DXF export plugin for sPatch

This exporter will save DXF files from sPatch and maintain the layers you used in sPatch. It is written in C so does not require the VB runtimes. Unzip this and copy the file to your "\sPatch\Export Plugins" directory. Once you have it copied, you will see a "Layered DXF {Wolfie}" item in the File:Export menu.

If you do not have sPatch, its a free modeler and you can download it here (869k).

MYTH font

After seeing numerous requests for the Myth font in the Myth news groups, I sat down and created one.  It is an original creation of mine, but is based on the text used throughout the Myth manual. The ZIP is about 19k in size.

Gradient Designer

What a handy little puppy this turned out to be. It was originally written for a one shot use in an image but people started to fall in love with it so I added and improved on the original program. It sports 2 wave generators and 5 output mapping modes. The two wave generators (sine and square) both support linear/log falloff, amplitude and period settings. You can save/load splines and wave generator templates so you can pick up and modify from a previous session. For generating greyscale images for use with any application, but it is especially suited to use with Bryce's terrains. Simply generate your image and load in bryce.

This application has been tested and runs under Win98se on a Macintosh G3-350 using VirtualPC ver3

Dutch Oven Cookbook

I wrote this cookbook back in 1989 and 1990 for as part of a Woodbadge course. This book is NOT public domain, I retain the copyright and ownership of it.
It is dedicated to all Scout leaders who selflessly give their time to guide and lead the next generation of adults world wide.
Since I released this on Compuserve and FIDO BBS networks back in 1990 (prior to the existance of the internet), many other dedicated Scouts and Scouters have contributed to this publication. To those who kept it alive and expanded it for the sake of scouting, I tip my hat and offer a thanks to your hard work. I was, in fact, rather supprised to find it had grown so popular throughout the many Scouting organizations. I had thought it had died with Compuserve and those Scouting forums to which I originally released it into.

• It is for FREE use in, for, or by any Scouting organization (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, or Explorer Scouts for example) in any country.
• Any official Scouting organization may use, print, distribute, bind or sell this cookbook provided that use is for the benefit of the youth in that orginazation.
• Any profits from any sale or distribution of this book MUST be donated or returned to an official Scouting organization.
• By "organization" I mean any troop, patrol, pack, den, councel, district, Order of the Arrow, Scout camp, ect. that are officially sanctioned by a recognized Scouting group such as the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts in any country.
• It may NOT be used by any other individual or organization (including other non-scouting youth groups) unless you get my express electronic or written permission.
• Scouting oriented websites MAY reprint, publish, display or distribute this cook book.
• NON-Scouting oriented websites MAY NOT reprint, publish, display or distribute this cook book.

VB6 Runtime

If you are receiving an error about missing "MSVBVM60.DLL" or similar, you will need to download and install the VB6 runtime files. The VB package is something you only need to download once and works for most of my as any other VB6 program (from anyone). I will no longer be packaging programs with VB runtime files that are already included in the main VB6 runtime installer. Many of you already have these files on your system so you can simply download the various programs below, but if you get errors about missing components or files, I suggest you download MY runtime library linked here. It includes more files than does the generic setup released from Microsoft.

All the VB applications here require Windows95 (Build 708) and above or NT 4.0 (Build 1381) with SP3 and above.

Gradient Designer was tested and is functional on a Macintosh G3-350 using VirtualPC. I am confident most of the other applications will function as well.

This is the main files needed for most (almost all) of my downloads. You only need to download and install this once unless Microsoft releases updates or patches that requires a rebuild of these files.

It includes the following files:

1. MSVBVM60.DLL
2. STDOLE2.TLB
3. OLEAUT32.DLL
4. OLEPRO32.DLL
5. ASYCFILT.DLL
6. COMCTL32.OCX
7. COMCAT.DLL
8. COMDLG32.OCX
9. COMCT232.OCX
10. MSCOMCT2.OCX
