I have emailed him and will let you know if I hear back. Sorry to say that there has been no reply to my email, so I can only assume the worst. Unless anyone else has some better news...

Do you know if he was ever a member of this forum?

I tried looking up www.peterheinzig.de/ on the "Way back machine" website. Peter's site is there but I don't know how to access it. There may be other ways to do this:

A bit more reading and here is the answer: I was able to access a copy of his site and download a demo.
Wow! You might think you've deleted something from the internet only to find out someone has been making backup copies all along!

Do you know if he was ever a member of this forum? Not to my knowledge. He was part of the old mailing list which died a death many years ago. Recently, if he had an issue, he would contact Sjouke or me directly. I did mention the forum to him on one occasion and he may have perused it, but I do not know if he ever joined. What may have stopped him was his written English was not great, although he seemed to understand it well enough. If you put his name in Copilot along with GFABASIC, it credits him with helping Frank Ostrowski convert GFABASIC to 32bit for Windows, although there is no citation so I can not confirm this. As well as his website, he also contributed to gfa.net and other early support sites.

To access his site and download the most recent examples, click this linkNOTE: Not all of his examples are available to download - you may have to try and access older images to get these.

Interesting on many levels. I was on that site several times early in the 2020s looking at code once I started learning GB32.

Ok. The position so far:
So I have managed to retrieve and collate most of Peter Heinzig's website - mainly the German pages as he does not seem to have updated the English pages since 2012 - but I am missing four files:
Bilduebersicht4.zip (I have version 2 of this...) Buttonmacher2.zip (I have version 1 of this...which is, sadly, far more basic) Schaltzplan.zip Sodoku.zip
Did anyone ever download these files and, if so, do they still have them on their computer?
If you do, please contact me through this forum and we can work out a way of you sending them to me (probably through OneDrive...)
Once I have all the files (or as many as still exist), I shall create English version of the webpages and then compile them all into a help file which will be downloadable from this forum.
A side note: Apparently, Peter did ask for someone else to host his website recently but they were unable to do so. Such a shame he did not post the request on the forum...

Il faudra réunir dans un seul dossier les 6 parties de bilduebersicht4. All 6 parts of bilduebersicht4 must be compiled in a single file. bilduebersicht4-01.7z (776.19 KB)

dragonjim,
Do you plan on combining these and making them available?

dragonjim, Do you plan on combining these and making them available? The plan was: The plan now: However, with time constraints from work and to make the contents available as soon as possible, I may well start small, make a help page out of the German pages and files that I now have, then create English versions when I can and release a full English/German version later in the year. If someone wants to add another language - French, for example - then feel free and I will add it in. All I would need is translations of the text on the page and I could do the rest. I could use Google Translate but my French is more school boy level and I would not know if the formatting is correct or not - or if it included a word or phrase which reads as synonymous in English but means something completely different once translated.

Click this link to download the German version of Peter Heinzig's website in a help viewer. [Edit: this link now downloads the German/English version]NOTE: Remember to enable the file before trying it... The file will be automatically restricted by Windows; to remove this restriction, right click on the file, select the Properties tab and click the 'Unblock' button in the bottom right corner of the pop-up box. Click OK to close the box and the help file should now display normally. This file is a first draft and needs work. 1. There are some bad links, mainly to external websites, which need to be tidied up. 2. My German descriptions of files in the Table of Contents may not be accurate. 3. As far as I am aware, all the download links work, but... Please post any errors to this thread.

I received the last mail from him at 18.DEZ.2023. He sometimes told me that he had problems with his eyes... and hes not able to see well. View AttachmentThanks for the update. I know he contacted someone else about that time but, as with you, not since.

I have finally managed to convert all the webpages to English (not perfect but understandable); Peter had translated a few and in these cases I have just corrected a few mistakes. The dates on the website/helpfile are in German format on both German and English pages to avoid confusion; this is a change from the original in which Peter put most of the English dates in US mm/dd/yy format; another reason for the change is that it took one extra task out of converting the homepage and individual program pages. As always, please report any errors to this thread. Also, I am looking for at least one more person to host this helpfile, preferably two, so that there are mirror sites in case mine goes down (there is a history on this site of useful files being lost when the original host disappears...)The link to my copy of the German/English version is here. NOTE: Remember to enable the file before trying it... The file will be automatically restricted by Windows; to remove this restriction, right click on the file, select the Properties tab and click the 'Unblock' button in the bottom right corner of the pop-up box. Click OK to close the box and the help file should now display normally.

Thanks for this fantastic resource!
The circuit board creator and circuit diagram programs caught my eye. I'll be checking these out!
