Hermetic Systems has been publishing software in both English and German since July 1997. This website has two purposes: (a) to provide informative articles regarding calendars and computational subjects and (b) to make available the software developed by Peter Meyer (a professional software developer with an M.Phil. degree in computational physics). So far this software consists of over 25 Windows programs (all of which, plus the user manuals, are entirely his own work except for contributions as explicitly mentioned). These programs cover several areas of application, including calendar date conversion, word counting, encryption and other security matters, web authoring tools, text analysis, planetary aspects and mathematics.
About the Hermetic Systems Website
Calendars supported include well-known ones such as the Gregorian, Julian, Chinese and Maya Calendars, along with less well-known ones, such as the ISO 8601 Calendar, the Hermetic Leap Week Calendar, the Dee(-Cecil) Calendar and the Tabot Calendar, plus five lunar calendars invented by Peter Meyer: the Goddess Lunar Calendar, the Liberalia Triday Calendar, the Hermetic Lunar Week Calendar, the Archetypes Calendar and the Meyer-Palmen Solilunar Calendar (the last invented in collaboration with Karl Palmen). This site has numerous articles explaining these calendars and there are six items of calendrical software: Easy Date Converter, Mayan Calendrics, Chinese Calendrics, Lunar Calendars and Eclipse Finder, Equinoxes, Solstices and Cross-Quarter Days and Julian-Gregorian-Dee Date Calculator.
There are six items of security software available, three of which are cryptographic applications: Cryptosystem ME6 (for multiple file encryption), Easy Email Encryption Lite (for sending encrypted email messages) and Hermetic Stego (for hiding data within BMP graphics files). The other items of security software are Data Destroyer (for secure deletion of files), Data Destroyer Disk Wipe (for wiping a disk) and Modified File Backup.
Two items of mathematical software concern prime numbers: Prime Number Spiral and Factorizer. Radian-Degree Calculator is for converting between radians and degrees in various ways.
There is software for graphics file conversion (Easy Graphics File Converter) and HTML programming: Easy HTML Construction Kit (for HTML TABLE creation and text-to-HTML conversion) and Keywords Meta Tag Generator, a program for generation of keywords meta tags which scans HTML code and extracts the most-used words (the Advanced Version acts on multiple files).
Related to this is Hermetic Sitemap Builder, for generating both XML Sitemaps (to assist search engines) and HTML sitemaps (to assist website readers).
There are two programs for text analysis: Hermetic Word Frequency Counter, which scans text and counts the frequency of occurrences of words (the Advanced Version also counts phrases in multiple files), and Index Files Search Words, for indexing all words in multiple files and consequently conducting rapid searches.
And for something completely different there is the Planetary Aspects and Transits program, for calculating and displaying planetary aspects at a given date (current date or birth date) and personal transits at a given date.
From its beginning in 1997 this website has provided not only software and articles by Peter Meyer (including an article in the area of the philosophy of social science) but also articles by other writers (including calendar experts Karl Palmen, Simon Cassidy, Duncan Steel and Lance Latham) concerning calendars, date conversion, encryption, C programming, computational science and other topics.
