Welcome to Ian's Software Site!

This section contains an archive of some of Ian's ancient, tiny Windows apps, including the world's smallest, fastest and most efficient image optimization apps, JPGExtra and PNGExtra.

JPGExtra (icon) JPGExtra

Optimize JPG files with no loss of image quality by cleanly removing hidden “extras” (or “metadata”). JPGExtra is the world's smallest, fastest and most efficient app for JPG image metadata removal.

PNGExtra (icon) PNGExtra

Optimize PNG files with no loss of image quality by cleanly removing hidden “extras” (or “metadata”). PNGExtra is the world's smallest, fastest and most efficient app for PNG image metadata removal.

ClipText (icon) ClipText

Displays the Windows “clipboard” contents as plain text, then copies that text back to the clipboard. This is great when you want to copy something and paste elsewhere without the formatting (fonts, colours, line spacing, etc). Also allows the clipboard to be emptied (eg. for privacy).

TRS-80 computer (pic) Assembly Language Programming

Programming back in the 1970s was often done in Assembly Language in order to squeeze maximum power and performance from the much slower computers of that era. I still enjoy Assembly Language Programming today in order to produce tiny apps that are fast and efficient.

Here's some links to other assembly language software and programming related websites. Providing links is good “Netiquette”, enabling the Internet to effectively become its own index.
