  [Action ] section in a script.  See sample script
  and F1 hlp.
- Favorites menu for quick navigation to commonly used
  keys.
- Values/Data in subkeys can be processed or not using
  the 'Process Subkeys=' switch during script usage.
- Unicode format .reg files created by the Windows 2000
  regedit can be merged.
- Warning message added if you drag n drop a script
  on the program.  Use the command line syntax,

- Find function to search main dialog or import
  comparison for a string.
- Refresh function.
- Import REG file compare display has additional options.
- Export method via scripts.
- Undo files are created when importing .reg files or
  using the Registry Operations dialog.
- Script files are more flexible and provide a way to set
  a [Default] settings section.
- Separate 'undo' files, automatically named, are now saved
  in the path specified in the Replace tab of the
  Search/Replace dialog.  Previously there was a specific
  file name specified there.
- An unlimited number of 'undo' files can accumulate during
  a single program instance.  The program cleans up the
  oldest at startup.  The default number maintained is 10.
  This value can be changed w/ the dword value "Maximum
  Undo Files" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Funduc
  Software Inc.\Registry Toolkit\Settings
- In scripts, if the Output/Undo File= switch is specified
  the program reverts to the earlier method of creating a
  specific output/undo file.  If Output/Undo File= is not
  specified the new functioning is used. interactive mode
  usage.
- 'Undo last replace(s)' function is available in the Edit
  Menu.
- The program now has functions to read and display values
  or values/data under the highlighted key.
- The program can now accumulate an entire proposed replace
  operation in advance of implementation.  Specific changes
  can then be de-selected from implementation via a
  comparison preview dialog.  To use this turn on 'Prompt
  after Searching' in the Replace tab of the Search/Replace
  dialog.
- Copy/Move/Delete/Export Operations on keys and/or values
  can now be performed.  Entire keys and subkeys can be
  processed or just some values you select.
- Dword values can be processed now.  See Help for details
- Compare REG file to registry results can now be saved to
  the clipboard.
- Scripts and a registry setting can be used to make the
  program search for a value and replace its contents.  See
  the Help for script settings and the "Set Value Data"
  setting.
- Import from .REG file displays a preview of differences
  between what is currently in the registry and what the .REG
  file contains.
- Export to .REG feature is faster and allows one to export
  just the selected value if so desired.

Our shareware and freeware products 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 Windows 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 Windows 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.

Custom programming and consulting services are also available.
