| EasyJCL/Jol
|
- The Jol JCL
enhancement package for
IBM's Mainframe
MVS and Z/OS Operating Systems.
-
- Makes "Big Iron" MVS
almost as easy as
Microsoft
Windows.
-
|
| Oscar |
- Built on Jol Package
above, OSCAR
provides
a Universal Command language complete with Menus, Popups and Data Entry
facilities
in a CGI.
-
- Soon for GUIs too.
|
| EasyForm/
EasyWin/
Panel
|
- The PANEL set of
programs and callable
sub-routines provide the easiest possible method of displaying
Menus,Pulldowns
and Data Entry panels for MVS 3270, Windows, Dos and Linux.
-
- This is the Easiest
way to
develop Data Entry Panels.
-
- The Windows version
creates
easily maintainable Windows programs in the quickest possible way.
|
| 370to486
|
- Convert IBM 370
Assembler
to Intel 486 and Pentium code.
-
- The converted code
runs about 5 times faster than interpreted code thus making moving
Mainframe
applications to PCs a viable option.
-
- Also, it provides
an excellent development platform for developing Mainframe Assembler
code
and provides debugging features most mainframe programmers can only
dream
about!

Fast Safe "C" Strings |
- "C" string handling
is slow, and
error prone. These routines keep the current length of a
string
available, thus the very time consuming searching for the binary zero
at the end of a string is not necessary.
- Furthermore, many a
virus has been
introduced because of buffer over-runs allowed by the
original "C" string language design.
-
- These routines
operate in a
similar manner to Pascal or PL/I, and hence can move and compare
strings quickly. And "Fixed" length strings are padded with
blanks so that string compares are done "correctly". Also, it
is
impossible (difficult?) to over-write adjacent storage as the routines
check to see
if the receiving length of a string is sufficent, otherwise truncation
occurs, just as in PL/I, Pascal or even 370 Assembler.

Tokenise Routines |
- Quickly convert text
such as sentences or programming language statements to "tokens" or
words.
-
- You can then examine
the text a word at a time. Great for text manipulation or
compiler writing.
-
- Open
source PL/I code
available now, with IBM 370 Assembler, Intel Assembler and
Pascal
and C code. Assembler and Pascal documentation and
examples
still to come, but the code is there, and tested over 20 years.

The Magic Two Wheeled Car
Show Appreciation:
|
- Have a look at some
20 year old images I
made of a two wheel car that would use only one quarter of the fuel
needed by conventional cars.
-
- I have changed my
mind on a few details
over the twenty years, but the model I built to prove the concept went
well. Maybe I would have a third wheel that touched down
under
hard braking or acceleration!
- And
the model I made had
the motors underneath the cabin, and moving the opposite way to it -
this cut down the amount of rocking motion in the cabin.
- See
a 1 1/2 minute video of a model with Ken and Barbie in action:
VideoOfModel
- Please
get in touch with me if you would like to build it, and help save the
planet. Together, we can do it!

Philosophy
and "Stuff"
[a very technical term],
Saving the World, and Ourselves |
New
From
a talk at the Theosophical Society on May 15, 2007 in Perth,
Australia.
- Business Beliefs Destroying
the World
- To
come soon. Articles on What the Bleep, "Conversations with
God", and "Embracing Change".
-
- All you ever wanted
to know about the world!
Lots of links to
Philosphy and Spritual Sites
- And we
MUST get the Banking System under control!
