Work
I work on the Coral project.
It's a deductive (logic-based) database system similar to Prolog. I hope to
be wrapping up some changes soon, and have it move into the background (with
me remaining its main maintainer).
I've starting getting involved with the
DEVise project,
a package for examining large quantities of data in a visual fashion.
Class
This semester (my last) I'm doing a Master's project. I'm going to be
cleaning-up/rewriting Minibase. Minibase is a simple database
intended for instructional use in mid-level database classes. The
students will rewrite a section of it at a time, compiling their section
with the rest of program, so that they always have a working version of
the database.
Projects (and other programming stuff I have available)
I am (very slowly) working on a C lexer/parser with a symbol and type table.
The latest beta version is available as
ctree-0.03.tar.gz. My intent in writing it was to create a C parsing library that
could be used as a basis for creating source-transforming tools. As is, it
still has quite a way to go, but some people seem to find it useful for their
own purposes.
LaserPoint is distributing a
game of mine, Patience, a set of 25 card games for Windows.
Miscellaneous Small Things
-
callstk.tar.gz:
A set of C++ classes that keep track of the call stack and program trace
with minimum hassle.
-
wire.tar.gz:
A simple X-based wire framer.
-
self.tar.gz:
A program that assists in making other programs capable of printing themselves.
(Pure silliness.)

Delphi's
tremendous success.
You can also take a look at how Borland
has been performing in the past.
