You gave a link to an app that inspired you:
It is still available today. You can still get it there in 2026:

You will need to emulate a DOS machine to run his software.
DOS software? From an abandonware site? And the date on the app is 2000? That's a relic. And your variant is written in VB6, a coding tool which was released in 1998? Thanks for the info. It's great that you're working on this, but you should probably port it to web standards (javascript, css, html canvas). I would still like to see some images and an outline of WHAT IT DOES.
L.A.M.
