Thank you for your interest in Funduc Software's Explorer
Extensions!

Explorer Extensions allow you to perform additional tasks
using a familiar interface: the Windows 95/NT Explorer.
You can split and concatenate files to/from diskettes;
Encode/Decode UUENCODED, Base64(MIME), Binhex files
(Decode also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded, &
plain text), touch files (change time/date stamp as
well as attributes)

New features in v1.0-4.1 include:
- 64-bit version (x64)
- Support for Windows Vista
- Time & Date variables added for use during file rename.
- Improved handling for split files function on very large
  files.
- Zip files Property menu in Explorer now contains a Zip
  Comment page allowing you to set/read the comment.
- Concatenate now has Move First and Move Last buttons.
- Improvements in concatenate and split when the files are
  not on removable media.
- Preserve Directory structure checkbox allows you to
  flatten the structure if you wish when you do File
  Operations.
- Select Directory/Archive and File Operation Preview
  dialogs can be resized.
- Concatenate allows one to alternate lines from text
  files in the merged file and it can also remove adjacent
  duplicate lines.
- File Operations allow you to perform Rename/Copy/Move/
  Delete operations on the selected files.  Complex masks
  can be used (see Help for details) and a Preview dialog
  is displayed to show exactly what changes will be made
  before they are made.
- In the Touch dialog you can now add or subtract (use a
  negative value) seconds from the date/time stamp of
  selected files.
- Support for file checksum generation, sorting by checksum
  and duplicate matching using file checksums.  Output files
  can also contain checksum values.
- Split can now be performed based on a string to be found in
  the file. The split can be made before or after the string
  is found.
- Enhanced decoding and Quoted-Printable support for encoding
- Dialog prompts if a disk should be cleaned before a split
  file can be copied (if necessary).
- New About box with live Web and E-MAIL links.
- Split creates BAT files for easy concatenation without
  using the extensions (perhaps on another machine).
- New Directory Picker dialog.

Features planned for future releases include:

- Display and print statistics on files/folders selected.

As part of the registration fee, you will also receive free
updates and customer support for six months (by E-MAIL).
For ordering information, see the help file or the About
Box (on the system menu).

Other Funduc Software utilities that can be found at our
web site (http://www.funduc.com) and other locations such
as WUGNET's (Windows User Group Network) CompuServe
forums (GO WINSHARE), the Simtel file archives
(http://www.simtel.com) or America On Line include:

Search and Replace (shareware) - Search and Replace
looks through multiple files for a string and can also
replace it with another string.  It can search
subdirectories and ZIP files and do case sensitive or
insensitive searches.  Extensive support for regular
expression (egrep) search & replacement includes
operations that span more than one line, insertion of
the path & filename during replacements, and
incrementing number replacements.  Binary search &
replace mode can be combined with regular expressions.
Precise control over replacements is available through
multiple confirmation options and a built-in context
viewer that allows you to view replacements in-context,
before they are made. An HTML Mode can be used to make
html special character code substitutions during
search/replace. Ignore Whitespace
mode makes it convenient to handle spaces & cr-lf during
non-regular expression operations. A built-in script
editor makes frequent &/or complex multi-step
search/replace operations easy to prepare.  Advanced
script operations include a boolean expression evaluator
that provides additional control over which files are
processed by the script. Advanced scripts also allow you
to specify the program options in effect, insert comments
in scripts, and perform iterative script operations.
Multiple file masks and file date & size filters can be
used to include &/or exclude files during regular and
scripted operations. The internal context viewer includes
a build-in editor for editing text files. The full
complement of command line switches (including script
launching) is ideal for network managers & advanced
users. Other functions include: "Touch" files (change
time/date stamp & file attributes); Preservation of
original file date during replacements; Replacements on
backup path files instead of the originals; Output
reports to monitor operations; Shell extensions to launch
Search & Replace from Explorer and the Find Menu; and
more. All the latest functions are available in a 32-bit
version that runs under Windows 95/98/NT and Windows
2000. A 16-bit version for Windows 3.1x is available. A
detailed help file with examples are included. Several
foreign language interface are available from
http://www.funduc.com. Cost: $25

Directory Toolkit (shareware) - A multipurpose directory
comparison and file manager that provides features
missing from Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 or higher.
It displays single directory lists or side- by-side
directory comparisons using color coding for alike,
different, or missing files.  Comparisons can be based on
dates or a binary file analysis of file content.  You can
copy, move, & rename files while retaining long filenames
and six built-in synchronize functions simplify updating
directories. Built-in archive functions, with Explorer
shell extensions, let you create & manage archives from
Explorer and use Directory Toolkit as your primary
archive manager for supported archives (zip, tar, gz, lz
(read only), & cab).  File operations and directory
comparison functions work seamlessly on files in
archives, e.g., no need to manually extract files first.
Other features include statistics for file counts and
path sizes; Ignoring filename case during comparisons;
Explorer compatible OLE drag n Drop; Split/Concatenate
files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode UENCODE,
Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), and XXENCODE formats
(Decode also includes quoted-printable, 7 bit unencoded,
& plain text); An integrated comparison viewer for a
color coded display of the actual differences in files;
Safe physical sort of directories; Touch files (change
time/date & attributes stamps); Find duplicate files
on a drive; Open files and launch applications; Multiple
include/exclude file masks and the ability to include/
exclude files based on size and date; Command line
switches & script functions to automate comparisons &
synchronize operations & control program options in
effect via batch files; Configurable output file and
print functions to create reports of single and
comparison directory lists; Detects & runs (optionally)
setup programs in archives;
Display file version information including 8.3 file name
equivalents; File numbering to number files sequentially
based on adjustable sort order and a user defined
starting value.  Help file with examples included.
International versions are available from
http://www.funduc.com. Cost: $25

Funduc Software ZIP Extractor (freeware) - A ZIP
"self-extractor stub" that lets you turn your ZIP files
into a self-extracting executable that will automatically
unZIP the archive when launched. This allows you to share
your zip files with another person who might not have an
unzip software on their computer &/or who might have only
occasional use for an unzip tool. The self- extractor
allows some or all files to be extracted, create the
paths in the zip file (default) or "flatten" the
directory structure (unzip into a single path), or
extract some (or all) of the files in the zip. Cost:
Free.

Registry Toolkit (shareware) - Registry Toolkit is a
utility for advanced computer users that performs search
&/or replacement operations on the Win 95/98/NT/2000
registry. You can search/replace using simple or regular
expressions in registry data, values, keys (or any
combination) and specify the types of data to process.
Searches can also be case sensitive/insensitive settings
& whole word only. You can browse the registry & select
the starting point for a search/replace. If you cancel a
search the results up to that point (if any) are
displayed in a tree list. A print (w/ preview) function
lets you print the display. Replaces can be previewed in
advance of an actual replace operation. Replace
confirmations can be turned off. Data can be exported to
a .reg file and the import function has a configurable
comparison preview to show alike, different, & new
information in advance of the actual import. You can also
manually create and edit keys, values, & data of all
types, delete keys & values (after confirmation), and
undo the last changes made. Registry Toolkit will operate
on a remote registry (if you have permission to do so).
Scripts and command line switches are available for
frequent, complex, or automated operations. You can also
do copy/move/delete/export operations on specific
data/values. A german interface is available. Cost: $25

Folder Synchronize - Folder Synchronize is a command-line
utility useful to network administrators and other power
users.  It provides a subset of the functions in our
Directory Toolkit utility, namely, the comparison &
synchronize functions.  We created Folder Synchronize for
those who needed those functions but not the GUI
interface & other functions of Directory Toolkit such as
archive management, file operations, etc. Folder
Synchronize is a native 32- bit executable for use with
Win 95/98/NT/2000. Folder Synchronize can synchronize
two paths using one of 6 synch methods. The program can
also do a comparison-only. This is useful with the output
report function. When the output report is enabled it
will contain a summary of the path comparison &/or a
summary of the file operations carried out by the
synchronize. Other features include: Switchable display
(or not) of a progress meter; A custom bitmap & message
of your choice can be displayed on the screen while an
operation progresses; A 'No Cancel' switch can be used to
make it less easy for a procedure to be interrupted;
Require (or not) confirmation of file operations; Complex
include/exclude file masks that let you include/exclude
some file or subdirectores while including others;
Multiple operations can be submitted to the program via
multiple 'configuration files'. Cost: $25

File Merge Express (shareware) - File Merge Express is a
file comparison and merge utility for Windows 95/98/NT
and Windows 2000. The program displays a contents
comparison of two files and can (optionally) create a
third file consisting of the merge of the two files being
compared. That third file can (optionally) be opened in
the built-in text (or binary) editor. Multiple
configurations choices are available for the file
contents comparison and the merge file contents
including: difference prefixes, display colors, whether
or not to include common sections, etc. Command line
switch and a script syntax are available for your
automated routines. The program also includes a Windows
Explorer extension that allows you to launch a comparison
from Windows Explorer. Cost: $25

Shortcut Doctor (shareware) - Shortcut Doctor allows you
to check your Win 95/98/NT/2000 links/shortcuts and see
which contain targets which can no longer be found. The
program can then delete the shortcuts, resolve them, or
carry out search/replace operations to modify shortcut
fields with or without validation of new paths. Network
Drive mappings can be inserted in the Replace dialog
automatically. Individual shortcuts can be edited and all
shortcuts on a drive can be displayed, regardless of
whether they are valid or not. Explorer Internet URLS can
also be checked for problems. CD-ROM drives, network
drives, and specific paths can be ignored during
processing. Includes an Empty Recent Documents button.
Script files, run from the command line, allow you to do
multiple operations, control program options, and easily
specify complex paths. A german interface is available.
Cost: $15.

Funduc Explorer Extensions (shareware) - Funduc Explorer
Extensions is a collection of enhancements for the
Windows 95/98/NT/2000 Explorer right-click context menu:
a) Encode and Decode Email attachments - support for
UUENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), XXENCODE,
quoted-printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text, b) Split
and Concatenate large files into smaller ones for storage
on floppies & visa versa. Split can be based on file size
or a string found in a file, c) Touch files - change the
time, date, & attributes of files. Touch can add (or
subtract) a user specified time value from the current
file time. d) File Operations - copy/move/rename/delete
files using complex file masks. The program can also
change case of file names & number files. A german
version is also available. Cost: $15.

Drive Bar (shareware) - Drive Bar allows you to
conveniently open views of your drives in Windows
Explorer. Drive Bar's Auto Hide function allows it to
disappear from view when not in use so that it does not
take up screen space when not in use. You can resize
Drive Bar and have it remain visible at all times if you
like. You can also specify a File Manager program to use
instead of Windows Explorer, launch drive views as
"Tiled" or not, not include specified drives in the list
of drive icons, and have Drive Bar run automatically at
Windows startup (see Options). Cost: $10.

Sort and Slice (shareware) - Sort and Slice allows easy
sorting and/or reformatting of Column Delimited files via
a wizard. The program can skip header lines, use regular
expression search/replace modify data, remove repeat
lines from files, pad fields & change alignment, and sort
on multiple fields ascending/descending. The column
delimiter can be specified. The columns to be output can
be changed &/or reordered. Sorts are constructed via a
step-by-step interface that allows the user to determine
(and modify) processing parameters. Unlike command line
sort utilities, confusing command line instructions are
not needed. The program includes a script function & can
be launched from the command line for frequent &/or
automated operations. Cost: $25.

Delivery Agent (shareware) - Delivery Agent is a
send-only email program with mail merge functions that is
intended for web site managers, administrators, customer
relations and support personnel, etc. It allows easy
delivery of frequently used, customer-requested email
messages (& MIME attachments) such as newsletters,
product upgrade announcements, support notes, etc. Bulk
deliveries can be sent via a list of addresses (recipient
addresses shielded). The program will check a POP email
account prior to sending message via SMTP for servers
that 'validate' the users current IP address prior to
allowing mail relays. The program can issue
user-specified headers - useful for sending 'html mail'
messages. Command line parameters allow you to specify
message to send, addresses, or program settings to use.
This allows the program to be incorporated into your
scripted routines. A log file of deliveries can be
enabled (or not). Cost: $25.

Patch Creator (shareware) - Created for software authors,
this is a two part program that is used to make patches
for updating registered versions software. Both the Patch
Creator (used on the developer's end) and the Patch
Applicator (which is what applies the patch on the end
user's machine) are easy to use GUI programs. Command
line switches or complicated run instructions are not
necessary on the user's end. The creator is a Win
95/98/NT utility. It can create either 16 or 32 bit
patches that are self-contained in a single GUI .EXE. You
can require passwords to run the Applicator (or not).
Patches can be created to update files on users' machines
from a specific version, add files regardless of existing
version, remove files, or rename files. Patches that
conduct 'updates' are based on binary differences between
old vs. new files. Compression can be used to further
reduce the size of the patch. Patches for multiple
versions can be include in a single patch file. Patches
can be configured to use a registry value on the end
user's machine for setup path information and the
applicator can also write a .reg file to the user's
registry upon completion. In addition, patches can be set
up to halt operations if specified files(s) are not found
on the end user's machine. This can be used, for example,
to not patch any files if a critical file you specify is
not present. The Patch Creator has a script language for
saving complex patch setups and it can be run from the
command line for use in automated routines. A German
version is also available. Cost: $75.

Decode/Encode DLLs (shareware) - Also a tool for software
developers, the Decode/Encode DLLs can be called from any
Windows programming language (such as VB, Visual C,
Powerbuilder, etc.). It allows you to automatically
detect if a given file is UUENCODED, Base64(MIME),
XXENCODED, BinHex, encoded with a user-supplied table,
quoted-printable, or plain text. The DLL can then decode
the file(s) either in the current directory or in one
specified by the user. Binary files can also be encoded
for transmission over the Internet. Example code and a
model test program is included. Cost: $58 (no royalties).

HexView for Windows 95/NT (freeware) - HexView allows you
to view, print, print preview of any file as a Hex Dump.
HexView is intended as a free companion program to our
utility, Search and Replace. However, it is a standalone
application and you are free to use it as you see fit.
The source code (C++ using MFC 4.x or higher) can be
downloaded for free from http://www.funduc.com. A
Japanese version is available.

INI to Registry (freeware) - This program works well with
any program that relies on .ini files. It can read the
contents of any INI file and load them into the Windows
95/NT registry.  That way programs which previously used
INI files can read the old data from the registry.  The
program is free. The source code is available for $25.
Please E-MAIL [e-mail] for information on
purchasing the source code.

Decode Shell Extension (freeware) - This very popular
freeware app is an extension for the Windows
95/98/NT/2000 Explorer. The program allows you to decode
Internet email attachments by right-clicking on a saved
message file from Explorer and selecting Decode from the
menu. The program supports multiple attachments,
multi-part files (already concatenated), UUENCODED,
Base64(MIME), BinHex (Mac format), quoted-printable,
XXENCODED, plain text files, and User (table) encoded
files. If the attachment contains only one file, Decode
Shell Extension will offer to open it using either the
associated program or Notepad. For virus safety reasons,
it will not offer to launch .exe., .com, .bat, & .cmd
files. You should scan decoded Word and Excel files with
your anti-virus checker before loading them. Cost: Free.

TZAdjust (freeware) - TZAdjust, which stands for Time
Zone Adjust, is a freeware app we created for users who
find it necessary to make manual changes to the time zone
and 'day light savings' offset parameters for their
Windows 95/98/NT/2000 computers. TZAdjust is probably of
greatest interest to Windows NT/2000 users. NT/2000
returns time information as an offset from Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). In addition, the OS automatically makes
Daylight Savings compensations when reporting file times.
One can disable "Automatically Adjust for Daylight
Savings" entirely in the Windows Day/Time Properties
dialog but there may be other instances where finer
control over time zone and the daylight offset is
desired. Do not use TZAdjust casually. Be sure to read
the information in the 'readme.txt' before using this
program. Cost: Free.

Count Characters (freeware) - This little app was written
to: a) Allow users to dump the contents of combo, edit
and list boxes as well as static and button fields to the
clipboard.  This can come in handy for browser lists, as
well as items displayed by other applications to which
you otherwise have no access.  b) To help users
understand how applications are built (what types of
controls are used). Other tools are available for this of
course but they are usually known only to programmers.
c) To allow users to know at any time how many characters
they have typed in an edit box.  This might be useful,
for example, if a site asks you to only enter a certain
amount of data in their fields but don't tell you that
you went over until it's too late. Depending on the
editor, html authors might also find this handy for
double checking the length of meta tags. The contents of
password edit fields can be displayed in readable form -
useful for if you forgot a password you just created.
Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT versions included. Cost:
Free.

Limit Edit (freeware) - Expands upon the built-in limit
feature for edit boxes and rich edit controls by letting
you set your own maximum size settings for the amount of
text permitted in edit boxes and rich edit controls.  For
example, you could use Limit Edit to set a limit on the
amount of text allowed in an instance of the Notepad text
editor.  Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT versions included.
Cost: Free.
