Programs

I must have written hundreds, possibly even thousands, of programs over the years. Most were simple once-off jobs for a particular purpose, but I have also written a number of bigger programs intended for possible use by others. User-friendliness and flexibility were major considerations. Some of my more memorable efforts include:

• QSMS (Queen's Social Monitoring System) (1971) : A suite of programs for data management and choropleth mapping.

• Superfred (1973) : A comprehensive suite of programs for data management and statistical analysis.

• MUMMS (Maynooth University Micro Mapping System) (1983) : A data management and choropleth mapping program with many of the features of a GIS.

• GSI Records Program (1980) : A program written to manage the membership reords of the Geographical Society of Ireland.

• Census Read (ca. 1982) : A user friendly program for accessing Small Area Population Statistics (SAPS) data.

• The Computer Facilities Management Suite (1997) : A suite of programs written to help management of the Departmental computer facilities.
