As I surf the net, I come across various things that I wish someone had told me about.
In theory, one day it will all be available in the polished sections of my
website. In the meantime, if you're willing to 'dig' through some disorganized
material, you may be rewarded with 'gems'!
In some cases, the text is snipped from other sources. Therefore, among other
things, the personal pronoun may not refer to the editor of this page. If, on the
other hand something is identified as coming from 'TKB', he IS the pages's editor!
Ad from page's editor: Yes.. I do enjoy compiling these things for you...
hope they are helpful. However.. this doesn't pay my bills!!! If you
find this stuff useful, (and you run an MS-DOS or Windows PC) please visit my freeware and shareware page,
download something, and circulate it for me? Links on your page to
this page would also be appreciated!
Why does this site cause a script to run? I have my web traffic monitored for me by eXTReMe tracker. They offer a free tracker. If you want to try it, check out eXTReMe's site
Some other activity may result from my "Link Exchange" banner ad. I signed up for this a long time ago, and haven't got around to removing it. Other than that, what you get is what you see! I don't inflict cookies on you, except via my Link Exchange links.

Air traffic control simulators:
Tower was once published by BAO , I think around 95 or so. There is
also some information available about ATC Sims on this page
http://www.xnet.com/%7Ecrisj/links.html
Under Simulation / Apollo you will find a vendor for the Tower
Program.
Excellent, if you can find it: Tracon. (A "toy" created by cutting down a commercial ATC operator training package.)

I have converted several shareware programs to freeware. They do many useful
things, such as:
1) edit, cut, paste files in binary mode up to 2 gig in size on network
drives
2) use Novell fileserver calls for copying
3) view printed reports in 132 column VGA mode, page by page
4) neat utilities for building complex batch files from dir scans and
byte string search
5) bookmark editor to merge Netscape and Explorer
6) replacement for XCOPY and NCOPY with many options such as file exclude,
ERRORLEVEL exit, and report generation for completed backup
7) others
I plan on adding more once I add a little documentation to them.

"What's the difference between SharePaper and other software sites?
Many software sites offer impressive amounts of programs to download.
Both high and low quality software. SharePaper, however, reviews and
rates (on a scale from 1 to 5) the best software only - never risk your
wasting time downloading crap again! You'll also find tips, game cheats
and lots of software related links here."

Text is extracts from a newsgroup post....
"(at my site) are some DOS programs I wrote, free of charge. They meet specific
needs I have. Each is the actual EXE file, and there is no installation
process. Documentation exists as an option within each program. Rather
than attach a description file with each, descriptions can be read here.
Invoke each program with /? as an argument for brief help.
"Make regular visits here. Programs are updated and new ones added. If you
have a problem with any program, or would like to suggest an improvement,
email me at mcdivitt@iamerica.net with your comments. I will get back to
you as soon as possible.
"David G. McDivitt assumes no responsibility nor liability for any
use of these programs.
"In the interest of keeping the DOS shareware industry in general, and our
little segments of it in particular alive, Lindsay Wells and I have
created a list of shareware authors and download sites which deal either
exclusively, or almost exclusively with DOS-based shareware software."

I'm told....
"Some Useful Programs (and some less so!)
All are free and not shareware or crippled, and designed
for Windows 3.x but ran ok when tested on Windows-95.
(All are in .ZIP format; all include a 'readme' file).
"EASTER.EXE, (Ver 2.2) will calculate the dates for Easter
in any year and provide dates of several other 'festivals'
and details of the Psalms appointed for any day.
"TIMETILL.EXE, Ever wondered how many more years, days or
even minutes till you go on holiday, retire or some such ?
Or, perhaps how long since your last cup of coffee or
payrise ? Timetill will keep you informed automatically if
you put a copy in your Windows' Start-up group. This version
allows up to FIVE Events.
"WINSPLIT.EXE, (Ver 1.3) will split any large file,
(Max about 140 MB), into smaller sections (Default 1.44 MB)
to fit onto floppy discs. It also generates small DOS
batch (.BAT) programs to reassemble the segments and to cleanup.
"TEXTREV.EXE, (Ver 1.2) will reverse the lines in an ASCII
text file to read from Right to Left. A 'mirror-image' TrueType
font is included in the package which can be used to format a
reversed file in MS-Word or other text-formatter to give
true mirror-text.
"MYMUSIC.EXE is a simple Windows cataloguing program to
help keep track of your various tapes and discs.
Later versions will, of course, have more facilities. (91 KB)
"GEOCLOCK.EXE, Gives a pretty window with up to 16 clocks
showing the time of day in different cities of the world.
Cities can be selected and new ones added easily and the
wallpaper changed.
"CASHBOOK.EXE (Ver 1.5) This is just a simple cashbook.
You can have many different accounts to which you just
credit or debit items and CashBook keeps a running total
for you. Just right for the kids' pocket money!
Version 1.5 holds up to 250 entries per book.
