Web Tools Software

Occasionally I develop sufficiently general-purpose software tools, either server add-ons like the ConferWeb CGI or authoring aids like The Linker (see below), that I think they might be of interest to others on the web. These tools are intended to withstand the abuse of "production use", but are not available as commercial products at this time. They are available in a generally "as-is" condition, by following the links from this page.
