Old Windows Software
[Home]
In a past life, I developed some Windows software and sold it on the
internet.
It was written for Windows NT/95/98, so it may not work anymore in
newer versions of Windows, but it might work with WINE under
Linux :)
You can have it to use and distribute for free.
I unfortunately can' t include a compilable version of the source code
because I used third party components that do not allow it.
EasyRead

Version (870 KB)
EasyRead is designed to take the strain out of reading lots of text
on screen by reducing eye movement. This is done by displaying text one
word at a time, similarly to flashcards. With a little practise, you may
be able to increase you reading speed and comprehension to higher levels
than reading standard formatted text off a screen.
