Downloads and Other Goodies
© 2006, Terry D. Ratcliffe
Conversion programs, slide shows, games, music, handy links and more. What more could a person ask for? Admittedly, a lot of it could be old hat, and may include stuff you already have or know about, but who cares? You may find something here that interests you.
There are two conversion programs included here. One is there for my colleagues in the Hydraulic industry (which I wrote myself), the other a very handy little general conversion utility. What's more, both of them are completely free.
At some time in the future, I may write more programs that can be utilised here.
Please read the instructions next to each program (if any) for important details before downloading.

Hydraulic Components Conversion
I wrote this program back in 2001, and have since replaced the software I wrote it with. For that reason, I cannot change the original program. That is why it is currently freeware.
Should I have enough interest in developing a newer version, there may be a small fee to cover software costs and time spent in development.

The Mahjong Suite comes from the same company as the SolSuite card game above. Over 80 varieties of the classic Mahjong games. They vary from easy to very hard. It also includes some Memory-up games. The full version has extra tile sets to choose from which can be installed free of charge.

There were over 1400 cars at this show, far too many to include here. So, I have chose one of each year and model to display.
