TOS, TOS, ... I did hear that before ...

The following is a collection of nearly all the programs I wrote for Atari computers (and compatibles) over the years. And even though you can still use Ataris for a lot of things nowadays, I've decided to stop the development of these programs.

• This software can be used free of charge (even though some of the documentation states otherwise).
• Programs that include the source code are in the public domain.
• All the other software can be considered freeware (i.e. it is free to use but I retain the copyright).

Please note that I do not guarantee that the included source code can be compiled as-is. Some of the software uses routines from my own libraries which isn't always included.

Note: All of the following software has a German documentation and user interface. Some applications are available in other languages, too. The archives usually contain a short English description of the software.
