About the Author

The author of Switch 1.0 is a part-time graduate student at Clemson University majoring in Computer Engineering.  $%#@, I hate talking about myself in the third person.  If you find this program useful, please send in the Registration Fee (or more).

This program was developed in Borland C++ 3.1 (using the C Compiler), the incredibly helpful Bounds Checker for Windows from Nu-Mega Technologies Inc., and Robo Help from Blue Sky.


Selecting Printers

This brings up the Printers screen of Control Panel and will allow the user to select a printer or perform any operation that would otherwise be performed there.  If this application launches the Control Panel, it will close when the user clicks on Close/Cancel.


Switch

Switch is a simple utility that remains iconized.  It allows the user to switch orientation  and switch duplex  as well as allowing the user to quickly change printers .  Switch is $5.00 shareware.


Capture 3.1

Capture 3.1 is a powerful utility that captures portions of the windows screen, and either save them as Bitmaps or Icons or copy them to the clipboard.

Capture 3.1 has many options and can be purchased for $10.00 + $2.00 Shipping and Handling.  It can be found in an unregistered version which has disabled functions on many popular FTP sites (wuarchive.wustl.edu and others) as well as Compuserve.


Always on Top

When this item is checkmarked the icon has a gray background with a black rectangle and stays on top of all other windows much in the same way that clock can.  This feature is only available after the registration password has been entered.

Shrinking Caption

This option is used to shrink the caption, which is especially useful in conjunction of with the Always on Top option.  If anyone knows how to completely remove the caption, please contact me and I will send you registered versions of Capture 3.1 and Switch.
