This program scans a zip archive and shows you all the files inside.

File compressor. In this version some bugs have been fixed and now the source code is compatible with vb4. NEW IN VERSION 2.01: *Now you can add, extract and delete multiples files at the same time. *Faster compression and decompression. *Contextual menu added. *Fewer bugs than older versions (I hope). *Program stability has been improved. *Compressed files compatible with older versions. *IDE has only minor changes. *Now if the archive is corrupt, program does not crash so easily.

DynamicCall is an ActiveX DLL that lets you call functions from dynamically loaded libraries (DLLs). This is impossible to do directly in Visual Basic. With DynamicCall you can use a library even if you don't know its name at design time, or use a heavy library and unload it when it is not needed anymore, or you can delete a library after using it (in VB you cannot do this since the library is not freed until the end of the program). With DynamicCall you can also call a function by its address (commonly known as 'callback').

This program lets you draw something, and then playback your draw. You can save it and then load it back.

Does your simple 3D game runs at a top speed of 2 fps? Does your super fast compressor takes 1 hour to compress a 10 kb file? If so, you should read the following article on how to speed up your applications. Updated 2/7/2003

Data interchange between applications has always been a hard task to implement. This ActiveX control lets your applications interchange data easily. Data transmission is arranged in channels. All applications connected to the same channel will communicate with each other. Includes a sample program that lets you "chat" with other instances of the same program.

FastBasic is a programming language made in Visual Basic 6. It is NOT a scripting language: FastBasic compiles to a p-code that is executed by a runtime (or Virtual Machine, whatever you prefer). The language itself is very simple. It only handles if's, do's, and things like that, but it can be expanded easily. Keep in mind that you can't do anything very useful in FastBasic, it is just an educational tool. Take a look at the examples provided to see some of the things it is capable of doing.

Updated 5/6/2003. This is a new version of the FastBasic compiler. Besides if's, do's and stuff like that, the language supports structures (UDTs) and arrays (fixed size and dynamic). Also a quick introduction to the language is provided. See the example programs for more information.

This is a file compression and decompression utility. It's very, very fast because it uses the zlib compression library (included). Encryption supported. Also it can compress huge files without consuming too much memory. You can learn a lot by examining the source code. A search engine and a compressed files renaming system has been implemented. Help file included. Now the compression library is inside the EXE so you don't have to distribute it. Self-Extracting module included. Last Update: May 25th, 2001

This program is a calendar. You may set reminders that will be activated at a certain hour. This reminders can be daily, weekly, etc. It does not use any ActiveX control or DLL. Everything is calculated using math. This new version has many bugs fixed and a better performance.
