What is a URL?

URL stands for Universal Resource Locator.  A URL is basically a single Internet Web address.  In the Internet Explorer web browser bookmarks are stored in small files containing a single URL.

Bookmark Magic and the Year 2000

CyberMatrix is aware of Year 2000 (Y2K) issues and has taken steps to ensure its programs and its customers will be minimally affected by the Y2K.

In software, Y2K issues can arise in two situations:  User date entry and internal date manipulation by programs.  Bookmark Magic requires no user date entry and contains no critical internal date manipulation.  Thus no serious Y2K problems could be experienced using Bookmark Magic.

Clipboard Magic

 Meeting Manager

 L-Nix

 L-Basic

 Punch Clock

The latest [trial] version of all programs can be obtained from http://www.cyber-matrix.com

Clipboard Magic

Clipboard Magic is a free Windows Clipboard extender.  If you spend a lot of time cutting and pasting repetitive text Clipboard Magic can greatly improve your productivity.

By default any text copied to the Windows Clipboard is automatically stored in Clipboard Magic.  The text can range from a single line to several pages.  At the click of the mouse any item is automatically copied back to the Windows Clipboard allowing you to paste the text in any Windows compatible document.

The automatic clipboard archiving can be turned off.  This feature is useful when manually editing the clipboard list.  Another very handy feature of Clipboard Magic is that clipboard lists can be saved to external files for reloading at a later time.

Clipboard Magic is small, fast and unobtrusive.  By default the program runs from the Windows System tray allowing quick and easy access.  Clipboard Magic can be configured to automatically start when Windows starts and to start minimized.

Options also exist to have the program always stay on top and to automatically load a specified clip file when the program loads.

Clipboard Magic is free and runs on Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.

Meeting Manager

CyberMatrix Meeting Manager is an office meeting scheduler.  This easy to use multi-user application coordinates the booking of meeting room resources in office buildings.

Bookable resources can be the meeting rooms themselves or special equipment needed for meetings such as overhead projectors.

Resources can be booked using sophisticated recurring events having daily, weekly and monthly options.  As an example, a meeting can be booked on the last Friday of every three months.  A single booking in a recurring event may be deleted or the entire event itself can be cancelled.  An end date for the recurring event may also be entered.

A search feature allows for finding all rooms that are available at a given time of the day.  This feature is a necessity for those who must meet at a given time but do not care which room they meet in.

Two extra security levels exist.  These levels are used to limit the booking of certain resources and for overriding the editing and deleting of bookings.  Logging in as Administrator allows Meeting Manager options to be changed.  Administrators can also delete or edit any booking regardless of who booked it.  In the default User level security only the booker of a resource may edit or delete that booking.  Logging in as Superuser allows booking resources that have been designated as having exclusive access.

There is also a View Only option that requires the user to login before adding or modifying bookings.

Each booking contains information about what the meeting is about, the contact name and extension and the username of the person who booked the resource.

At the click of a button the scheduler screen can be toggled from single day view to a weekly view of the current meeting resource.

A report of all bookings in any given time period can be printed to the screen or sent directly to a printer.

Details about a given meeting room may be brought up with the touch of a button.  The details include a description of the meeting room, the number of people a room normally holds and the equipment usually found in that room.

CyberMatrix Meeting Manager runs on Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.

CyberMatrix Meeting Manager costs $2500 for a site license.  Network and single-user licenses are available.

Bookmark Magic

Bookmark Magic is an Internet bookmark conversion utility.  This very useful utility is ideal for web page designers and for those who need to switch between the Netscape and Internet Explorer web browsers.

Bookmark Magic can load in your Netscape bookmark file, and at the touch of a button, the file is converted into bookmarks that can be read by Internet Explorer.

At the touch of another button Bookmark Magic takes all your Internet Explorer bookmarks, including subfolders, and appends them to your Netscape bookmarks or combines them into a single formatted HTML file.  (HTML is the language used to build Internet web pages.)  The HTML can be viewed as hyperlinks or as HTML source code.  The source code can be edited and saved to an external file that can be loaded into a web browser or even used as a crude web page.

Bookmark Magic contains a Favorites explorer to better manage your IE favorites.  Unlike the default explorer in IE you can actually resize the screen to more easily manage IE bookmarks.

Duplicate bookmarks can be removed from IE favorites, Netscape bookmarks and HTML files.  With a single click HTML bookmarks can be sorted by URL description.

For Netscape users, Bookmark Magic can also strip the date tags from your loaded Netscape bookmark file and sort the bookmarks by description.

Bookmark Magic runs on Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.

Bookmark Magic costs $20 for a single-user license. Network and site licenses are available.

L-Nix

L-Nix is ideal for anyone wishing to learn about the Unix operating system.

L-nix is an interactive Unix tutorial program that runs under MS DOS.  (Windows users may run L-Nix from a DOS Shell.)  This program teaches beginner to advanced concepts of the UNIX operating system.

The trial version of L-Nix contains 10 modules covering an introduction of Unix, file characteristics, KornShell customization, processes and linking, command substitutions, finding files, and more.

The Registered version of L-nix provides nine additional modules, including Unix and Files, Directories, Introduction to the KornShell, Redirection and Pipes, Useful Tools, Communicating with Other Users and KornShell Programming.

At any point in the L-nix tutorial, the user can log into a UNIX shell simulation and try out the UNIX commands as they are learned.  At key points in the tutorial short optional tests quiz the user on the material learned.

L-Nix runs on Dos, Windows 3.1, 95, 98 and NT.

L-Nix costs $20 for a single-user license.  Network and site licenses are available.

L-Basic

L-Basic is a Visual Basic programming tutorial.

L-Basic can greatly benefit those wishing to learn Visual Basic or Microsoft Access Basic programming.  The tutorial emphasizes teaching programming concepts rather than teaching how to use visual controls.

The demo version of L-Basic includes the following tutorials:  Introduction, Variables and Good programming.  Upon registration the following learning modules become available as well:  Testing Conditions, Control Structures and Strings.

As the tutorial progresses, code examples pop up alongside the tutorial text.  The student may observe the effects of the code through the click of a button.  The examples can easily be copied to a Visual Basic environment for additional experimentation.

L-Basic runs on Windows 95 and NT 4.0.

L-Basic costs $35 for a single-user license.  Network and site licenses are available.

Punch Clock

Punch Clock is a stand-alone project time tracking tool.

Punch Clock is ideal for anyone who must charge time to different projects.

Time can be punched in and out for each project.  A running total displays the total time billed to each project for the current day.

A daily history file is kept which records all time transactions.  A weekly history shows totals by day for previous weeks.  A report summarizes all billed project time by weekday for the given week.  The Punch Clock data may easily be imported into other databases like MS Access, or spreadsheets like MS Excel.

Punch Clock is small, fast and unobtrusive.  By default the program runs from the Windows System tray allowing quick and easy access.  Punch Clock can be configured to automatically start when Windows starts and to start minimized.  The program can also be set to always stay on top of other programs.

The trial version of Punch Clock has a thirty-day time limit.

Punch Clock runs on Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.

Punch Clock costs $20 for a single-user license.  Network and site licenses are available.
