Moving Home to BT Click 18 May 2005

I am a software engineer, and I've used this page to demonstrate some of my programs, and interests, and show snippets from my past. There are many things that can be downloaded from this site.  You may be interested in the colourizing of black and white photos, or the technical information about CDs, and also check out the links.

I am the author of Addawav SortMerge (new) and SplitAWav (new) which can be downloaded from the links on the left. If you like Addawav please register, by using Paypal.  In return, you will receive a registered version, and Joinwave-lite, a command-line version of Addawav.  You may also donate money for any other of the programs.

I've changed Splitawav during this year to not only split records into tracks automatically, but to remove the annoying clicks and pops.  Unlike the other shareware, Splitawav is time-limited, but I think I've been generous in the amount of usage you can get from it before it expires.  Splitawav now does Karaoke! It can playback live audio from a CD, or another input source, and in many cases eliminates vocals, as well as clicks and pops.

I've collected the colorized (colourised) images that I've been doing for fun, and these are now properly organised with thumbnails.

If you need a JPEG solution for an embedded application, use a compact, yet fast, version - much smaller than rivalling software - about 13K code, 7K data - nothing extra! To assess if this product is for you, please download the trial Windows viewer 182K or so. How can this be so small? Because it has been written to run in a small embedded application with limited RAM.  This Jpeg engine does NOT require that the whole image is present and can cope with partially loaded images.

This is highly portable C code, written in a simple style, and occupying a single C file, with a couple of header files. It is sold on a low-price license basis.  It has been tested under MIPs, DOS and Windows.

Works in either 16 bit or 24 bit RGB - customisable by the buyer.

Scaling up and Down, and clipping - all WITHOUT decompressing the complete image. You have an image 2000 by 2000 being scaled into a 32 by 32 box? No problem, you don't need the 4 Megabytes to decompress the image.  Progressive JPEGs are handled with no difficulty, and no extra memory.

Help file included in Windows program, just a simple C call to use the code, customisable for different video systems.

I've had so little interest in this, I'd be willing to sell this code for £500 a time, but without any support - this is for a single application - not for resale.

Gif Decompression Engine: Very small code size. Clips and scales dynamically, 32K work space.  Does individual animation frames.  Details on request. (Download the Jpeg program above for demonstration - it does both!)
