My Software Page

I have written a few small programs in Visual Basic 3.0 (so they are suitable for 16-bit systems such as Windows 3.x, as well as being usable under Windows 95/98), mainly to serve my own needs. You are welcome to download them and share them with others, if you find them useful. The copyright, however, remains with me.

Note that all of them require the Visual Basic 3 Runtime Library, VBRUN300.DLL, usually in your Windows\System directory or folder. Some of them also require two other files, CMDIALOG.VBX and COMMDLG.DLL, and Tickler may also require (if you are going to run it under Windows XP), two further files: VB40016.dll and oc25.dll. All five of these files can be downloaded in one Zip file from my "I Love Eudora!" page, or from below. They are also included (apart from VB40016.dll and oc25.dll), when needed, in the full installation programs for each of my programs where these are available (these full installation programs are necessarily much bigger than the basic program files, but take all the trouble out of installing the programs).

Note that these installation programs may come in 16-bit or 32-bit format: the only difference between the two is that a) the 16-bit version can be used on Windows 3.x, or Windows 95/98; while the 32-bit version will only work on Windows 95/98; b) the 16-bit version creates an "Uninstall program" icon in the program group, while the 32-bit version adds the installed program to the Installed Programs list in the Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs tab; c) the 16-bit version does not allow or understand long file names, while the 32-bit version does. The installed programs themselves are all 16-bit programs.

So the following programs are available:
Program description
Eudora Profiles v.2.1
This is a little program which enables users of Eudora Pro or Light to create different "profiles", so that a number of people can use the same copy of Eudora on the same computer, but each with their own individual set of mailboxes, preferences, etc.
For more information about this program, see the "I Love Eudora!" page.
Requires VBRUN300.DLL

Eudora Addressbook Manager v.3.1
This program allows you to manipulate address book files in Eudora Pro or Light more easily than in the Eudora program itself. It also allows you to extract addresses from messages stored in mailboxes, to find duplicates between different address book files, etc.
For more information about this program, see the "I Love Eudora!" page.

Tickler
This is a reminder program, in which you can set up reminders of important dates, either recurring yearly (such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) or one-off events. You can then set it to run when you start Windows, presenting you with a reminder of the important dates in the next seven days. You can also create, and later consult, a list of memoranda, such as bank account numbers, important telephone numbers, etc.
Requires VBRUN300.DLL, CMDIALOG.VBX and COMMDLG.DLL; also may require (if you are going to run it under Windows XP) VB40016.dll and oc25.dll.

Fuel Consumption Calculator
This is a small program to enable you easily to calculate your car's fuel consumption, in either miles per gallon (Imperial gallon, not US gallon), or in litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. You can use it starting from either miles or kilometres. At the request of certain users, it also shows the fuel cost per mile and per kilometre, and the total cost for this particular set of data.
Requires VBRUN300.DLL

Download Fuel Consumption Calculator installation program: 16-bit installation only (450 Kb)

Overseas Postage Calculator
This is a small program to enable you to calculate the postage required for letters, postcards, small packages and printed papers, to be sent from the United Kingdom to other countries. It comes with the correct data for the current date (June 1999), but this data may be changed as necessary. It comes also with the current list of available destinations: this may not be changed from within the program, but a future version will allow this.

To install the program without using the full installation program, simply place all three program files (Postage.exe, Countris.txt and Postdata.txt in the same directory.
