Back in college I learned to write Macintosh software on my girlfriend's Mac IIcx. Starting then, and continuing until mid 2000 or so, I continued to churn out freeware utilities for the Mac. Of course, the final few years were spent developing for MacMAME.
Anyway, I've decided that after all these years, this old software should have a permanent home. Although I don't support it anymore, I still see requests now and again for JPEGView or uuUndo floating on the newsgroups. Also, I have decided to finally publish the source code for all my Macintosh utilities, in case anyone is interested. But be sure to read the source code license below before using any of my code.

The Software
That said, here's the software (more to come later):
JPEGView | JPEGView source code | The premiere Macintosh image viewer for many years. Views JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PICT files with a very simple user interface and a powerful slide show feature. This is the first Macintosh application I ever wrote, which grew way beyond my original dreams for it. |
Zipper | source included | A very fast ZIP/UnZIP utility. Very simple interface. It was never finished, but is perfectly adequate for most simple ZIPping tasks. |
