Software

A collection of freeware and open source Mac OS and Windows software. My Mac OS software officially requires Mac OS 8.1, but users of older versions can read the update resources page for further information.

I also have a small page of miscellaneous software in addition to that listed below – little tools, stone age programs and unfinished but usable applications.

Those wishing to work with the source code to the apps should read the developer notes.

Some boring pictures of my cross-platform improvements
