Oregon State University: Terry Reese

As some of you might or might not have guessed, programming is something that I have done both as a profession, and now as a hobby. I write hundreds of utilities and tools a year for various people, often times because I have nothing better to do with my free-time. (Sad I know.) Anyway, as I get time, and space on our webserver, I will be posting a handful of programs that I have found, or am finding useful. Most of these are not library related (though applications could be found for some of these), and not all will be complete applications, but rather library's that perform a useful set of functions, that others can then build off of. These programs will be in a variety of languages, though Delphi, PowerBasic, and Visual Basic are my current languages of choice, and I will try to document and support them the best that I can.

SMTP Emailer: This is a command-line application only. I use it on my server at home, in conjunction with a script, to notify me when something suspicious is occurring. For more information, click on the link above. [Download Now]

Dialogs Library: This is something that I use whenever I need to use a Open, Save, Font, Print, or BrowseFor Dialogs. If you use VB, you get stuck using MS's Common Dialog Box ocx, which is a couple hundred kilobyte dependency file. If you use C or Delphi, you have to hassle with the callbacks. So what I did was encapsulated these API calls, callbacks, and error handling into this nifty file. For more information, click on the link above. [Download Now]

Winsock Library: This is a very simple library that wraps a number of the Winsock API into 6 easy calls. For those of you that use VB, this library will allow you do distribute you application without the Microsoft Winsock Control. Though I always would recommend learning how to manipulate low level Winsock API, this library does save some of the headaches. A sample vb program has been provide here. For more information on the library, click on the link above. [Download Now]

Cab/Zlib Library: This is a very simple library that wraps the built-in Windows ability to create and extract cab files with the ZLIB library's ability to create & extract zip files.. Documentation and sample programs can be found by clicking the above link. [Download Now]

Image Conversion utility (Windows XP): This is a specialized command-line application that I put together to do some batch image conversion. Anyway that can find a use for it more than welcome to it.
