Other Items The
following items are available as free PC
software. Some items may be fairly complete
and tested, such as the font editor, and others
are not-so-complete. Some are really for
programmers and are not setup as a final user
product. Just send me an e-mail if you have
questions or comments.

Tom's
Raster Font Editor (Windows
95 and later) |
| |
If
you tend to use a few Vista window sizes most of
the time, you may want to edit a few characters
to your own liking. For example,
although I like the less jagged appearance of the
square-like zeros supplied with Vista, you might
like them a bit more rounded. Click on
the link above to download the file, then execute
and install into your existing Vista32 directory.
Don't
forget to backup any *.FON files before modifying
them.

VSTEXEC
TSO Command |
| |
VSTEXEC
is a program you can run on the host under TSO
which can be used to initiate emulator macros, or
download files for PC printing (VSTPRINT, an
alias). Click on the link above to
download, then unzip using PKUNZIP or equivalent,
and follow the directions in the resulting
README.TXT file.
Source
code included.

VMVISTA VM Command |
| |
VMVISTA is a program for VM that duplicates the functions of VSTEXEC (above). Click on the link to download the file, and then use VMARC to obtain the source and load module. Provided thanks to
Chris Langford of
Cestrian Software. |

Some
Sounds for Vista |
| |
Here
are a few extra beeps and sounds I made on a
synthesizer (Yamaha TG-100) that you might want
to use for Vista events. The file is a bit too
large to distribute with the base Vista
installation (500K or so). Just
download to your Vista directory, unzip, and you
should then be able to assign the sound files to
events with the Set Sounds button on the Display
Options panel. Vista 1.22 version only though.

Tom's
Tape Label Maker (Windows
95 and later) |
| |
I
use this program to make 3490 tape labels that
cover the side and front edge of the cartridge.
Useful for turning old PUT tapes into tapes
you can send out with a "do not return"
notice. This program is written in Visual
Basic V5, and only the source code is included
here (mainly because VB setup.exe files are so
huge it's not worth the download!). Most
likely you'll want to modify the program for your
use anyway.
Click
on the link above to download a zip file
containing the VB source code. Unzip using
an option that unzips the original directory
structure, such as:
PKUNZIP
TLABEL.ZIP -D

zType (Windows
95 and later) |
| |
This
program can be called from a Visual Basic (or
other high-level programming language) program to
open other applications and send simulated
keystrokes to other windows. For example, I
use this to create fairly complex MS-Exchange
notes automatically from VB, without bothering
with MAPI or other mail interfaces.
This program was written in Microsoft C (V5), and
both the source code and resulting DLL file are
included. The source code contains some
examples of how to call the program from a VB
routine. Click on the link above to
download the zip file.
