Welcome to iUtils Beta 4/7/1997
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this set are a few programs that I made while testing things out.
I thought you might like them, because they are useful.
Mem.exe
Shows you how much memory Windows is using in real-time
if you minimize it, it will show you how much memory Windows
is using together with the % used of your swapfile.
Watch them Numbers rise gradually by 10 Meg as you load
Word 97! I Use this because the speed up Windows95 I have
Set the Swapfile to 24Mb (Min) and defragged it with Norton
Speed Disk. If you let windows manage its own swapfile,
Its still useful.
Millenium.exe
Cool, but useless program! Counts Down to the year 2000.
In Seconds, Hours, Minutes, its all there! Now it actually
goes to 0 at the millenium (Grin)
NLC.exe
Natural Language Clock. Tells you the time as you would say
it. Eg 10 to 3, 21 minutes past 2 etc. Can be minimized to
show Natural Language in the task Bar
Sheduler.exe
My favourite of all my test programs. This one can be used for
many things. The "Command To Execute" can be used just as
Double clicking in Explorer. EG c:\text.txt, which may hold
"Pick the Kids up" set to go off at 15:50. So you can
minimize and forget about it, and at 10 to 4 you will be
interupted by the text file saying PICK THE KIDS UP!
Double click Advanced options for more options.
You can use it for many things such as closing windows down,
running Scandisk etc.
You can run multiple copies set to different times.
My favourite command is:
CDPLAYER.exe /play e:\track01.cda
Which plays Oasis Wonderwall at a predetermined time!
If you experience difficulties with long filenames, try
putting the file name in quotes, eg. "C:\l o n g d i r\app.exe"
Cool! So what do I need to run these programs?
You need Windows95 and the VB5 Runtime file:
MSVBVM50.dll (not included because you can get it of a
disc, and its 1.3Mb)
gauge32.ocx
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
No installation Necessary, just unzip and run the files. I suggest
using Winzip and using Check out. -that will put them in a folder
and create startmenu short cuts, Very Clever!
If you can't find MSVBVM50.dll then you can either get it from my
website by downloading Winlogo (Beta) (http://winlogo.home.ml.org)
