Simon Tatham's Home Page

Welcome to my web site. I'm Simon Tatham, a software engineer and free-software author in Cambridge, UK.

Here are links to the various other pages of this site.

• About me: some idea of who I am.
• Free software I've written, which you can download.
  • PuTTY: a Telnet and SSH client for Windows.
  • Halibut: a half-written documentation system which is used for the PuTTY manual.
  • DoIt: a utility to allow a Unix machine to open documents on a Windows machine (for example, sending commands back to your Windows desktop machine from a Unix server you've connected to from there).
  • WinURL: a Windows utility to pull text out of the clipboard and launch it as a URL at the touch of a hot-key.
  • Enigma: a block-pushing puzzle game. Originally invented by a friend; converted to a curses-based Unix game by me.
  • A collection of GUI puzzle games (currently for Windows, GTK and Mac OS X, but intended to be portable beyond those platforms).
  • Tweak: a Unix curses-based hex editor designed for highly scalable performance.
  • IPBT: a Unix curses application which plays back ttyrec files with precision rewind capability.
  • A collection of miscellaneous Unix utilities.
  • Bitmap fonts and font utilities for Windows.
  • A patch to bash(1) that implements a third mode of job termination notification.
• My algorithms collection: some neat algorithms that aren't in common use.
• Mathematical sorts of things. (Many of these pages include some downloadable software so you can play with them yourself.)
  • Filigrams: a kind of mathematical pretty picture, slightly similar to fractals but not exactly the same.
  • Newton-Raphson fractals.
  • Construction of polyhedra from mutually repelling points on a sphere.
  • A pair of dice which never roll 7.
• Articles, essays and things I've written.
  • How to Report Bugs Effectively: a general article on how to send a programmer a bug report which will actually help them fix the problem.
  • Coroutines in C: an implementation of Knuth's "coroutines" concept in portable ANSI C, by a similar technique to Duff's device plus some C preprocessor abuse.
  • Magic Aliases: a dirty trick you can do by combining aliases and shell functions in the Bourne shell.
  • The Infinity Machine: an exercise in what you might call "recreational computer science", inspired by Ian Stewart. Explores the potential consequences if an infinitely fast computer could be built (including defining precisely what that means).
  • My experience of migrating to Subversion. Things to watch out for, things I'd do differently next time, things I'm glad I did the way I did.
  • My personal FAQ about the fact that I have no sense of smell.
