Compiler for high level language for Microchip PIC microcontrollers

PTCPas is a free, portable framebuffer library, written in Free Pascal. It allows low-level high-speed graphics access on multiple platforms.

MinForth V3.4 is a classic Forth system with command-line interface. Development resource requirements are minimal. A source text editor and a C compiler are sufficient. By design no toolchain is required to adapt or rebuild MinForth. A complete rebuild takes only few seconds. Current sources are for Windows and Linux (32-bit or 64-bit). MinForth primitive definitions are written in mixed Forth and C language and are transpiled to pure C code. Main but not exclusive application for the transpiler is to build the MinForth V3.4 high-level Forth compiler. MinForth V3.4 is widely conformant to the Forth-2012 draft standard and passes the usual test suites.

I'm preserving Japheth's MS-DOS extender. It features 16bit, and 32bit capabilities with the ability to run 16bit OS/2 program, and 32bit Win32 code on Vanilla MS-DOS.

JWasm is a free MASM-compatible assembler with these features: native support for output formats Intel OMF, MS Coff (32/64-bit), Elf (32/64-bit), Binary, Windows PE (32/64-bit) and DOS MZ. precompiled JWasm binaries are available for DOS, Windows and Linux. For OS/2 and FreeBSD, makefiles are supplied. Instructions up to AVX are supported. JWasm is written in C. The source is portable and has successfully been tested with Open Watcom, MS VC, GCC and more. As far as programming for MS Windows is concerned, JWasm can be used with both WinInc (32/64-bit) and Masm32 (32-bit). Since v2.01, it will also work with Sven B. Schreiber's ancient WALK32. C header files can be converted to include files for JWasm with h2incX. JWasm's source code is released under the Sybase Open Watcom Public License, which allows free commercial and non-commercial use. There's a bunch of source samples available - they are supplied with the precompiled binary packages.

A command-line tool to download picturs and control still digital cameras based on Sierra Imaging chipset and compatibles (Olympus, Nikon, Epson, Agfa and some others).

CMake build script for a GNU/Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler with POSIX threads (and std::thread). Please see the README file in the 'Files' section for more details.

One of the hardest things to do when coding with COBOL is translating a screen design into code. The process may take hours, not to say days. In my old BLIS-COBOL, COBOL 74 and COBOL 80 /85 days (and those last 2 had the SCREEN SECTION which helped a lot !), I recall spending a significant amount of time dedicated to that activity. Time that could be used for more productive activities like coding and resolving bugs, for instance. Having said that, I developed a Screen Editor (similar to a Screen Painter, as some tools may call it) which allows the user to create screen layouts (which includes the use of colors) with delimited fields and respective input masks, and finally generate the SCREEN SECTION code that reflects that layout. All of it automatically - no code needed. The idea came from a program I used to use named EDITEL. I have adapted the concept (it was originally built for BLIS COBOL systems) and created a version that does this for GnuCOBOL and Microfocus COBOL. Enjoy !

Jainja is a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) written in Java. The VM is developed by using the smallest possible subset of Java in order to run on top of multiple environments : Java SE, JavaME, Android, Javascript, and even natively.

NSP is the complete object-based scripting language written in just a few thousand lines of ansi c. It's portable, thread-safe, flexible, embeddable, expandable and easy to understand (as a language and as an API).

basE91 is an advanced method for encoding binary data as ASCII characters. It is similar to UUencode or base64, but is more efficient. The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% and can range down to 14%.

John's Mutant contains several projects. The current project is an ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC compiler for Linux systems using AMD64 compatible CPUs. You can download the MinimalBASIC compiler source in the Files section.

BASIC library for large-integer arithmetic, plus some number theory modules.

Open SPHiNX C-- Compiler is a set of compiler and libraries based on the "SPHiNX C--" programming language created by Peter Cellik.

Aims at bringing the QuickBASIC language to the GNU platforms.

Small C++ derivate class to have a simpler life

A basic C/C++ Graphical User Interface (GUI) library, featuring windows, dialogs (buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, edit boxes, drop lists, track bars, ets.), menues, etc.

Provides, maintains, and improves the GNU development tools on Hitachi H8 series.

A very easy to use programming language for beginners . A bit like BASIC but the target is to make it compileable and it is more linked with the english language. Maybe we'll do translations were the synthax is translated too. FOR DOS/WIN . License: MIT

UltraBasic is a QBasic compatible compiler, written originally by Gabriel Fernandez, and continued until 2004 by Angelo Rosina. It was hosted on Geocities, and has been moved here because of Geocities shutdown. Source code is in QB PDS 7.

ZSNES Easy NetPlay - frontend and command line tool to easily play using only a nickname/email/icq identifier without writing IP addresses. It allows also to play with public servers retrieving players from a public list.

Win32 hosted tools to cross compile to DJGPP v2 (CWSDPMI) for MS-DOS. The primary reason is to be able to cross compile Allegro 3.12 using GCC 2.7.2.3 & Binutils 2.8.1. Later versions of GCC / Binutils are unable to build Allegro which leads to people either compiling on DOSBox which is incredibly slow, or just giving up all together. So party like it's 1996!

MegaZeux (MZX) is a simple but powerful game creation system. It currently officially builds on Windows (9x, 2k, XP), Linux (multiplatform), and MacOS X. Versions prior to 2.80 are available only for MS-DOS.

BASIC interpreter for the standard (SUS) character screen handling library, which fully corresponds to the Tiny BASIC standard. The code is thread-safe and can be embedded into other code. Can be used as a game or a minimalist challenge.

Simulator for 486 processor. Can be customized for embedded system emulation.
