...because it is an approach, an idea, not a particular implementation...


Since 2005!

It's December 27th, 2012. We have just moved the source files for ZaphodsMap into SourceForge.

How it works

We'll explain to you the foundation of ZaphodsMap on this web site. Essentially, it is a hierarchical system for organizing and storing all configuration details for software packages. The uses are endless.

Benefits you'll feel

Before ZaphodsMap, every software package invented its own way to initialize itself. Certainly you will recognize these ideas: INI files in the folder with the compiled binary ("EXE"); Information in the Windows Registry; INI files in the user's folder; INI files in the operating system folder; XML files in the folder with the compiled binary program. (etc.) With ZaphodsMap, one solution handles it all.

How much does ZaphodsMap cost?

Nothing. It's an idea, we hope you like it and use it. The source code on the download page is offered at no charge.
