These are some small scripts, tools, programs I made during the last decade or so. You are free to use these small bits and pieces!

My Relationship

I was lucky enough to meet up with the most lovely and beautifull girl, she doesn't agree with me, but what the heck. She is a Scotish girl, born in Japan, and she live in EdinBurgh. I met her last year, and it was love at first sight, she still can't believe that I love her, I can only tell her that I do, and show it to her. I miss her a lot, it is difficult to have a long distance relationship, but she is so worth it!

YPoppingOE6 utility for easy usability of YPOPs and OE6

The YPoppingOE6 utility is written in the autoit3 scripting language.
The OpenSource program YPOPs allows you to get your email from the yahoo site into OE6 or another mail client. The YPoppingOE6 utility check's if YPOPs should be started, then YPoppingOE6 starts OE6. YPoppingOE6 keeps checking if you stopped OE6. when you are ready with OE6, and stopped it, then YPOPs is stopped also. This way you don't need to have YPOPs running in the background all the time.

VB6 Setup Bootstrap

I created a setup bootstrap program written in Visual C++ 6 for a setup program written in Visual Basic 6.
Rename the VB6 Setup.exe to Setup1.exe. The Visual Basic program (Setup1.exe) does the real setup, and the Visual C++ program (Setup.exe) does nothing more that checking if the VB runtimes (SP5)
are available, and if they are not installed, then the C++ program (Setup.exe) donwloads it from internet. Setup.exe gives the parameters to Setup1.exe when it is executed.
There is also so some language support. You can define the download address in the Visual Basic Setup ini file which is created when you build your setup with the Visual Basic setup utilities.

Exists check for SCSI device. (Amiga)

The Purpose of this program is that you can check if you have your cdrom/scanner or other scsi device turned on. This program give a standard RETURN_OK or RETURN_FAIL/RETURN_WARN return value.
Based on that you can perform some conditional actions, like mounting when the device is available, etc. I mount my devices from DEVS:DosDrivers, but when I forgot to turn my CDROM on I always got a lot of problems.
So when I didn't want my CDROM to be mounted, I had to move the MountFile CD0 to SYS:Storage/DosDrivers.

Transparent Icons (Win32For)

In 2003 I did some testing with win32for. I was looking for a forth that could create small windows executable's. I had been using cforth from Thomas Almy under DOS, which could compile forth into really small com/exe/sys files.
In 2003 I couldn't find a 32bit forth compiler which created small 32bit executable with the same ease and usability as cforth, which later was called ForthCmp.
Small program to make Windows Desktop Icons transparent. Test FindWindowEx, and commctrl with win32forth.

GeoIP for IPCop 1.4.18 and higher

I changed the geoip for ipcop so that unknown countries now show an empty transparent flag. The tooltip text for the flag images now shows the real country name instead of the two-letter names. I only changed a few lines of code from the geoip_ipcop_1.4.11.tar.gz packages.
