the Internet Domains
CyLog Software owns two domain names, cylog.org and cylog.gr. The former is the place where CyLog publishes our Games and Utilities for Windows. The latter (this site) is the "open-source" part of CyLog Software. Here you can find source code, components, articles and generally developer oriented info.

the History
Kostas Symeonidis has written numerous small utilities and games for DOS and Windows in the past, and in 1994 he finally decided to publish his programs under a "label". So he founded CyLog Software. The name came up while drinking in a bar with friends and it's short for CyberLogic. As a bedroom programmer the only thing he would ask for was appreciation of the public, so he made his programs freeware, sometimes card-ware (requesting a post-card for registration). In the dark years of early 90's as a member of Fidonet (2:410/5.10) has been writing and constantly updating L.EXE a very small, fast, colourful directory listing utility that survives until today, having even long filename support under Windows 95 and NT. DOS utilities followed by the Borland Pascal era, when we wrote games like Yahtzee, Master Mind, the beautiful MyJongg and others. Following that he continued writing utilities and games in 16-bit and 32-bit Delphi and he still publishes his work (time allowing) on the net (www.cylog.org).
