Here's a bunch of programs and eBooks that I've written, plus some freeware collections that I've put together. All of the files are may be freely downloaded and distributed.

• The Price of Freedom - This is an EBook of my Father's War Diary. My father was in the British Royal Artillery and was taken prisoner by the Japanese after the fall of Singapore in February 1942. He was a P.O.W. for three and a half years in the infamous Changi P.O.W. camp and also on the "Death Railway" in Burma, while there he managed to keep a diary hidden from the Japanese, so this is his story which I think needs to be told.
