Bob Goddard's programs
BBCBasic.exe - a BBC Basic emulator. This was supplied by Bob, but the original program was written by R. T. Russell. The latest versions can be downloaded from his page at http://www.rtrussell.co.uk
BlackBox - a puzzle game, including instructions in Word format. I've had my version of the game in my "Work in Progress" file for ages. One day, I'll get round to finishing it.
DOSCoder - This program enables you to encrypt any type of file on your pc. It uses the pseudo random number generator. After encryption the file look exactly the same but would be complete hash in the unlikely event of you even being able to load it.
Filer30 - a nice graphical file / directory dialog box

Mouse6 - using a mouse in QBasic. Programmer unknown but adapted by Bob Goddard
Planets7 - an "orrery" program which displays the positions of the 9 major planets relative to each other in the solar plane. In the case of Mercury which has an orbit at an angle of about 17 degrees relative to the others the distance from the Sun is shown as if it were in the same plane as the other planets. The starting point can be set to any date from 1st January 2000 onwards. It is based on an idea by Bob's father who calculated the initial positions of the planets and their velocities.
Splitter - This is able to split large files so it can fit onto multiple floppy disks. It needs Unsplitr to join them back together.
Unsplitr - the companion program to Splitter. It's used to rejoin the split files.
