This will serve as my "What's New" page, as I will be posting information about the clubs and projects that I am involved in. This page has the newest, coolest stuff!!!
I have spent years making these programs but they may be yours free to
learn more about QuickBasic, Turbo Pascal, and low-level hardware programming.
Most of my files are for intermediate to advanced QBASIC programmers and trig
and calculus students who want to do their homework faster. Remember, your
computer is MUCH more powerful than a calculator so use it!
IMPORTANT: These programs are FREEWARE.
But please ask for my permission before selling my software or modifying it.
I assume no responsibility over ANY losses resulting from the use of these programs.
