Completed works

Fractal Image Compression [IFSAF, IFSDLGLT](Win, Win32): University work. This is not for end users, it is for researchers only.
Monoscope 2.0 [Monoscope2.0](Win): Utility for recalibrating your monitor: shows a full screen monoscope and other test patterns.
MkStereo [MKSTEREO](Win32Con): Utility for making Red/Blue 3D stereo images from .TGA source. Supports sequences of images for animations.
DList [INDEXLIST](Win): A simple Document-Lister for selecting and opening into MSWord skeletons of various legal documents. For lawyers.
Visual Button Tester [VBT](Win32): An utility for testing owner draw buttons with custom bitmaps.
Windows Meter 0.11a [WMETER](Win32): Programmer's utility for measuring pixel extent of on-screen objects.
Vrmlp7 [VRMLP7](Win32Con, DOS32): Patches the VRML output of the Virtus WalkThrough Trial Version. Fix the transparency range, reorder from CW to CCW the vertices of polygons, attempts to compatc the VRML file making a better use of point indexes and face indexes.

In progress works

Cartographer [CARTOGRAPHER](Win32): A sort of simplified CAD for drawing city-maps, with superimposed street graph and other "layered" info.
Cartoviewer [CARTOVIEWER](Win32): The viewer for the files generated by Cartographer.
Digital Guide to <city> [DIGITAL<CITY>](Win32): A set of windows libraries for developing multimedia guides. Whithin this project will be a digital guide to "Rome" and a digital guide to "Anagni" that will be developed by two of my friends using my libraries and the Cartographer.

To do list

Porting to the Windows the macutils 2.0b3 (22-OCT-1992) collected and maintained by Dik T. Winter, Amsterdam, Nederland (email: dik@cwi.nl)
Porting of MkStereo to Windows.
Porting of MFF to Windows.
Porting of Cartoviewer to Java.

Low priority projects

Attemp to write an application dock for Win95.
Speeding up the x48, (an emulator of the HP-48sx Calculator by Eddie C. Dost - ecd@dressler.de ) addressing the needs for a port in the Windows and/or NeXTSTEP.
Some pages on the World Wide Web :-)

Long term projects

DTeacher: an integrated environment for developing question/answer and substituting words tests for school.
Porting IFSAF in Linux.
Using DCT or Wavelets in Fractal Image Compression, and enthropic encoding of fractal coefficients.
Working on better DOS/WIN integration of HFSTools (an utility originally written by Craig Southeren - craigs@ineluki.apana.org.au) for reading Macintosh formatted disks under DOS,NT,UNIX. If I'll find all tech info I need, I'll port it under Windows, showing Mac Icons and using Mac long names under NT or W95.
