Copyright: FormPost Edit v1.5


Introduction

FormPost Edit is a special text editor for those of us who have to contend with posted Web forms. It has many of the fine features of our well know Notebook program, but is considerably smaller, and, consequently, loads much more quickly. In addition to the many standard editing capabilities that the program has, its specialty is interpreting the extraneous characters contained in posted Web forms, turning them into easily readable text. Of course FormPost Edit can then either save or rename the file, as you wish, and also send it to your printer. In addition:

1. FormPost Edit offers full font and color control, and will save your settings.

2. FormPost Edit features a toolbar, complete with help balloons, which can be toggled on and off, as you wish.

3. FormPost Edit will allow you to both print and save to a file selected text only, if desired. Simply select the text with the cursor before invoking the print or save as command, and only the selected text will be considered.

If you do not care for the default settings, you can change and save them if you like - the settings can always be restored by clicking on the DEFAULT button. If you wish to eliminate any of the margins you must enter “0” in the appropriate field - you must not simply leave the field blank. The default header is the filename of the file you are printing, and the default footer is the page number.

Programs
Other Programs by CT Software

CT Calendar

CT Calendar is a small 32-Bit desktop calendar. We have tried to keep it small enough to keep on your desktop, but not so small that you need a magnifying glass to see it. It has many customizable features including color and loading position.This program is free of charge with the registration of any CT Software 32-bit shareware program.

CT HotSpot

CT HotSpot is a small utility with which you can create 2 hotspots - 1 to turn your screensaver on, and the other to turn it off. This can be quite useful when downloading a large file, doing a tape backup, or when using the Windows 95 utility, DEFRAG. Having a screensaver come on during any of these activities can wreck havoc with your computer and your files.

DiskCopy

DiskCopy is a simple little 32-Bit program for formatting and creating duplicate disks. DiskCopy will prompt you for the number of copies you have in mind, making for a very quick operation. DiskCopy does not perform an actual track by track copy, it simply copies the directory structure and files, but 99% of the time, that is all that is really required.

Notebook for Windows 95

There is one, and only one point to this program - to replace Notepad. Notebook is not a word processor. It's sole purpose is to view and edit text files. Notebook does have 6 major features (and several minor ones) which we believe make up for Notepad's inadequacies:

1. It will open very large files, and allow you to edit them.

2. It features full font control - you can set the font name, style, size, and color, and your settings will be saved when you exit the program. It will look better on your screen, and do a much better job of printing.

3. Notebook has a toolbar complete with help balloons.

4. Notebook features DRAG AND DROP text editing. If you want to move a block of text, just use the mouse to select it, and drag it to where you want it.

5. Notebook supports overtype mode. While the default editing mode is insert, hitting the INSERT key on your keyboard will change that to overtype.

6. Notebook can both print and/or save to a file selected text only, if desired.

Safety Net Pro

Safety Net Pro is a highly acclaimed utility for backing up key files by file extension. It has one default setting - to backup key "windows" and system files including INI files, Registry Files, CONFIG.SYS, and AUTOEXEC.BAT- and 5 user configurable options. Safety Net Pro could easily backup all of the document and/or database files on your drive, for example, with the directory structure intact, and it can Zip them to disk. Safety Net Pro has several advanced features, including built-in 32-bit zip compression (PKZ v2.04 compatible) and the ability to span Zip files across multiple disks Safety Net Pro can also print file lists, print your directory tree, and make a boot disk.

Winsock Swapper

The purpose of Winsock Swapper is to automate the process of swapping various WINSOCK.DLL files for those of you who use more than one Internet service provider with your default Web Browser. With one quick double-click, you can swap up to three DLL's, and optionally launch your browser. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

YahtC

This game is a clone of the immensely popular game, Yahtzee. YahtC combines attractive 3D graphics with extreme ease of use. There are no complicated instructions, and no hidden forms. Each player's score is always visible. A sound card, while certainly not necessary, will greatly enhance the game, which produces sound effects when a player rolls the dice, "zeroes" out a scoring category, or rolls a "YahtC". The game will also keep a permanent record of High Scores, which can be easily cleared at any time. YahtC is fully functional, and supports up to 4 players.

ZipWorks

ZipWorks is a full featured 32 bit ZIP file manipulater for Windows 95. The built-in 32 bit compression is fully compatible with PKZIP v2.04. With this program you can ZIP, UnZip, add comments to your ZIP files, test archive integrity, and repair damaged ZIP files. This program can create files across multiple disks, and can store directory structure, making it a pretty fair choice for a backup utility, though its "cousin", Safety Net Pro, might be a little better suited for that purpose. There is an option in the Preferences dialog to associate ZipWorks with the file extension "ZIP". We highly recommend that you take advantage of this very useful feature, which will add 3 right-click menu items to your appropriate zip files in Explorer - open, UnZip, and UnZip To Path. The primary help engine for this program revolves around the context-sensitive help concept that Windows 95 makes such liberal use of.
