My Open Source Projects
All my open source project used to be on SourceForge and some of them still are, but I have moved several to OSDN.
Here is a list which links to the current (as of 2022-09-29) project pages:
- bdsproj2cdfg
- This is a simple tool for generating a Delphi project.cfg file from the project.bdsproj file that is maintained by the Delphi 2005/2006 IDE.
- CheckDpr
- tool to check and modify the contents of a Delphi .dpr file
- Delphi Custom Containers Pack
- an integrated tool and component mini-library to produce and maintain composite controls (or simply “composites”) and other containers (forms, data modules and frames). The process of building composite components looks like ActiveForm and Frame creating, but the result is the native VCL component. You can create new composites just as usual forms.(originally by Sergey Orlik)
- Delphi Help Expert
- an expert for Delphi 2005 to 11 which adds additional shortcuts for the F1 button in combination with Shift, Control, Alt and Alt+Control. Each of these combination can be configured to do one of the following actions:
- Open a .HLP file (e.g. the Delphi 7 help file, Note that this needs a the help viewer from Microsoft to work)
- Open a .CHM file
- Open a URL (e.g. a web search for the current keyword)
This project used to be called Delphi7 Help for BDS (Delphi7Help4Bds) because originally it was meant to call the Delphi 7 help files when the Help in later Delphi versions was badly broken.
- Delphi IDE explorer expert

Most of them are written in Delphi with some Lazarus (for Windows) sprinkled in.
My old homepage still lists other stuff, some of it written in Perl or even ReXX.
And then there is dzChart for Delphi and Kylix which I had totally forgotten about and which apparently has been moved from Berlios to Sourceforge by some robot. Nice to see that apparently Berlios projects didn’t simply disappear when they closed down.
