These are a few of the programs and scripts I have written and made available for general consumption. Hopefully you will find at least some of them useful. If so, download and enjoy.

 

Feature requests/bug reports are welcomed. Most of these programs/scripts started as either requests by customers, or by people asking how to do something. I can’t guarantee that any specific request will get added to a program, after all I only have so much spare time and my skills are only so good, but I welcome the feedback.

 

I would also like to thank all those people who have helped me troubleshoot these programs, who have sent me requests/ideas for features, and who have simply kept on me to get the new version/fix done. I appreciate the time and effort you have put in.

 

All these utilities/scripts are free. I do not charge for any of these utilities, but I do request that credit is given if distributed. Also, neither myself, nor my employer, are responsible for the results of running any of these utilities/scripts. I try very hard to make sure they are safe to run, but I cannot conceive of every situation they may be run in, and some of them can cause data loss if you are not careful.
