This program from Intel identifies the speed the processor is running in your system but cannot reveal what it was originally specified for. If the markings have been changed, only laboratory testing will disclose its original pedigree.

UFO is a great DOS file manager for those who use Windows 95, but prefer DOS for speed. UFO provides support for long filenames, and the Windows 95 Start menu, but operates in a DOS box. In addition to all the usual file management features, UFO provides support for archives. Your archives are treated as directories, and you can perform operations on them without unzipping the archives. The program also contains viewers, plus lots of other handy features, such as the TempTerminator, which deletes all your temporary files.

Symbol Selector is a nifty free utility which makes
using your TrueType symbol fonts easy. It works like the
"insert character" or "insert symbol"
command in your word processor, but it's much faster to
use: it loads faster, and the symbols are a decent size.
Choose the symbol you want, and copy it to your document
via the clipboard. The program shows the symbols in an
easy-to-see style, but you can increase or decrease the
size. You can also export fonts.

multitasking, create multi-volume archives spanning

punch. You can view files of almost any graphic format,
plus save them to another format -- so it's a conversion

zoom images, as well as set them as Windows wallpaper.

the program and you can convert graphics to 256 colours.
