Download 4FreeImage.zip V3.01 ( Last update: March 05 2008)
This program needs Win32Forth version 6.12 or better.
Win32Forth version 6.12. or better, can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32forth
The viewer shows you images one by one or in a slide show.
The following files can be shown: *.bmp; *.jpg; *.ico; *.pcd; *.psd; *.pcx; *.ppm; *.pgm; *.pbm; *.png; *.ras; *.tga; *.tif
The program is also able to save them as a bitmap.
Compile 4FreeImage.f to generate a turnkey application.
Changes this version:
Added rotating, flipping, zooming and moving in the viewport.
On a fast PC zooming gives the same experience as turning on a zoomlens to change magnification.
Keep Ctrl pressed and press the UP or DOWN key to zoom in or out.
Zooming etc. also works in fullscreen mode
Now you can go forward or backwards in a manual slideshow.
Also added:
- an endless automatic slideshow.
- a fullscreen mode.
- accelerator keys to the menus.
- a popupmenu.
- a SUI ( Social User Interface ).
When you would like to show a number of pictures you are no longer hooked to your PC or mouse anymore.
You can be sitting beteen your friends showing them your pictures
using a full screen and a remote 10 button joystick to control the slideshow.
That could be nice when your PC is also connected to your HD TV or an other big screen.
It is also possible to rotate, flip, zoom and move a picture using the joystick.
Hit button 4 of the joystick to zoom in.
Other functions and the needed buttons of the joystick are shown in the menu between parentheses.
Push the Joystick to move the picture in the viewport.
Open a picture before starting the slide show.
Read readme.txt for a number of tips and notes.

Download 4thclockv201.zip
A clock which shows important days and will generate a sound, or signal at a previous defined time. It can be used as an intelligent alarm clock. 4thclock.exe can be used at 2 levels. When it is restarted, it will continue its tasks. Old settings will be restored when restarted. Just click and run, there are no questions to answer. A complex user interface is avoided by using an ini-file. You do not need to modify it when you use 4thclock.exe on an easy level. OpenGL generates the 3D graphics. Click with the right button in the window of 4thclock.exe for a menu.
Compile _4thclock.f ( note: the underscore ) for testing, changing or a turnkey application. The thinking behind the hole programs was to explore what is needed when a database is used which is not in the dictionary.

Download bmpwindow.zip ( September 20th, 2008)

Started as a one-liner :-)

Download fcp3D.zip ( Last update: June 16th, 2004.)
A 3D chess game in an OpenGL environment. Screenshot here.
The chess engine was ported by Ian Osgood.
Ian granted me permission to use his source. For which I am grateful..
Most important features:
- An opening book ( New in this version.)
- Choose to play black or white.
- Autoplay, endless Autoplay.
- A hint.
- Switch color by telling the program it does not play the current color anymore.
- A reasonable random first move for black or white to avoid a dull play.
- Rotate board.
- Change the level of ply depth.
- Change various parameters of the 3D OpenGL environment.
- Uses a small part of a fractal as a texture.

Enter your moves in the text-box of the window Chess commands.
eg: e2e4 and press <enter> or hit the OK button.

The interface I used is able to translate ASCII characters into various 3D shapes in a 3D environment.
fcp3D is only one implementation.
As soon as you understand how it is done you could use the interface for many (perhaps all) boardgames that can be compiled with Win32Forth.
In the background there is the OpgenGl part, which allows you to zoom, etc...

Download fmacro.zip ( Last update: May 26th, 2003)
Contains fmacro.f, and a profiler.
Fmacro.f is an extension for Win32Forth to speed it a bit up.
Do not use fmacro.f when you are just starting to use Forth.
It is fast but hard to debug.
As soon as you are used to Forth you might like it since it is possible to translate Forth like statements into inline code which might be 5 times faster than high level Win32Forth depending on your code.
A number of benchmarks are included to demonstrate fmacro.f
Release information: Now fmacro.f is able to remove unneeded pops and pushes on a number of occasions. Sieve is more than 5.3 times faster then 'standard' high level Win32Forth code.

Download hibernator.zip ( Last update: September 14th, 2005)
This program needs Win32Forth version 6.11.04 or better. Win32Forth version 6.11.04 or better, can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32forth
The hibernator might safe you energy costs. EG: A process needs much time to compute. When it is complete the process becomes idle. The hibernator is able to spot this and will try to put the PC in the hibernate state after one minute.
NOTE: The program has only been tested under XP Professional. There is no support to configure your windows system in the right way as is described in the helpwindow.

Download infix.zip
Enables you to use 2 + 3 * 4 / 5 instead of 2 3 4 * 5 / +
At the end of the source are examples about calculating interest.
It is also possible to use infix.f to make a formula faster.
The example quadraticroot.zip shows how this can be done.

Download Juliav43.zip . ( Last update: April 5rd, 2004. )
Juliav43 draws various Julia and mandelbrot fractals. Compile Julia_tk.f for a new turnkey application or compile Juliawin.f and type .Julia ( Note: do not forget the dot )
In this version:
- Added an auto-installer and and icon for the desktop in dtop_lnk.f
- Adapted the program for Win32Forth version 6.09.04.
It will also run on Win32Forth version 4.2.
