| BookDB3 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Beta version nearly ready |
Databases all converted to XML, unlimited authors per book, unlimited categories, enter books with title only (no author, publisher, category required), all forms resizeable. |
| FCharts2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Early days yet |
FCharts is currently very fast and very stable, and therefore I will not be tackling this particular conversion until I've done all my other apps. Having said that, I've already written the data importer, price database and drawing code for several common charts. |
| HamTime2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Done |
Debugging the beta |
| Installer |
Will not be updated |
N/A |
I wrote this installer to download and set up the ancilliary files needed to run Visual Studio 6 programs on Windows 95 and later. Now that the Microsoft CLR includes all necessary runtime files, this program is no longer relevant. |
| RMP3 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Beta version nearly ready |
Already done & running fine. I've written the bulk of this program as a library, which means I can easily include it in any of my other apps. (e.g. yMail2) |
| Sonar3 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Done, available |
Changes detailed on the Sonar 3 page |
| Track-a-Minute |
Convert to VS2008 |
Beta version nearly ready |
Up and running. Already improved over old 0.0.25 VS6 beta. in fact, you can download a beta of the new version here |
| yBook2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Not started |
Masses of optimised font-drawing code make this one a tough conversion. |
| yCopy2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Done, using it |
I never released the VB6 version of yCopy (a rewrite of ySync), and I probably won't release yCopy2 either |
| yGen2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Done, and I'm using it. |
Up and running. I'm developing yGen versions 1 and 2 in parallel for the time being. If you really want to see the pre-release beta, it's online here, although the pages aren't finished either. |
| yLaunch2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Up and running. |
If you really want to see the pre-release beta, it's online here, although the pages aren't finished either. |
| yLend2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
99% done |
Up and running. Debugging the beta. |
| yMail2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Done |
I've just finished converting this one, and I'm using it for my primary email client. After a month or two ironing out bugs I'll make a Beta available. |
| yPlay |
Convert to VS2008 |
Not started |
I'll be converting it, but not yet. |
| yRead |
Convert to VS2008 |
Working |
yRead3 is up and running, and you can download a beta here. (Requires the .NET 3.0 runtimes because of the speech synthesis. Already present on Vista, and a 50mb download for XP users.) |
| yRoute |
Leave in VS6 |
N/A |
Flight Sim X (FSX) is out now, and I'm not updating to support it. |
| yTimer2 |
Convert to VS2008 |
Not started |
VS2008 + control collections = a nightmare. |
| yWriter5 |
Convert to VS2008 |
In progress |
I need to get this one finished in time to write my next novel. It's getting there ... |
