Freeware author retires

[Dos-Man]

Hello, I am the author of such programs as acfpad notepad replacement,
Fontclinic font viewer, Bscript32 scripting language, and numerous
other small but useful freeware utilities. I've been on a one year
vacation from software development with nine months gone and I've
decided to retire. I will not be producing any future programs.

My PC died shortly after my vacation began. I was planning on
purchasing another one this year, but I have been getting along quite
well without one, so why bother? Programming was a fun hobby, but I
have other hobbies now. I even tried to sell off my programming tools
on ebay a while ago, but no takers unfortunately.

May these programs serve you well in the future.
Good luck to all users!

Enjoy your retirement years.

Thanks for the freebies.

Enjoy retirement...have fun with the new hobbies. I have a couple questions
though...what is Bscript32? What programming tools are you considering
ridding yourself of?

I have vb 5 pro and vc++ 6 std. I put them up on ebay, but they didn't
sell.

Bscript32 is a windows scripting language. I wrote a dos version also
called Bscript. It uses special embedded variables similar to perl for
dealing with special characters and variables, as in

app.print("line 1~\n~line 2~\n~line 3~\n~");

output:
line 1
line 2
line 3

*a = ("Mike");
*a.ucase("~\*a~");
app.print("Hello ~\*a~!");

output:
Hello MIKE!

Would Bscript32 be available for download someplace? This is the first I've
heard of it. I understand you won't be supporting it, but I'd really be
interested in taking a look at it. And, how much are you looking to get for
the VB5?

It was only available at winsite.com. You may be able to find a copy of
it on one of their ftp mirrors, or perhaps someone in here has a copy
of it. The version you get would not be the most up-to-date (I
continued making improvements on it for quite some time but the program
didn't get much interest so I stopped posting updates at some point.)

I'd like to email a copy of it to you but without a computer that's a
little hard to do

VB5?
