Pork to Bacon Software at Fortune City
This is the newest part of Pork to Bacon Software.We specialise in providing free 100% exclusive software across the various free-space servers.
Previous incarnations include pages and files at Angelfire, Geocities, and Freeserve.
This particular part of the concept will focus on the written word, in the form of Delphi articles, Windows tips, Music reviews, and political essays.
There will also be Delphi software for Windows 95/98/NT and Duke Nukem Levels - all for free download.
For more information about the Pork to Bacon concept, try this copy of our main homepage:
Pork to Bacon Launch Page
Note: the external links are on the whole null for now, until the articles start to appear - this is to comply with the local terms of agreement regarding the ratio of local/remote links.
Updates
Duke Samples added to the worms page - not the same set to be found at Worms United...
JAVA SQUIZZARD
Very minor bugfix relating to the referring page given at the end of the quiz.
Download the ASPack-optimised version below - small executable for Delphi...
Runs on Windows95, 98, NT.
Get the new updated version here...267Kb Zip... Source code available from here...155Kb Zip...
With this little program you can type in your own quizzes, and the program will convert them to HTML with frames, image maps and JavaScript!!!
Great little timesaver!

Pork to Bacon SCREENSAVER
Get it here...180Kb...
Just your basic screensaver, optimised with ASPack - get ASPack now if you've not already, especially if you're a Delphi programmer - those large executables are squished right down, and you lose nothing - even the loading time is not noticeably longer.I have experienced 60% reductions in Delphi executables, giving rise to some under 80Kb in size, which for Delphi is quite something.
Booze Calculator
This was one of the very first Delphi programs I wrote, when I wasn't used to the conventions of Windows programming.
It's small(79Kb), compressed with ASPack, so get it here if you want a little utility to tell you how many 'units' of alcohol you actually had last night...
Possibly a newer version with proper menus and stuff soon...
Quick Link Launcher
To link straight to us from your start menu, download this little program...130Kb
Unzip to any folder (it's just an executable), and make a start menu item.The box takes you straight to Pork to Bacon.
Useless really, but demonstrates FMXUtils' capability of launching URLs without a dedicated component!
(You can also copy files and stuff using FMXUtils far easier than usual.)
Worms 1 Add-ons
New Worms page added...Click here to view...
Eleven soundbanks and loads of levels for free download - all exclusive to this site...
UPDATED 9.2.99

Noise Drummist
This has moved to the GEOCITIES site - this site will not host files above 1Mb in size, for reason of past abuses of MP3s - must have been serious!
You can still get add-on skins for the program here:
Click here...264Kb Zip file... for the skins
Email me with skins requests and I will oblige.
Have fun...

Articles
Like the other Porks to Bacon, this site will bring you up-to-date articles on how to get the most out of your Operating System, Software, Files and Hardware, plus how to program in various languages and environments, and also some music, philosophy and politics articles and reviews of books, records and shows.
These are the first batch of uploads - expect more at least once a week - for regular information on the updates at this and the other three sites, simply refresh our page at:
Freeserve - my ISP
For now this is the only external link to be activated, but for a good links list try the main page above, or some of our other pages at Angelfire, Freeserve, or Geocities.For a general description of what's stored where, go to the above link.
This site will not have any MP3s, because Fortune City have been abused by copyright-theft in the past and are justifiably sick of it, but the other sites do hold some MP3 samples of the work of Gregory L Fox - all of these are totally legal, and free of charge.
Anyway, the articles:
Throwing Muses - the poetry of Kristin Hersh+Tanya Donelly - best lines from the songs...
Common File Formats - an absolute beginner's guide to the extensions used to quickly distinguish files on your hard drive.
Why we should give up driving today - an essay on the danger and folly of driving - just my opinion, no flames please(!)
How to get 32 extra voices out of your MIDI card - Wingroove even if you have wavetable...
In future there will probably be more pages based on the work of Diana Fox - poetry, paintings, music - probably whole scores soon.
Here's the link for when it's up :
It's not done yet, but when it is you'll see the announcement at the main page based at Freeserve.(The link's above.)
