letter producer (called Scrivitt)
- Scrivitt enables the enduser to produce a letter with pre-existing paragraphs. At the benining, it's just a matter of chosing the paragraphs that you want to merge, in the right order, resulting in a basic letter. When the merging done, you have the choice either to modify the letter within the editor, or export the letter to MSWord .. that's all

Game of Life
- I converted a DOS based version of John Conway's Game of Life written in Turbo Pascal to an event driven Windows 3.1 application using Delphi 1. The app still exists as a crude conversion to Win32 compiled with, I think Delphi 4. It's not pretty! The original was written as an entry to computer magazine competition.

Book-keeping
- I turned a tabular cashbook program written in Turbo Pascal (DOS) into Delphi 5 The program allows to split each booking into a maximum of 8 sub bookings. When splitting the program automatically determines the booking value of the last sub booking to get the total value of all sub bookings being correct. In principle 255 sub bookings can be generated. Unused sub bookings automatically will be removed when opening a new booking year. The same applies to the type of money: For instance: Cash, Bank, Other Bank, Giro a.s.o. The program still is in use, but have had several updates and is in Dutch only

Paradox App to Delphi
- this was a customer management system that took feeds from about 50 different sources and merged them into a single customer database of about 1 million customers that allowed selections and mailshots and so on. It's sister app, which monitored campaign and promotion performance was later updated and everything eventually moved to Interbase/Firebird...although we have a client still running the Paradox Runtime version!

Prime numbers up to 1000
- When I first programmed GW-Basic (age 12), my father made a contest: who could write the fastest program to compute all primes below 1000? Since then, whenever I had to learn a new programming language at the university, it was a prime number program. It was the same for Delphi, which I had to program in my first job after university.

Lookup Table Builder
- Using Delphi 2007, I built an app that creates lookup tables for our enterprise sales/support software (also mainly Delphi). My app queries several different servers (and SQL Server versions) and constructs customer, organisational, and supersession-chain lookup tables for our Parts Sales functions. The app currently runs manually, but I plan to automate it to run nightly.

Turned my DOS shareware into Windows
- When Win 3.1 came out my Turbo-C based DOS shareware business went flat. A friend urged me to try Delphi version 1 to transition to Windows. My first Delphi program is still on the market and making me money. (It has improved over the years, of course) Until I found Delphi I was seriously considering getting out of shareware - I'm still at it and doing pretty well - all because of Delphi!

An image viewer
- I was using Delphi 3 at the time, BUT I used Delphi 1 for that program :-) It was a friend's son who had a 16 bits computer and I wrote the program to help him view images without having to resort to MSPaint. I don't know how much time it was used for, but the guy still remembers it after many years :-) Andrew
