General Information: Made by fCoder Group International
Made by fCoder Group International

The fCoder Group was originally formed in Russia by a team of programmers. In the summer of 1998, with the addition of personnel from the United States, it became fCoder Group International.

Our goal is to design and implement programs that will empower both the computer novice and the experienced "power" user.

Our Philosophy

The personal computer was originally designed to help simplify complicated tasks for the "average" user. Software designers, limited by the speed and availability of memory and storage on these early machines, were forced to write small, simple, task-oriented programs.

In recent years, computers have become more powerful, memory is inexpensive and easy to acquire, and storage, both removable and fixed, is limited only by the depth of your pockets.

The introduction of the graphical user interface (GUI) in Windows™ and its successors provided an environment that was less intimidating to new users. At the same time, it made the computer more versatile, especially in areas like graphics and sound. New programming languages made program development easier and the resultant programs more powerful.

The arrival of the Internet made available untold resources. "Shareware" programs that can be test-driven before making a decision to purchase them are everywhere.

But the original promise of the personal computer has never been truly fulfilled. If anything, computers have become more and more complicated. New "mega-programs", which attempt to be all things to all people, require ever-larger memory and storage resources. Additionally, they are difficult for the average user to learn. If you have any doubt about this fact, just visit the computer book section of any large bookstore.

At fCoder Group International we believe that:

1. Programs should be practical, functional, simple, and result oriented.

2. The user should have to do less work to achieve the expected results.

3. The computer should be used as a tool, giving the user the opportunity to make straight-forward choices and then performing the function it was designed for: quickly and reliably doing the repetitive, detailed work necessary to complete the desired task.

4. Programmers need to go "back to the basics," designing programs that can be learned quickly and utilized immediately.

5. Software should be designed to be used in the real world, not in some ideal environment where every user is either a computer expert or wants to become one.

6. Programs should be relevant to today's needs.

Having made our position clear (we hope), we invite you to review the programs we have designed, and to visit us often. We will be adding new programs and we ask that you help us to set our priorities by suggesting areas in which programs are either unsatisfactory or non-existent.

With best regards,

fCoder Group International

AutoGraphicsHTML uses a simple wizard interface, which allows you to quickly prepare images for publishing onto the WWW. The program handles some graphics images, including JPEG, GIF and Bitmap.
The output is placed in a separate folder and consists of prepared (converted to GIF or JPEG) large images, created thumbnails and HTML files with hyperlinks from the thumbnails to the full-size images. The created HTML files can have different designs based on several styles provided with AutoGraphicsHTML. You can also make modifications to the provided styles or create a new style of your own.

ThnImage.dll is an ISAPI dynamic link library and is an easy way to create thumbnails for your HTML pages "on the fly". Bitmap, TIFF, PCX, Targa, JPEG, and GIF images can be converted to GIF or JPEG files for your HTML pages without preparation. You need only to set an image size a and image type (GIF or JPEG).

Some programs by fCoder Group International: BackFlip

BackFlip (Background Flipper) allows you to cycle your wallpaper on any interval you choose - from once a second to once a day. All you need to tell BackFlip is:

1. Which images you want to see, either by selecting a complete folder or by selecting individual images from your hard drive, a removable drive, a CD-ROM, any drive on your network and ftp-server;

2. How often to change the images;

3. How to display the images (centered, tiled, or stretched-to-fit).

BackFlip automatically converts your graphics files from JPEG, GIF, Targa, TIFF or PCX formats to the Windows Bitmap file format that appears as wallpaper on your desktop.

This allows you to save considerable space on your hard drive, because BackFlip dynamically converts each file only when it is displayed.

BackFlip resides quietly in your system tray, where you can set its parameters, change the wallpaper without waiting for the selected interval, or even suspend its operation while resource-intensive programs are running.

You can download BackFlip from Internet. To do it, please enter this URL: http://www.fcoder.com/ftp/_backflp.zip in your Internet browser.
