Several tools developed by John Ridges on the 90’s had been released as
Public Domain, both binaries and source code.   

 

The programs that are now public domain are:   

 

• Animate – Set of desktop animations.    

• Checkout – Schedule backup related command line utilities for OS/2  

• Deskpic – Screen Saver tool for OS/2 that includes Animate   

• Deskext – Source code and examples to create desktop animations.  

• Eyecon – A couple of eyes that follow your pointer tool.    

• Fatbits - A pixel magnifier program for OS/2 Presentation Manager.  

• John Ridges Misc Tools – Several little tools  

• Usage – Command line tool that prints out the disk usage of
subdirectories.  

 

You can visit a little wiki page of each software here:
