Older open source projects and prototypes:

• 2000-2002 HZ - my real-time action strategy engine. My original intention is to create a a clone of the great Sega Genesis game Herzog Zwei. It puts the strategy back in real-time strategy gaming, or rather, it put it there to begin with. (FYI: 'Herzog Zwei' is german for 'Lord Two'. The english pronunciation is close to 'he-a-tsuk zvei')
• 1999-1999 p4UI - A prototype Perforce UI based on the SourceSafe GUI.
• 1996-1997 UnixTools - a UNIX package/encap system.
• 1996-1998 Packrat - An email client and personal information manager prototype. Based on virtual folders, and searching, Packrat frees you from having to spend time filing items while making it easier for you to find what you want.
• 1995-1996 S3MOD - a tracked music file player. Plays ".mod" and ".s3m" files. For Linux, DEC, SGI, Sun.
• 1992-1996 Gtalk - a multiline chat package for DOS, OS/2, and UNIX (source available!)
