Dennis Bareis's freeware for Windows, OS/2, Unix & DOS. My free PPWIZARD and many other programs for a number of operating systems lives here.

<BODY> <CENTER> <BR><HR> <P>Hi, my name is Dennis Bareis. This web site supplies a lot of <A HREF="software.htm">free software</A> that I have written for a number of operating systems. The software is currently mainly Windows 95/98/ME/NT/W2K/XP, OS/2 but there is also some DOS and Unix software. <p>Microsoft have awarded me an MVP (Most Valuable Professional) for my work and help to others in the Windows Installer area. My <A HREF="http://makemsi.dennisbareis.com/">MAKEMSI</A> tool allows you to quickly, automatically and reliably create or modify MSI, merge module or ICE validation suites etc. My <A HREF="msidiff.htm">MSIDIFF</A> tool allows you to compare or decompile MSIs or other Windows Installer databases. My <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://dennis2centsworth.blogspot.com/">blog</A> won't have much Windows Installer information as this generally goes straight into my manual, which includes a generic section on <a href="http://makemsi-manual.dennisbareis.com/windows_installer_basics.htm" target="_blank">Windows Installer basics</a>. <P>There are over 120 downloads including my free generic text manipulation tool which is frequently used as a <A HREF="ppwizard.htm">html preprocessor</A> for html, javascript and rexx development as well as my <A HREF="checkurl.htm">URL validation tool</A> which I use to help ensure none of this sites external links have broken (or pages have moved). Some source code and other useful information such as my extensive list of <A HREF="links.htm">commented links</A> (all regularly validated) is also available. <P>The <A HREF="ppwizard.htm">PPWIZARD</a> download page has many add-ons including the very popular "JUNGLE" which is used to automatically create DHTML games (toddler keybanger) from images and sounds (contains the "game engine" as well as a game). <P>The <A HREF="jedit.htm">JEDIT</a> download page has macros which I am developing to make the editor better to use. I have only started on this but there are still some good downloads available. <P>I also use this site to improve my web skills and as a test bed for my <A HREF="ppwizard.htm">free PPWIZARD</A> (html preprocessor) which is used to build this site. Basically good looks (for my site!) are not high on my list of priorities, however I don't think I've done too badly! <P><CENTER><IMG SRC="graphics/barbwire.gif" BORDER=0 WIDTH=612 HEIGHT=38 ALT="----------"></CENTER> <H2>THIS SITE USES FRAMES</H2> <CENTER><STRONG> <P>Hi this site has over 100 free downloads of software I have written as well as over 700 well organised commented links. <P>This site uses frames (for speed and ease of navigation). I have added some of the main links, hopefully you will be able to use these without any more issues...</STRONG></CENTER> <BR><HR> <H1>Main Links</H1> </CENTER> <P>Probably my best known tool is PPWIZARD my html preprocessor: <table border=0 CELLSPACING=2 CELLPADDING=2 ALIGN=RIGHT> <tr><td align="center"><A HREF="http://www.os2ezine.com/20010616/page_1.html" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="graphics/os2ezine.gif" WIDTH=90 HEIGHT=31 VSPACE=0 BORDER=0 ALT="The Editor: To say I'm spectacularly amazed at how well this works is an understatement.
