Darwin’s Derby was originally written as Pony Express under Turbo Pascal for DOS.

While the old version was nothing but numbers moving across the screen, this version (which is still quite simple) gives you the choice of animals to bet on.

To play the game, just choose an animal to bet on, enter the amount and click begin. Very simple, very basic.

You can run as many races as you like. There is no high score list, and the game does not record previous sessions.

Note: No installation necessary. Just download, unzip, and run the executable.

This game is basically a variation of the old TV game show, Card Sharks.

You decide whether you want to bet on a card or change it, and then click the bet button, enter the amount of your bet, and choose HIGHER or LOWER.

If you win, you win an amount based on the odds on the right hand side of the screen.

You can play up to 10 rounds. It includes a high score list.

Note: No installation necessary. Just download, unzip, and run the executable.

A ‘flash card’ style program with user configurable subjects, numbers and time limit.

A Personal Planner, Information Manager, & Much Much More!

Secretary-IT was designed and created as a “total” organizational tool for the love of my life, Gidget.

The initial project was called “DateMinder” but as I added features and options, she thought of it more as a personal secretary than a daily planner.

With its interactive design, and integrated To-Do List, Appointment Book, Calendar, and Project Manager, many tasks that were once time consuming are now as easy as a click of the mouse.

Some of the additional features of Secretary-IT are: Search Screen, Scratch Pad, Screen Capture, Text Editor, Image Viewer, System Utils, Personal Diary, Moon Phase, Julian Date, Alarms, Gidget’s DateFinder, and much much more.

Note: Just download, unzip to a TEMP directory, and run SETUP.EXE
