This is a list of the products I have available. Most of these are shareware
libraries which may be found at your local BBS. Some are commercial and are
available only directly through me. The CATALOG.TXT file lists the ones that
are available on the Sampler disks, which are available for $5.00 (free with
any registration). See REGISTER.TXT for an order form.

The registered versions of each item come with full source code, which is
cleanly laid out, formatted and commented. BASIC source code is designed for
QuickBASIC 4.0+ or BASCOM 6.0+. Assembly language source code is designed
for OPTASM and will require minor modification to assemble with MASM or TASM.
Routines in the BASIC libraries may be in either BASIC or assembly language.

Aside from MATHWZ, the libraries for BASIC are mostly compatible with the PDQ
library by Crescent Software. More detailed compatibility notes are included
with the individual libraries.



ASMWIZ: The Assembly Wizard's Library

This is a library for assembly language. The library will work with A86,
MASM, OPTASM, and TASM. Only .COM files are supported. Routines include
text displays (machine-level, BIOS, and DOS), graphics (Hercules, CGA,
EGA), number base conversions, long integer math, file matching and
command-line parsing, pseudo-random number generation, countdowns and
delays, buffered file support with critical error handling, environment
scanning, string functions, mouse support, sound generation, control over
Break, loading of BSAVE-format files, and more.



BASWIZ: The BASIC Wizard's Library

This is a library for BASIC. It contains a numeric expression evaluator,
so you can convert an equation into a number; far strings, so you'll never
see "Out of String Space" again (EMS is supported too!); powerful file
handling, with optional buffering and built-in critical error handling;
telecommunications support, including DTR control, carrier detection and
more for COM1 - COM4; pointers and memory management, giving BASIC the
capability for flexible data structures long enjoyed by C, Pascal and
Modula-2 programmers; a virtual windowing system that gives you much more
than just windows-- change the size, move 'em around, scroll a window
around on a huge virtual screen, all smoothly and at lightning speed-- the
BASWIZ demo program gives some hint of what you can do. The virtual
windowing system is where BASWIZ really shines. To the best of my
knowledge, there is no better text display management system for BASIC.



GRAFWZ: The Graphics Wizard's Library

This is a library for BASIC. Besides replacements for the BASIC graphics
support for CGA, EGA, VGA and Hercules modes (no TSR needed), GRAFWZ adds
many new capabilities. You can print text and graphics screens on an
Epson-compatible printer or treat the printer like a graphics screen with
a special set of text and graphics routines. A selection of fonts is
available and can be displayed in any desired size. A pseudo-graphics
mode (80x50) is available for use on any display adapter. There are also
two new VGA modes that will work on any register-compatible VGA, which
allow 320x400 or 360x480 resolution in 256 colors (compare that to the
BASIC SCREEN 13 mode, with only 320x200)! Detect the current display
adapter, draw dots, lines, circles, ellipses, regular polygons... it's all
here, with detailed explanations and assorted example programs.



MATHWZ: The Math Wizard's Library

This is a library for BASIC. It provides extensive math support in three
areas: new or faster routines for BASIC's existing math, precision math
using fractions, and the ultimate in numeric precision: BCD math with up
to 254-digit numbers. Extensions to BASIC's existing math include inverse
trig and hyperbolic trig functions, the error function, constants and
conversions. Fraction math is fairly limited at the moment, supporting
little more than the basic four functions. BCD math includes much more
than such basics, though-- trig functions, square roots, factorials,
constants with hundreds of digits of precision, etc; formatted output may
be done to your specs. You can place the decimal point anywhere you want,
so this is perfect whether you deal in very large or very small numbers!



PBCLON: The PBClone Library

This is a library for BASIC. It is the successor to my old ADVBAS library
and to the commercial ProBas library. Over 300 routines and growing
rapidly, this library covers a little bit of everything: mouse support,
disk wrangling, string mangling, keyboard input, equipment detection,
graphics, a wide variety of display management, directory searching, text
compression, viewing .ARC/.PAK/.ZIP directories, matrix math, dates, times
and countdowns, and... well, it's hard to describe such a collection other
than to say "it's probably in here"!



PTCLON: The PBClone Toolkit (*** Requires PBCLON ***)

This library for BASIC is an add-on to PBCLON. For the most part, it
builds on the routines in the PBCLON library; for instance, where PBCLON
has routines for pop-up windows, input and mouse handling, the Toolkit has
bar menu, ring menu, and pull-down menu routines which integrate these
capabilities. There is also much that is entirely new, such as the date
manipulation and pop-up calendar routines, ANSI display helpers, and the
ability to write self-patching programs. This latter allows for program
configuration, installation of serial numbers, and other possibilities.
Simple BCD math support is also provided.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
