Alarm Clock written in Java, with GUI for setting of alarm time and alarm sound file:
JAlarmClock Applet, requires Java 2 plug-in, owing to its use of Java audio for the alarm; it is configured to make it easy to run, either by use of already downloaded plug-in, or by automatically triggered downloading of not-yet-installed plug-in.

Front-end for SQL database interface:
FYdbEntry.class - a Java GUI application, configured ready-to-use as an interface to a properly constructed and configured MySQL database.

A group of files to install in one directory and run with appropriate parameters whenever needed.(- For Windows computers only, will not work in other OSs. - Not for beginners.):
'Materia', available for download.

On-Web graphics image file composer, solely utilizing JavaScript!:
XBM Graphics 1.32 with 16 by 16 grid for Netscape Navigator version > 2 or any version of MS Internet Explorer that can display XBM or IBM x-bitmap graphics files.

Basic JavaScript, button inclusion seamless with text, original 'Table' usage for appropriate graphic effect:

HTML source code formatter, for printing:
Print the source code of an HTML page ( program shows its own Perl code, if nothing entered in text box)

Tracking counters (for two pages so far - on this one, look for the "( - counter, in development, May 2 2000.)" at bottom of page:
