- The home page of Doxygen, a grand open source C++ documentation system I have contributed to.
- Kodak Digicam driver A svelte but capable command-line interface for my Kodak DC200+ digital camera (adapted from C source for a DC210, likely to suit some earlier serial-interfaced Kodak cameras too).
- SAM Coupe emulator An x86 build of SimCoupe, updated for my Linux Format column in September 2003. You will also need library files from one of the released versions of SimCoupe for Linux - this directory contains just the executable, ROMs and readme.
- Updated SAMTOOLS
A package for manipulation of MGT 800K disks and disk images on Unix-like systems.
The BZIP2 compressed archive includes source, documentation and x86 binaries
compiled and tested in 2004 on a current Debian Gnu Linux 3.0 system.
More Linux and Qdos stuff will follow... let me know if you're looking for anything in particular of mine, please.

My most recent pro bono Amiga project was SpamFryer, which garnered hundreds of users worldwide.
It's an icon-launched ARexx script that automatically identifies spam and deletes it from your ISP's POP3 server. The third major update applies more than 100 rules to sift out spam, and can quickly be taught new rules by editing plain text files. It includes a choice of icons, optional Miami YAM and UAE integration, and comprehensive documentation in AmigaGuide and plain text formats, in English.
It fries around 90 per cent of current spams (PC worms, junk mail offers, viruses etc) without needing to download more than a fraction of each waiting message.
SpamFryer won an award from the French AmigaPower magazine in 2007.
Amiga Wiki
Version 5:3 of SpamFryer is several times faster, supports fuzzy matching, and contains new rules to catch current bulk spam messages. Version 6.18 adds 'SpamBrowser' which gives you the option to run SpamFryer in an interactive mode. You can preview the contents of your mailbox and interactively select the mails you want to keep or delete. Follow the link to read the SpamFryer documentation on line. For potentially more recent news there's information about updates on the Amiga Wiki. If you currently use SpamFryer and would like to obtain the latest rules, or share your own discoveries, this is the place to do it. It's generally a good place to seek and share the latest Amiga information.
The emulators AmiTRS80, Speculator and Qdos4Amiga are collective efforts led by Red Skull, William James and Mark Swift (who also made the original DOC2RTF converter, as a Qdos program).
