Interactive book, 463 pages. Created with the Tech Book Template and Apple HyperCard. 1994. Description.
Tech Book Template
A tool for building interactive electronic books with full color pictures, digital video, consistent navigation features and extensive search capabilities. No programming is required. Authors paste template pages and fill in the blanks. The program automatically builds the table of contents, chapter contents and index. It automatically shows pictures and movies. It supports extensive search capability and individual user bookmarks. Books created with Tech Book Template may be run from CD-ROM, remote servers, a local hard disk or a combination of these. Tech Book Template can export formatted text files and HTML with inline pictures and links to movies. Includes complete documentation and an example interactive book. Available from the author. Created with Apple HyperCard and Pascal XCMDs. 1994.
Clerkship Student Evaluation Program
A prototype Apple Newton application for evaluating students on medical school clinical clerkships. Created with Newton Tool Kit and NewtonScript. 1994.
CFactoredSwitchboard
Think Class Library (TCL) subclasses in both C++ and Object Pascal that factor TCL commands as AppleEvents to allow other applications to drive any TCL based application without any other modification. Written in C++ and Object Pascal. 1993.
HP MECIF Library
A layered library that allows a Macintosh computer to be a client of a Hewlett-Packard Component Monitoring System. The library contains a software state machine for decoding binary MECIF messages. Supports multiple virtual clients. Written in Pascal. 1992. Documentation. Download.
Interpolated Faces
A library for drawing cartoon faces as user interface elements for anesthesia monitors. Faces are interpolated on two axis: from asleep to surprised and from very unhappy to very happy.
