Saver 2000 - Y2K Saver

ObjectSoft founder Yves Hanoulle created Saver 2000 because he found that not enough people realize the problem that the year 2000 will bring us in the computer world.

Did you put your PC on 2000 when you tested your programs? Really ? Did you try entering dates with the year 03, 08, 46 ? What is saved ? 2003, 1946 ? What is your aplication supposted to save? Do you use functions that compare dates ?

If you, your boss or your collegue believe there is time enough to look at the problem, you need this screensaver. Saver 2000 tells you the time left untill 01/01/2000, in seconds, minutes, hours, days. You can even change it to another date (your birthday), and add a little comment that will be shown on the screen too. (Saver 2000 will count up or down to whatever date you use.) Again you can control the several speeds, and tell Saver 2000 what you want to see on the screen.
It has also an install and de-install file, to make your life even more easy.

    y2k StartUp Screens

    I created some screens that replace the original Win 95 Startup ones. You have to copy logo.sys in the root of your startup drive, and the other two in the windows\system folder.

    Original Startup Screens

    Because I get a lot of mail for people asking me how to get the orginal Startup screens back. I put them also on the net. Only In english. You have to delete de logo.sys in the root. And copy the two files in the windows\system folder.

    From now on, you no longer have to be an artist or a programmer to create your own screensaver.
    TextSaver uses 15 of your own words to save your screen.
    The program lets you control all the different speeds/
    The program has an install and de-install file. So you don't have to worry about all our files that could eat your harddisk.

    Repair & Compact Utility

    This little program repairs an access '95 Database, when access screws it up again. And believe me it does that a lot.
    During the creation of Music Tracking, and the database redesign I did for it, I did not always want to start up Access if the database got corrupted in anyway.
    It is also used by people that do not have Access '95 on their machine, but use programs (like Music Tracking) that connect to an Access '95 database. If that database Screws up, they will not want to install Access to make the other program work again.
    At that moment Mt's Repair & compact utility is the answer.
    It fits on one disk, so for people that cross around the country to give support, it can come in handy too.
    The VB 5.0 version will be able to compact the database to a smaller size. This will even work on database with a password, when you know the password.
    At this moment you need the VB 4.0 runtime kit. It does not work for an access '97 database.


    Font Tracker 1.0

    I created this little utility after helping my future father in law for quite some time searching for the right font.
    I wanted a tool that gave me the possibility to see all the available windows fonts thet way they would be printed.
    I did look a little on the net, didn't find, and created it myself.


    Installation

    All the utilities are available in a zip file, and when mentioned also exist in a file with an installation and de-installation. You will find the uninstall in the windows Controle panel, under Add remove software. This is the only correct way to uninstall any windows '95 software!

    Please use it.

    If you just delete the directory (folder), then you have to understand, that is impossible to delete other files that where installed into the windows directory.

    If you like to get rid of all the files, just use the uninstall program. I can not be held responsible for bad de-installations or problems that occur after it.


    System Requirements

    * PC running Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 95
    * 2 MB free disk space. ( for the VB 5.0 runtime kit)
