that you can get a recursive list (-r) of a complete directory
structure and have the entire list sorted by size (-s), date (default),
or name (-n)--good for finding large files that are eating your
disk space or the most recent files in an entire folder and all its
subfolders.
Other features: -h (help) shows all command-line options -ext summarizes disk usage by extension type (.doc, .xls, etc.). Works recursively through subfolders with -r option. -g searches all files (binary or ASCII) for a pattern (recursively with -r option), like grep. -sum lists total space taken up by each subdirectory. -gs/-ds automatically creates batch files to process/delete every file listed. Plus there are options to list full file names (-ff), partial file names (default), or web-friendly file names (-fw) for cutting and pasting as a browser URL. Also prints out file sizes with comma separated numbers so you can easily tell how large they are (or use -nc if you prefer no commas). |

Version history Win64 Linux i386 Linux x64 HPUX exe (v1.14) |
 |
297 KiB | A backup (and restore--as of v2.00) program targeted for backing up one hard drive to another and meant to be run nightly (or periodically). The latest version now offers command line options to restore from a set of backups (see -rj or -rx options). Wlmback supports Zip64 (recommended), tar/gzip, and 7-zip so that backup archives larger than 2 GiB can be used. Backs up a directory recursively using zip (or 7-zip or tar/gzip) on a specified cycle of days (def = one week). Backup files are stored as zip (or 7-zip or gzipped tar) files. If run nightly on a one week cycle, then any snapshot of a file from any of the previous seven days can be recovered (good for when you accidentally delete or modify a file). Limitations: Although individual zip files (pre Zip64) have a size limit of 2 GiB, wlmback gets around this by using multiple zip files (numbering them sequentially) if necessary. So the total disk size that can be backed up has virtually no limit, but the total number of backed up files cannot exceed 2 billion, and no single file can be larger than 2 GiB. With Zip64, 7-zip, or tar/gzip, the 2 GiB single file and archive limitations do not apply. Info-Zip's zip 3.x and unzip 6.x will support Zip64. Run "wlmback -h" for a list of options and example usage. | Win32/64 Linux, HPUX (v1.14) |
| which.exe Win64 |
82 KiB | Win32 version of unix "which" command. Tells you where a command originates. Checks for doskey macros, batch files, .com files, and .exe files. I use it all the time. | Win32/64 | |
| httpget.exe | 83 KiB | Command line utility to get a file from an HTTP server using a web link. Similar to unix wget utility, which is also available for PC's (see my Useful Win32 Software page). I wrote this before I knew about wget. | Win32 | |
| numlock_on.exe numlock_off.exe |
113 KiB | Turn your numlock key on or off. Great for putting in your startup folder if you want your numlock key to be in a certain state after you log in. Works from the command line, too. | Win32 | |
| usnotime.exe |  |
93 KiB | Sets your PC's clock using the U.S. Naval
Observatory web site. Works through a proxy server. Has a non-interactive
mode for use with a scheduling program so that you can run it daily
if desired. Just download it and double-click
it for more info, or run |

CIA Adventure: Win32 exe Linux exe C Source BASIC Src |
56 KiB | This is a text-based CIA adventure game originally programmed for the TRS-80 by Hugh Lampert. I first played it back in 1980 when I received it on C-Load magazine (Oct 1980), which was a subscription magazine that sent subscribers TRS-80 programs on cassette tapes. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and after all these years, I dug up the original source code on the web (see trs-80.com or wurb.com) and converted it to ANSI C. Simply download, double-click, and enjoy. Or try it on my TRS-80 emulation page! | Win32 Linux TRS-80 Emulator |

Dungeons & Dragons: BASIC Src |
14 KiB | My version of a text-based Dungeons and Dragons game originally programmed for the TRS-80 by Peter Trefonas. This one came on the May 1980 CLOAD tape. It was another of my favorites, and I did a substantial modification to the game. Both versions are available on my TRS-80 emulation page. A detailed discussion of the game, along with a map, can be found at Chester Boilingbroke's blog. | TRS-80 Emulator | |

Adventure (New!) Advent.exe C Src (compiles under MinGW) |
131 KiB | This is the famous Crowther/Woods Colossal Cave Adventure game from the 1970's as ported mostly to C by Eric S. Raymond. I turned Raymond's port (v1.4) into a single C file which can be compiled by MinGW in Windows. Or, if you just want the dungeon.c and dungeon.h files without needing a Python/YAML converter, you can get them here also. Trefonas's TRS-80 Dungeon's and Dragons game (link above) clearly used this game for inspiration. | Win32 (C source compiles easily in Linux) |
