Other topics 

This page is an index of various other topics I have posted information on. 

General

Secure Data Exchange is a short item introducing a paper on the subject of using zip-archive encryption safely to achieve a reasonable level of security.  I decided to write this because I had noticed that high-security alternatives like PGP failed to achieve significant penetration among non-professional computer users.

Tools

BVOTrans is a small ActiveX DLL containing a few classes for translating text.  While not unique, its most useful feature is probably EBCDIC-ASCII/ASCII-EBCDIC translation.

CalClate is a desktop "calendar/calculator" applet intended for use by people who frequently work with Julian dates, by which I actually mean values such as day of the year and also days remaining in the year values.  It is written as an HTML Application (HTA) entirely in VBScript, with no helper components besides the bits and pieces that normally install with IE 5.5 and later.  Useful to some classes of office workers, perhaps educational for VBScript programmers interested in HTAs and IE DOM manipulation.

TCPTap beta is a small utility program useful for developing and debugging simple TCP-based software.  Its a small TCP proxy useful for capturing and logging the TCP stream of a single connection at a time.  When first released in beta I got a lot of feedback.  Lately I haven't heard too much though, and I have not produced a final form now that I'm no longer getting bug reports but I hope to get back to this sometime.
