??? What's New ???
__________________
-> SUPER-DELETE UTILITY
A file is never really erased until you use Birken Software's
Super-Delete Utility. In an office environment, temporary transfer
copies that are deleted after use can be obtained by other people using
such utilities as DOS' undelete or Norton's unerase. Don't let this
happen to you. Birken Software's Super-Delete Utility fully scrambles,
shrinks to zero bytes, and completely deletes your file from the face of
this earth. After using this utility, you will never again have to worry
about security leaks via undeleted transfer copies.
Keyword: SDEL
Released: 08/93
Rated: Most satisfactory and found useful
Registration Fee: $15.00
-> TSR TUTOR PACK
This is your introduction to writing resident programs in C or C++.
Birken Software's "TSR Tutor Pack" includes three simple TSRs: a screen
blanker (when you leave your computer for a long period of time, this
simple TSR will blank the screen thus saving it from the danger of
burn in), an on screen DOS clock (anytime you are in DOS, in the
upper-right corner a small clock appears telling you the current time),
and a program we call Friction (this simple TSR slows down your
computer to any rate you specify; now you can win those fast action
computer games that are too fast to play or use programs designed for
slower computers that run too fast on your computer). Full source code
and documentation included. Plus, to help you get started right away,
a TSR base, in which you can simply insert your source code that you want
resident, has been added to this package.
Keyword: TTP
Released: 10/93
Rated: Highly - A great introduction
Registration Fee: $5.00
-> PCX-TO-EXECUTABLE CONVERTER
Birken Software's PCX-TO-EXE Utility will take a standard 320x200,
256 color (VGA), image in PC Paintbrush's .PCX file format and convert it
to an executable file (.EXE). For you shareware programmers, this is a
great way to distribute a company logo.
Keyword: PCX2EXE
Released: 11/93
Rated: Highly - Found useful
Registration Fee: $5.00
-> IBID
Ibid is a challenging arcade and puzzle game. Your goal is to maneuver
a worm through various obstacles, including your long tail, in search of
precious diamonds. With every diamond obtained, you are closer to passing
the level, however your tail also grows longer. If you hit your tail or
any object on the field, you must start the level over again. The field
is made up of brick walls, one way passage ways, toggling walls,
transporter doors, and much more. Animated winning sequence included.
Keyword: IBID
Released: 02/94
Rated: Highly - Great for puzzle hunters
Registration Fee: $10.00
??? What's coming out soon ???

-> MOUSE-OBJ LIBRARY
For the first time, a novice programmer can enhance their programs
with mouse capabilities. Birken Software has put together a grand
library of mouse commands that can easily be implemented into your
C++ programs. Never again will your programs be the same. Give your
programs that professional touch with the following abilities: mouse
support, buttons, your own mouse cursors, animating mouse cursor,
emulated mouse cursor, and much much more. To make it simpler to
create mouse cursors, we have included a utility that lets you draw
and later load your creations into your programs.
Estimated release: 05/94
Rated: Very highly - a must for C++ programmers
Registration Fee: Possibly as low as 8$ (super price)
-> TEXT-TO-EXECUTABLE UTILITY
For you shareware programmers, never again include just plain text
files. Make your text files appear more professional. Birken
Software's Text-to-Executable Utility can take a text file and create
a stand alone executable that acts as a text browser for your file.
Estimated release: 04/94
Rated: Not yet rated
Registration Fee: Unknown
-> Flying Rhinoceroses and Swiss Cheese Screen Saver
If you accidentally leave your computer on for hours without use, you
can damage your monitor. Images can get burnt in and make it very
difficult to read from the screen. In an office environment, screen
burn-in can easily occur. Don't let this happen to you. Birken
Software's "Flying Rhinoceroses and Swiss Cheese Screen Saver" is the
answer. Simply run this application whenever you leave your computer.
Or if you have a harddrive manager which possess a screen saver option,
set it up to run this program. On execution, purple flying rhinoceroses
fly among giant hunks of swiss cheese! Smooth animation even on slow
computers. Requires VGA. This is a non-TSR application.
Estimated release: 04/94
Rated: Very humorous and great animation
Registration Fee: $0 (for all to use without registration)
