Open Source Projects by Jamal Mazrui

this page lists my most popular programs to date (excluding screen reader scripts), and also includes links to documentation on them.

Nearly all of these are Windows-based programs published under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), explained at:
gnu.org

Some programs are written in cross-platform languages, so may be adaptable to run on other operating systems as well. Anyone may use the programs in either binary or source code form. I welcome contributions that fix problems or enhance features.
