Thank you for your interest in "Winq80" and "Celtic Knot Draw" and the "Forth interpreter source" and "State machine parser" programmers tools, All are distributed as freeware excerpt for commercial equivalent use. The programmers tools are "experts only" but the graphics tools and are very easy to use and install.

  Note: Microsoft's gdiplus.dll redistributable has been removed from the graphics applications because of an exploit announced  on Sept 13 2004, Only one of my my  programs 'reads' possibly unknown jepg files so they are not vulnerable, however you almost certainly should upgrade from Microsoft. The redistributable fix on the linked page given here has a new copy, XP users have their own version so any copy in the directory where my programs are installed should be deleted.. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-028.mspx

Please take a moment to read the Changes and Bug Fixes, and the Existing Problems and Bugs listing for all programs.

System Requirements:
Windows XP is preferred. For HTML help, Internet Explorer 4.0x and possibly the included HTML help upgrade (for Windows 98 or Windows 2000). The programmers tools compile under Microsoft Visual C++. The "State Machine Parser" requires Windows NT or Windows 2000
