SIRIL-2
- What it runs on
- IBM-compatible PCs equipped with a minimum of 512KB RAM.
- What it does
- SIRIL-2 checks compositions on up to 36 bells. Finds method and inter-method falseness. Finds composition falseness. Finds compositions based on a skeleton that you can provide. Prints method diagrams. If you can ring it, SIRIL-2 can check it.

Utilities from Glenn Taylor
- What it runs on
- PC running DOS/Windows
- What it does
-
INTERMET (DOS) Produces inter-method falseness tables for symmetric regular 8/10/12-bell methods. Can also produce tenors-together falseness for any rung course.
UGCalc (Windows) This is a universal groups calculator for 8-bell composition. The program will:
- Determine the falseness groups for which a user-specified set of courses is true.
- Allow the user to assemble a set of courses that is true to a user-specified set of falseness groups.
INTERLD6 (Windows) Calculates inter-method falseness for (fixed treble) minor methods by determining the half-leads of user-specified methods that must be avoided if the half-lead starting with rounds is rung to any user- specified method(s).
- Library used
- INTERMET and INTERLD6 each use a small library to which methods can easily be added
- What it costs
- Freeware. Either send a 3.5" disk and return postage, or an email (to receive a ZIP file ~400kb) to the address below.
