This the collection of build tools Steve uses to manage multiple
websites (including this one, his personal site, and Kaleidofolk's site),
songbooks, recording projects, blogs, and so on. Some of the
pieces, especially the songbook and music site builder, would
work well as separate projects, but so far there hasn't been any
interest in doing the work.
Steve co-wrote this suite of programs with his late father
for his parents' now-defunct consulting company. They ran under
MS-DOS, and provide a simple mc-like interface for
transferring and converting files written by a variety of
different Perkin-Elmer spectrophotometers and other devices. The
project involved writing drivers for several different
filesystems, and used make for incremental backups
and production as well as compilation.
It's worth noting that this was the first product of Steve's
little side business, which he called HyperSpace Express.
