Purpose of the program

It is a computer security software, which enables you to apply protection to certain files under Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 and restrict others from being able to start, see, change or delete them. File protection activates automatically according to a current user and a defined for it timetable. You can define a timetable and a list of restricted files for each user individually as you like. For example, from 9:00 AM till 17:00 PM the user “Boss” can use Microsoft Office only, but after 17:00 PM it can also use his games and pictures while the user “Admin” has the full access at any time. You will find the program interface very easy to negotiate. Excellent online help is available.

Mail Bomber – send personalized e-mail to your customers utilising mailing lists

http://www.softheap.com/bomber.html

Mailing lists have become an important feature for many web sites and individual PC users. Whether you're notifying customers of new products or simply sending a message to a group of friends, lists offer a quick and easy way of communicating. Mail Bomber is a basic, yet surprisingly flexible, tool for sending mass messages. It provides everything you need for managing lists, writing messages and sending them over the Internet. In fact, you can maintain a number of separate mailing lists, messages and SMTP servers for different audiences and needs. Mail Bomber is very easy to use. All of its main features are accessible from the main interface. Most functions can be executed with a click or hotkey. A great feature is the program's templates, which allow you to personalize messages to individual recipients. In addition to e-mail address, you can enter the names of customers or friends. Once the desired template is chosen, all you need to do is compose your message. While Mail Bomber is in operation, it automatically merges names with the messages. Mail Bomber lets you efficiently manage your lists. You can perform searches for records as well as modify, insert and remove items.

Cyclanoid – free puzzle game

http://www.softheap.com

Cyclanoid is a challenging tile-based puzzle game. The objective is to arrange the tiles in the center of the board to match the ones displayed along the game-area border. However, you move the tiles in groups of four or more by spinning them with a control located in the corner where four tiles touch. Similar to a 2D Rubik's Cube, Cyclanoid is harder than it looks since you must get the tiles aligned without disrupting your previous work. It also includes a built-in visual puzzle builder for creating your own games. The graphics are attractive, and MIDI-based music and crisp digital sound effects add to the fun. Plus, an automated demo shows the movement options of the more complex games. When you purchase, you'll get access to over 20 different puzzles, with various board sizes and skill levels.

AlterJig – free jigsaw game

http://www.softheap.com

AlterJig is a tile-based jigsaw puzzle game. You select one of several graphics supplied with the game or create your own puzzle from any bitmap. When you select "new game", AlterJig scrambles the puzzle and challenges you to restore the picture by rotating groups of four tiles to get the tiles back to their proper position. Tile rotation is controlled by left and right mouse buttons. It sounds easier to solve than it is. There is a brief help file, but the demo mode helps you understand the game, which is pretty self-explanatory.

AbcPuzzles – free logic games

http://www.softheap.com

AbcPuzzles offers two variations on a tile-based puzzle game. Each uses the same basic engine, in which you move the tiles in groups of four or more by spinning them with the control located in the corner where four tiles touch. Much like Rubik's Cube in two dimensions, the games are harder than they first look since you must get the tiles properly aligned without disrupting your previous work. AlterJig uses images, scrambling the inner blocks but leaving the outside one intact. Five images are provided, and your own properly formatted bitmaps can be used. Cyclanoid is similar, but your task is to arrange the tiles in rows to match the icons displayed along the game-area border. Demo modes and documentation are included for both games.
