Chris Wilson's Web Site

I am the author of several freeware programs. Among them are:
DR DOS Shell
DR DOS Shell for Windows
Minesweeper Deluxe
FrontPage Plus

I also design Web sites for non-profit organazations. Here are a few I've done:
Monarch Episcopal Cursillo
Lawrence University Rowing Club

If you have a non-profit organazation that would like free Web site design, please e-mail me. I also do free custom programming for non-profit organazations, and for individuals. In fact, I'll do almost anything computer-related for free!

Make Money Surfing the Web

I was skeptical at first about these programs, but they really work. They put an ad on your screen while you surf the Web, and pay you between $0.40 and $0.60 per hour. If you're on the Internet as much as I am, you can really rake in money! Here are a few of the better programs:
GoTo World
ePIPO
Desktop Horizon
AllAdvantage
Dot Ad

DR DOS Shell

The DR DOS Shell is a file, task, and program manager designed for use with Caldera's DR DOS operating system. The DR DOS Shell includes support for:

Caldera LFN / Windows 95 Long Filenames
DR DOS Task Manager
Password Protected Files
Power Management
Delete Protection

There are several file management programs for DOS out there, but this is the only one designed exclusively for DR DOS. However, it will work with any version of DOS, and provides Win95 LFN support when run under Windows 95.
The DR DOS Shell is still in development. The current beta release is available for download here. (ZIP format, 200K)
If you are unfamiliar with DR DOS, here is a little background info: DR DOS is an MS-DOS compatible operating system that is available for download on the Web by Caldera Thin Clients. It includes several features that MS-DOS lacks, such as long filename support and a task manager.

System Requirements:

DOS 3.1 or higher (recommended: DR DOS 3.41 or higher, Novell DOS 7, or OpenDOS 7.01)
mouse (recommended)

DR DOS Shell for Windows

The DR DOS Shell for Windows is a cross between the DR DOS Shell for DOS (see above) and the Microsoft Windows File Manager. It is designed for computers using Windows 3.1 on top of Caldera DR DOS. It is still in development, but will be available soon. The DR DOS Shell for Windows is not compatible with Windows 3.0 or earlier.

System Requirements:

Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher
DOS 3.1 or higher (recommended: DR DOS 3.41 or higher, Novell DOS 7, OpenDOS 7.01)

Minesweeper Deluxe

Minesweeper Deluxe is an enhanced version of Microsoft Minesweeper, the addictive game included with Microsoft Windows. Minesweeper Deluxe looks and feels a lot like Microsoft Minesweeper, but adds several new features.

Four Levels. Minesweeper Deluxe adds a "Professional" level in addition to Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert. The Custom playing field is also available.
Pause Button. Have you ever been in the middle of a game when the phone rings? With Minesweeper Deluxe, you can pause a game while it's running.
Personal Minesweeper. If you share your computer with other people, you can take advantage of the "Personal Minesweeper" mode. This allows each person who uses Minesweeper Deluxe to "log on" and keep their preferences (and best times!) separate from everyone elses.
Cheating. For those of you who are truly horrible at Minesweeper, or just plain evil, you can cheat with Minesweeper Deluxe. However, if you are an honest person, you don't have to cheat. The cheating options are tastefully hidden away so that honest people won't be tempted.

Minesweeper Deluxe is still in the development stage, but is currently very stable and quite fun. It is available for download here. (self-extracting EXE, 2300K)

System Requirements:

Microsoft Windows 95 or higher (or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or higher)

FrontPage Plus

FrontPage Plus is an add-on product for Microsoft FrontPage. It adds several features FrontPage lacks, such as:

DHTML Support. Front Page Plus allows you to insert DHTML scripts for marquees, watermarks, and all sorts of neat text and graphics effects. Furthermore, FrontPage Plus uses a simple Wizard format to create the scripts for you, so you never have to mess with the actual code. Most scripts are compatible with both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
Filtered Text Support. Internet Explorer 4 allows you to add various special effects to your text, such as a shadow or a wave effect. FrontPage Plus allows you to quickly and easily add filtered text to your Web documents.
New Wizards. FrontPage Plus includes several new Web, Page, and Frame wizards to help you create a Web site.
New Templates. FrontPage Plus also has several Web, Page, and Frame templates.
New Themes. And, of course, FrontPage Plus comes with a whole bunch of themes.
Preview. FrontPage Plus adds a Preview menu to FrontPage Explorer to let you preview your Web in any browser.

If you are using FrontPage and want to make your Web site come alive, try using FrontPage Plus. FrontPage Plus is still in development, but will be available for download soon.

System Requirements:

Microsoft FrontPage 97 or higher (FrontPage 2.0 or higher)
Netscape Navigator 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0 (recommended)
