My first peer-reviewed paper: The Characteristics and Use of Lead-Acid Cap Lamps, Cowlishaw, M. F., Trans. British Cave Research Association, Vol. 1. No. 4. pp199–214., December, 1974.   Summary: It was 1885 when the first portable rechargeable lamp was invented. The lead-acid cap lamp we know today has evolved in the ninety years since then, and has a high capacity together with many other advantages. This paper describes the construction and characteristics of these lamps, and discusses possible modifications, the use, and the maintenance of the most common types of lead-acid cap lamps.

Mapping

MapGazer is a new application for viewing offline maps (maps stored on disk) on a Windows personal computer (PC, laptop, or tablet, running Windows 7 or later). It is especially useful when the device in use has an unreliable (or no) internet connection. It is intended to be fast and simple to use, and to allow uncluttered viewing and comparison of one or more maps.

Maps for MapGazer  is small collection of sample maps for use with MapGazer. See Getting maps for information on creating your own offline maps.

PMGlobe is a program I started in the late 1980s which displays the Earth as a globe on Windows, showing night and day, local times, etc.; a precursor to Google Earth. It's showing its age, but can be run as an application and also makes a nice screen saver (updating the displayed times and sunlight in real time) .  (PMGlobe for OS/2 and Palm Globe for early Palm devices are also here.)


Panoramas

PanGazer is a new (2018) application for viewing images and panoramas, including 360° spherical and hemispherical panoramas as captured by drones.
PanGazer runs on a Windows personal computer (PC, laptop, or tablet, running Windows 7 or later). It is intended to be fast and simple to use, and to allow uncluttered viewing and comparison of one or more views of images and panoramas, and also allows saving any view.

Photo Gallery: a small selection of panoramas and stereo (3D) photographs of mine.


Computing General Decimal Arithmetic: algorism for computers (and people) — an extensive collection of documents, links, and software for decimal arithmetic.

Tollos; a small supervisor program for microcontrollers using ARM Cortex M3 cores. It is intended to provide an efficient platform for low power applications, suitable for development boards and microcontrollers from multiple vendors. It is written entirely in C, and supports a number of peripherals, including graphics LCDs such as the DOGXL.

Fundamental requirements for picture presentation, Cowlishaw, M. F., Proc. Society for Information Display, Volume 26, No. 2 (1985).   Abstract: “How many bits per picture element does a display need?” For the display resolutions now commonly in use, only 4 bits per picture element (pel) are needed for the display of monochrome images. A total of 8 bits per pel are needed for color images. These conclusions are based both on experiment and on the theoretical model of the visual system in which the detectors in the eye are treated as simple photon-detectors. The results are applicable to “natural” images and also to computer generated images. A particular 8-bit color encoding scheme is described that also has the advantage that natural images are displayable on monochrome displays.

The Acorn 6502 Microcomputer Kit; a little piece of computer history—Acorn Computer’s first public offering, the Acorn Microcomputer (later known as the Acorn System 1). The one pictured on these pages was shipped on 9 April 1979. Also here is an Emulator for the computer, so you can try it for yourself even if you don't have the original hardware. It might also be useful as an educational resource, too, as it really shows how to program a computer at the hardware level (and with the mini-debugger you can watch the registers and other internal state changing as instructions are executed).

MemoWiki documentation snapshot. MemoWiki is a simple shadowdsocksr安装 intended for personal documentation, research, and small-scale collaboration. It allows the viewing, editing, and maintenance of a collection of pages using just a web browser. To make it easy to support research, MemoWiki integrates its pages with academic references (which can be edited just as easily) and other files (such as papers, programs, and images).

IEEE 754-2008 errata. I am the Editor of the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754). The current version was published in August 2008 and was later approved as the international standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011. Since 2008, some minor problems have been noticed; this page lists those that I am aware of, with suggested corrections.
The Standard is currently under revision and is starting the ballot process in late 2018.

NetRexx 2. Introduction, overview, and definition of the NetRexx programming language, version 2.
From the Introduction: NetRexx is a general-purpose programming language inspired by two very different programming languages, Rexx and Java™.  It is designed for people, not computers. In this respect it follows Rexx closely, with many of the concepts and most of the syntax taken directly from Rexx or its object-oriented version, Object Rexx. From Java it derives static typing, binary arithmetic, the object model, and exception handling. The resulting language not only provides the scripting capabilities and decimal arithmetic of Rexx, but also seamlessly extends to large application development with fast binary arithmetic.

NetRexx is now open source, maintained and enhanced by the Rexx Language association at the netrexx.org website. If you already know Java then Leonardo Boselli’s NetRexx at Once is a good starting point.

Also here are:

  • The Preface from The NetRexx Language, M. F. Cowlishaw, ISBN 0-13-806332-X, Prentice-Hall, 1997.
  • A presentation on NetRexx Internals
  • A presentation on NetRexx Scripting for Java Applications
  • Some open source NetRexx code (the BigDecimal prototype class).

REXX is a programming language I created and implemented from 1979–1982. On this site is a REXX Language History collection, including a summary of its background philosophies, and also some REXX programs I have written.
The primary resources for REXX, along with historical links etc., are on the Rexx Language Association website. There is also a list of available REXX papers, etc., supervised by Prof. Rony G. Flatscher at WU Vienna (select ‘Rexx’ in the keyword list).

RexxCPS (Rexx Clauses Per Second); a list of RexxCPS results, showing the number of Rexx clauses per second observed on various combinations of hardware and operating systems since 1989.

LEXX is a text editor that I wrote while on secondment to the Oxford University Press in 1985, for editing the Oxford English Dictionary. It was probably the first syntax-driven colour text editor. This LEXX-screenshots.zip file contains original 1986 front-of-screen shots of editing an OED entry (bungler), and also a number of later screen captures showing the use of LEXX for a variety of applications (including its own tutorial). LEXX is still available from VM Download Packages page.

STET – A STructured Editing Tool; Description and Users Guide, Davies, S. and Cowlishaw, M. F., IBM UK Scientific Centre, Version 2: 28th Dec 1980. From the Introduction: STET is a first attempt to take the structure out of the domain of languages, and into the domain of editors. In addition to conventional editing facilities, STET gives the user a third dimension: a tree structure that may be traversed using Program Function Keys much as scrolling is normally implemented...

The IBM Jargon and General Computing Dictionary is a lexicon that I compiled for ten editions from 1980 through 1990; it is a dictionary that is "intended both to inform and to entertain; each entry has a definition, which is usually supplemented by an explanation and an example of usage". Bob Comlay has kindly allowed me to link to his copy of the dictionary.
