PUBLISHED WORKS

Rudolph

An automated scanner, disinfectant, and inoculator against the merryxmas virus, which is a virus infecting HyperCard stacks. Rudolph is a collaborative effort between myself and Jim Rodda. He did the graphics, and I wrote the code for Rudolph. It is a full-feature anti-virus program, permitting unattended operation, verbose logging of activity, prevention against future infection, and scanning of entire drives, folders, or even individual HyperCard stacks. Rudolph is distributed on the InfoMac CD archive by Pacific Hi-Tech, Inc., in the InfoMac archives at Stanford University, and on ftp.flannet.middlebury.edu.

AddSIVC

AddSIVC is a HyperCard stack which installs Simple Internet Version Control capability into existing HyperCard stacks. This automates and facilitates software upgrades for users, and information on the user base for product developers. Developed by Chris W. Johnson at the University of Texas, SIVC was implemented in C and Pascal when I undertook to build a HyperCard implementation. AddSIVC is distributed in the InfoMac archives at Stanford University and from Chris's own site at UTexas.

QTKanji

QTKanji is a project of the Language Schools technology team in collaboration with academic colleagues in Japan,and the Japanese Ministry of Education.
