Computing: Free Pascal Programming

My Free Pascal GUI Applications.

All downloads on this side are provided free of charge and without any warranty of any kind. You may use them as you like, but if you do so, it's entirely on your own risk! Please, have a look at this Web site's disclaimer for details.

Also note that I myself are not really a confirmed Windows programmer. I never made computer science studies and, even if I wrote my first programs some 40(!) years ago, concerning GUI applications, I only starting some years ago to develop graphical desktop applications. Thus, the source code on this side is nothing like perfect, sometimes (especially in the older applications) perhaps even "just as you shouldn't do", without the knowledge of all the possibilities, that Lazarus/Free Pascal offers and how to best implement them, also without care about file size and resources used. On the other side, I think that you can find here lots of inventive and interesting stuff, concerning all kinds of domains. I also could imagine, that people for whom, like for me, informatics is primarily fun, may consider the code on this site, as one between other possibilities to realize a given application, to modify it in order to adapt it to their own needs, to extend the program or to find ideas to realize their own applications.

These are GUI-based (graphical user interface) applications, running in a desktop window. The executables on this site have been compiled for a Windows 64bit platform; the sources of most of them should be suitable without greater modifications to create executables for Windows 32bit, Linux or Mac OS. Just recompile them on the platform where you want to execute them. If you just want to run the program, use the icon in the "Exec" column to download the executable (if it needs supplementary files such as data, these are normally packed with the executable in the .zip archive). If you are interested in the code or want to recompile the program (to adapt it to your needs or to use it on a different platform), use the icon in the "Source" column (the download file will be a .zip archive with all relevant files, NOT including any executables). To view a more detailed description of the program (including screenshots), click the program name in the "Program" column.
