Download some of my free programs (enjoy and use at your own risk!!!). Note that documentation is sometimes provided in German language but the software itself uses generally English language. If there are specific questions, comments, feature requests or bug reports please email me.

Windows Mobile Applications
	This group of applications has been given its own page.

Windows 9x/NT Applications
	One of my programs, Font Xchange (161K), is a dynamic font management utility for Microsoft Windows.
	And there's another 'useful' utility that I have written - Flush 98 (44K). This program lets you remove all recently used entries from the Documents folder with a single click. Updated for Windows NT and TweakUI compatibility!
	Here's one for people who are looking up articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (e.g. using the TechNet CD-ROM) and want to get the URL for the article in order to access it on the Internet. Well, KBUrl (30K) is actually quite focused on supporting end users and most likely not very useful for end users themselves.

DOS Applications
	For those of you who are fooling around with different operating systems, here's a little helper: CopyBoot (6K) will save and restore the FAT boot sector of your hard disk. Important: Do NOT use with FAT32  or NTFS formatted disks!
	I've written a small DiskCopy (18K) utility which uses EMS/XMS memory to duplicate disks. In addition, it is capable of reading and writing floppy image files.
	Several years ago, I have written a compact BBS system called QuickBOX (244K). Its major features are remote configuration (full access to all commands), small footprint (fully installed uses about 500K of hard disk space) and an integrated DOS shell (emulation). There's even a library API for those who want to write QuickBASIC tools to enhance the system.
	QuickPOINT is an offline reader for the mostly Germany-based BBS network using the Zerberus software. This package (295K) introduced the offline concept for this BBS network and paved the way for even more advanced software of its kind (e.g. Crosspoint, which can also be used with Fido and other systems). QuickPOINT may also be used in combination with the QuickBOX software above and the Groehl mailer below.
	Groehl! (53K) is an add-on for QuickBOX, which allows some QuickBOX systems to be used as a small network or to create an endpoint in the Zerberus BBS network. It features somewhat limited email routing capabilities and newsgroup distribution. Since QuickBOX itself is not a Zerberus compliant system, you need to use QuickPOINT (or other Zerberus-compliant offline reader software) in order to post messages into the Z-Netz direction.
	Most NT users would like to be able to edit the boot manager configuration easily. So did I and wrote this NT FlexBoot Setup (32K) utility. Note: It doesn't work with Windows Vista's new boot manager!
	When I was still spending lots of my time on the DOS command line, I was looking for the 'ideal' editor. It should conform to the user interface of QuickC/BASIC which I was using most of the time. And because I couldn't find such a program, I wrote my own editor QuickEDIT (146K). Note: Due to QuickBASIC string storage limitations the maximum file size is limited.
	QuickEDIT features a context-sensitive help programming language which uses the QuickHELP (55K) compiler to create the final bytecode that QE interprets.
	I was a long time user of SHOW, a MASM sample application. When I was learning C, I wrote my own SHOW (15K) application which uses dynamic memory allocation with a double-linked list. It allows to load large files using up to all available DOS memory.
	QuickMENU (62K) is actually one of my very first PC applications. It is a shell for launching programs while still maintaining the flexibility to run DOS commands when required. Run with /HELP switch for option information and use F1 for some additional help. Use F2 to see some hardware info and press F3 thru F8 to interactively change the screen colors.

Developer's Scrap Box
	For developers, here's a toolkit (148K) for developing DOS based applications featuring a user interface closely resembling Microsoft's QuickC/BASIC. One of its primary features is a cooperative multitasking model allowing to print in the background, trigger timers... A word of caution: The toolkit isn't extremely well documented, but includes source code for a sample application which is commented in English language. It's intended for experienced developers using Microsoft C 6.0, QuickC 2.5 or QuickC for Windows 1.0 with large memory model. Using OLDNAMES.LIB, it should also be compatible with C/C++ 7.0 and Visual C++ 1.0. If requested, I may also provide libraries for other Microsoft C compilers. Please note that the library has not been ported to Win32 character mode, thus requiring a DOS box on Windows.
	Microsoft BASIC programmers who also use other Microsoft compilers such as C or FORTRAN will have wished for a program like CL or FL. Well, here it is! Compile and link (14K) with a single program.
