Visual Basic 6.0 Bible Quiz
Visual Basic 6.0 Bible Quiz is a multi-player Bible Quiz that features over 1000 questions, multiple choice answers in random order. Choice of New Testament or Old Testament at any time. Users can play by themselves or with up to 6 players competitively. There is an English and Spanish version (beta).


SuperSearch
SuperSearch allows you to search on any website that can express searches as URLs with your Android phone.


Find and Run Robot Plugins
PopQuotes will search many thousands of quotes to find ones that mention certain words, so you can paste them in emails or other applications.  You could also use it with your own custom text files (one item per line). It can read the same data files as my Popup Wisdom program (including standard unix fortune files).


Keyser will enable FARR to reuse the searches already available in one's local installation of Firefox -- those available via its Search Bar / Search Box.  Firefox makes use of OpenSearch plugins to provide this functionality.  OpenSearch plugins are used by Firefox, IE 7, and other apps to allow one to search various sites more conveniently and quickly. The plugin may end up supporting searches from browsers other than Firefox, though they don't necessarily use Open Search plugins to provide their corresponding functionality.  Possibilities that have been considered so far include: IE 7, Chrome, Opera, and K-Meleon.


CZB package will contain all the FARR plugins released by czb. This includes new plugins: JScalc, which is quite a useful calculator and plugin management system, where you can de/activate plugins, control their settings and see their html/txt files.
