ToWAVE by Bells and Whistles Software [73527,2544]
ToWave is a freeware program to convert any file, no matter what it is,
to a Microsoft Windows compatible sound file. It is a very "no frills"
approach to sound conversion because it does not attempt to recognize
the native format of sounds from the Mac, Amiga, or even from older
sound systems used on the PC (like the Sound Blaster .VOC format).
However, it works, and can convert even obscure formats if the sound is
not compressed or a sampling rate that is incompatible with Microsoft's
Multimedia Extensions (i.e. 11.025, 22.050, or 44.100 Khz). In order to
use the program you will need the Microsoft Visual Basic Runtime DLL
VBRUN100.DLL.
31FUN.ZIP

[$20.00]
3-D by Ray Donahue [70324,1204]
Welcome to the 3-d world of Windows! The file "three_d.dll" contains
functions for making a Windows 3.0 dialog box appear to have a
3-dimensional look. You can use your own discretion as to which controls
look good with a 3-d appearance. It requires that you make some minor
changes in your programs' source and build files. In order for the DLL
to function properly, it must be either in the directory where you are
running your program from or included in a directory which is contained
in your path. The source code for the demo.exe program is also included.
NOTE: This DLL currently supports resolutions of VGA or greater and does
not support monochrome at all!

bitmap or icon is used for displaying your button in both states.

run other Windows or DOS applications. 5in1 will flash when receiving a
WM_COMPACTING message from the Windows 3.0 kernel. This message is sent
to all top-level windows when Windows detects that more than 12.5
percent of system time over a 30- to 60- second interval is being spent

Words & Terms 1.01 by Curtis Ramsaver
Basically Word & Terms was designed for anyone who requires a quick and
handy reference for words and terms for Business, Health, English,
Medical, Fitness, Foreign Languages or anything else. A dictionary of
words arranged by establishing file names that reflect the category the
words fall into. It is also excellent as a Cookbook. Uses for Words &
Terms: I do a lot of work that requires a knowledge of legal terms, not
being a lawyer, it's great to be able to quickly find a term and an
explanation or usage of it. My wife has been scouring computer software
shops for software like this for some time, without luck. She finally
made me write it. She uses it for medical and health terms as well as
obscure English words. She also uses it as a cookbook.

ACHART11.ZIP
ASCII Chart 1.1 by Dave Lord
ACHART is a Windows 3.0 program which displays a character chart in the

character set. Smiley faces and all. ANSI character set using names
(NUL, SOH, STX, etc.) for the control characters. ANSI character set
using (^A, ^B, ^C, etc) for the control characters. EBCDIC character
set. Every time I see this I can't help but wonder what drugs they were
using that would make breaking up the alphabetic characters seem like a
good idea. A really remarkable encoding that everyone should be familiar
with.

AddMenu, v0.4.1 and Run, v0.2.0 by Robert M. Ryan [70324,227]
The program AddMenu is designed to let you add options to your system
menus. For example, if you use the File Manager all the time and you
get tired of always double clicking on the appropriate icon, this
program allows you to put the File Manager on your system menus. Thus,
you can access the desired programs from any menu. I am eager to hear
what people think, especially any problems encountered, comments about
any affect that it might have on system performance, etc. Please send
comments to Robert_Ryan@brown.edu or at any of the other e-mail
addresses below. The general idea of the program is that you specify
some menu text (i.e., the text that will show up on the menu) and then
specify the command line (i.e., the program name plus any options, if
any). When you select "Save", AddMenu will add that command to all of
your system menus.

Professional's Address Book by Dane Basch. [72027,3036]

for recording when you last saw a person, his/her company and position
in the company, his/her marital status and family, his/her affiliations
with organizations, groups, etc., and even a field to record birthdays
and gift ideas. So you see, this can be used by the professional for
contact management on a simple scale, or for personal use on a higher
scale than many address books.
ADFIX.ZIP
The included files fix two problems with After Dark for Windows 2.0.
The first problem concerns the Sound Blaster card operating in

The second files fixes the infamous "black & white" problem.
ADIALE.ZIP
[Free]
Dialer by George Lamson [73760,2135.]
This is a simple phone dialing program I wrote as my first VB project.
Its use is pretty straight forward. It is necessary to configure the
com port before a number can be dialed. The program will default to use
Com2 so it is not necessary to configure the port if Com2 will be used.
Names can be entered in and stored in the list box. A number can also be
entered directly into the entry text box. When a number has been
selected or entered it will be dialed when the Dial button is pressed.
When the dialog box appears, the phone should be picked up and the enter
key pressed to disconnect the modem and engage the phone line. The
ReDial button will redial the last number called. If a prefix for long
distance or and outside line is needed, it can be entered in the Prefix
text box and toggled using the check box. This program is completely
freeware and I've included the source code to show the "simple" API
calls necessary for com port access and dialing with a modem.

Application Launcher for Windows by Robert Fabian
Provide a list oriented alternative for the desktop populated with
icons. An important part of my motivation was to explore what is
possible in Visual Basic. The result is a reasonably convenient means of
launching Windows 3.0 applications by selecting from a list, where
facilities are provided to maintain the list. The list of applications
may be increased by pressing Add. You will then be able to add any exe,
com, bat, or pif file, together with an appropriate description.
Highlighted list elements can be removed by pressing Delete. Execution
of the file linked to a description happens by either double clicking on
the list element or by pressing the Execute button with an element
highlighted.

Corporation presents a layered approach to Power Management which is
termed Advanced Power Management(APM). APM is a specification that
defines a layered cooperative environment which allows applications,
operating systems, and the system BIOS to work together towards the goal
of reducing power consumption in Personal Computers. The primary purpose
of an APM implementation is to provide portable computer users increased
productivity and greater system availability by extending the useful

APPBAR3.ZIP
App Bar Launcher version 3.1415b by NEVERnever Software 12-2-92
A half year ago I saw AppDock, a NeXT alike button bar for Windows. I
liked it, but some disadvantages made me not to use it. It was Shareware
and made with Visual Basic. (so I had to place the vbrun100.dll on my
small hard disk), and because I thought I could do it better. How?
Appbar does basically the same as AppDock. It starts and (that's
different) closes programs selected from the icon bar. By clicking with
the left mouse button you start programs if they're not started at that
moment, or you close programs if they run at that moment. That's all.
Almost. The top button provides some system options as about, move and
exit. The second button provides a inboard "Exit Windows" option.

the Windows 3.0 conventions. Printer setup and printing is allowed from
any printer currently attached. The user is allowed to cancel the
printing from a modal dialog box. In addition to providing a base for
Visual Basic applications, App Shell also demonstrates many VB
functions. This includes a custom Windows DLL for printer setup. The C

Archery game for ToolBook by Mike Miller.
ToolBook archery is a game wherein players move the target with a mouse,
compensating for random wind conditions. When the player feels
comfortable with the target's position, he fires the arrow. The secret
to doing well is figuring out the effect that the wind will have on the
traveling arrow. The target's default position will yield a perfect
bullseye when there is no wind. The game is currently equipped to handle
1 to 4 players at a time, if someone desires more players all they need
to do is create a new page, name it "Player <X> " (e.g. a page for a
fifth player would need to be named "Player 5" and so on), and then save

Archery Game by Mike Miller
ToolBook archery is a game wherein players move the target with a mouse,
compensating for random wind conditions. When the player feels
comfortable with the target's position, he fires the arrow. The secret
to doing well is figuring out the effect that the wind will have on the
traveling arrow. The target's default position will yield a perfect
bullseye when there is no wind. Requires ToolBook.

Arrange Icons Version 1.00 by Martin Brown [100014,1354]
This is a simple example of how to use SendKeys within Visual Basic to
perform one of the most common functions of the Task Manager. I have
included the original code, but there are no comments as I felt it was
so simple it did not warrant it!! Place ArrangeI.Exe in your Startup
group . It will stay as an Icon until clicked, and then shell to
TaskMan.Exe, perform an Alt-A and minimize again. Simple, but effective.
ARRNGE.ZIP
Norton Desktop utility to arrange nbuttons.
One feature about NDW has bugged me (and probably be fixed soon) which
is that nbuttons could not be arranged. I've written a little program
which will arrange the nbuttons by editing the NDW.DAT file which is
stored in C:\NDW (in a normal install). ARRANGE must be run from the DOS
prompt NOT from a DOS window!! You must exit NDW. It is just a little
utility that fixed NDW for my own personal use. Freeware, not supported

by Lynn Wallace, Simple Software [70242,101]
This is the first release of AutoKey, the big 1.0.
AutoKey is an auto-save program for Windows, meaning it protects the
data in your Windows programs from power failures, user error, or the
ever-present UAEs, by telling those other Winapps to save their work
periodically. AutoKey can also send other keystrokes or menu commands.
AutoKey was developed on a limited budget, so only a subset of Windows
programs were used as targets. However, the basic approach is sound and
has worked for every Windows program tried (dozens). Please notify me
if AutoKey doesn't work against a particular program.

AXS210.ZIP
[$10.00]
Open Axess 2.10 by Stephen Gutz [71054,3220]
Windows 3.1 provides built-in support for Common Dialog boxes to perform
operations such as File Open and File Save As from within an
application. These Common Dialog Windows provide a consistent interface
across all applications that use them. However, you still have to climb
and descend directory trees and manually select drives or file types to
locate the file, type, or directory you want. Open Axess makes it easier
to use the Windows 3.1 Common Dialog Windows for file selection by
enhancing their operation to include:
1. automatically remembering the last 5 Types, the last 5 Files, and the
last 5 Directories used for each application that uses Common Dialog
Windows.
2. allowing you to specify 5 additional Permanent Types, Files, and
Directories for each application that uses Common Dialog Windows.
3. allowing you to create and change to a new subdirectory from within a
file selection Common Dialog Window. This permits you to create and
change to a new subdirectory from within the Save As Dialog Window
before saving a file.
4. allowing you to optionally display the following file properties at
the bottom of the Common Dialog Window for a selected file: the file
size in bytes, the date and time the file was last modified, and the
file attributes: Read, Write, Archive, and Hidden.
5. allowing you to find a file from within a file selection Common
Dialog Window and open the file by double-clicking on it.

TOTAL BANKRUPTCY DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM 2.0 by BIT LEGAL
Total Bankruptcy is not a new program. Total Bankruptcy has been in use
for over 3 years. I developed TB over the last several years in response
to Dallas Attorney's desire to gain access to a truly useful bankruptcy
program at a reason able cost. Until TB was introduced to the market the
only programs that were available either produced forms that in some
cases were simply not acceptable in the Courts or were not in the least
user friendly and in many cases you had to drag out the typewriter after
all in order to get things right. In fact, in this part of the world at
least, you had to spend $2,500 to $5,000 for really good software. This
was clearly out of line for all but the largest firms. Some attorney's
have replaced their expensive programs with TB because TB both
accomplishes everything that their old programs did and in the case of
chapter 13 plans was many times more sophisticated.

Windows image file viewer 1.2 by Bailey Brown, Jr. [73020,3442]
This is release 1.2 of my Windows image file viewer. This version
contains bug fixes over 1.11 and adds the capability to use a full 256
colors (full palette) when a 256 color windows driver is used. It will
read windows bitmap files (.BMP, .DIB, .RLE) and GIF files. It can be
used to convert GIF files to windows wallpaper by saving the .GIF as a
.BMP file. You can also copy the image and paste it into other Windows
applications. Now you can load an image in any format (such as PCX) that
your windows paint program supports into your windows paint program and
copy it and paste it into BBView. Remember to paste the palette also
(see menu). You can then save it in the GIF format. BBView saves each
image it loads from a file in discardable memory. This means if you want
to see an image you've already loaded, you don't have to wait for it to
be decoded again. If the system gets really low on memory, it will
discard these images and BBView will have to load them again. BBView
discards them automatically when you quit from it. This version, 1.2, is
FREE.

A Microsoft Windows program whose purpose is to improve the visibility

can be made to blink on and off, and (2) The cursor can be made much
larger, displaying either a large black arrow with a white border or a
large white arrow with a black border (or numerous others). Blinky is
intended primarily for laptop users, but a lot of application programs
could benefit from a blinking mouse cursor, even on standard CRT

BLITFIX.ZIP
BlitFix is a Windows utility that speeds up windowing on large
(1024x768) displays by forcing the CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT bit on for all top
windows. BlitFix sets all top level windows' CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT bits,
which means moving around windows on large non-coprocessed displays is
faster. BlitFix should work automatically, but you can force it to go to
work with a right-mouse-button click or keypress on its icon. Some
software already sets the CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT bit, so it won't speed up.
Displays smaller than 800x600 usually don't speed up very much. 256
color displays don't speed up at all. This software is freeware,

A strategy game Human vs Human or play against the computer. Computer
movement logic developed by Kevin S. Murray. The object of the game is
to secure more squares with your color than your opponent. You may move
from any of your occupied squares to an empty square. The empty square
must be within two squares from the originating square. If you move one
square, you retain possession of the original square. If you move two
squares, you lose possession of the original square (it becomes empty, it
is not automatically taken by your opponent). The game ends when all
squares on the board are filled. If you can not move, your opponent may
continue to move into all the empty squares until the board is full, or
a square is vacated that you can move in to (fat chance!).

Clipbox by Gordon L. Smith
Clipbox is a small utility written in Visual Basic (thus VBRUN100.DLL is

Windows Clipboard, whatever was on the Clipboard is lost. Clipbox will
allow you to grab what was on the Clipboard and either hold(GET BUTTON)
on a stack (which can be saved from session to session) or saved(LOG
BUTTON) in a log file. At any one time, eight different items, of 8K
each, can be held on the Clipbox Stack. Any amount of the Clipboard can
be saved to the log file. In addition, you can print what is currently
on the Clipboard (no limit on this size). Currently, Clipbox supports
only the Clipboard text mode. Clipbox can be started in one of two
modes: Stack or Log. In the Stack Mode, the program runs with all the
features as described in the rest of this help file. In the Stack mode,
you CANNOT change the log file; it is fixed as c:\windows\clipbox.log.
If you Start in the Log Mode, only the log features are available. For
further help on the Log Mode, go to the LOG MODE help section.

service in question. The major advantages of using a front end are
speeding up access, and eliminating the need to remember and type
complex commands.

CLIPST.ZIP
PC Magazine's CLIPSTAC Version 1.0 by Richard Hale Shaw
The Windows Clipboard over writes its entire contents the moment you
copy a fresh piece of text or cut a second image to it. The Clipboard
can hold one and only one item at a time; it is absolutely unforgiving.
And, as you may have found, it takes just one accidentally lost cut to
make you wish the Clipboard could accommodate multiple items. CLIPSTAC
eliminates this dangerous limitation. CLIPSTAC creates a stack, or
history list, of all the texts and bitmaps that any program cuts or
copies to or from the Clipboard. It saves all these items in a file,
CLIPSTAC.DAT, from which you can copy items back to the Clipboard by
selecting the desired entry from a list box. Thus, anything you put onto
the Clipboard can be retrieved and reused, day after day, from one
Windows session to another. This not only safeguards your work, but
makes the Clipboard a natural place to store and access frequently used
logos, boilerplate texts, and the like. 8-92

Color Selector Custom Dialog Control 1.0 by Scott Gourley [72311,613]
CLRCTRL is a kit that makes it easy for Microsoft Windows 3.0
programmers to include color selection controls in their application
dialogs. The core of the kit is a "dynamic link library," CLRCTRL.DLL,
which provides the dialog control in a self-contained package that can
easily be integrated into any program. The design of the DLL allows the
custom control to be manipulated the same way a built-in control is
manipulated, using the Dialog Editor found in the Microsoft Software
Development Kit. The design of the control is that of a combo box that
contains rectangles of color that can be selected by the user using the
normal input actions for combo boxes. By default, the color selector uses
the standard 16 "pure" colors as its selection palette, but this can be
changed using normal combo box messages.

The clySmic Icon Bar (Clysbar) is a series of nested vertical or

the implementations left a lot to be desired. So I wrote Clysbar to do
everything I'd want an icon bar to do. Clysbar is a Program Manager
replacement, but not a File Manager replacement. Note: Clysbar requires
Windows 3.1, as it takes advantage of many new 3.1 features, including
drag-and-drop and icons for DOS programs.

Clock of Doom 1.00 by Loran W. Richardson, Neon Softworks [70441,3037]
Clock of Doom (also known as COD) is a clock that has the unusual
characteristic of not telling the time. Instead, it tells how much the
U.S. military has spent so far this year on a second by second basis. Or
it will tell you how many acres of the world's irreplaceable forest are
being destroyed while you are staring at the clock. If that's not to
your liking, tell it to display the U.S. federal budget deficit. Watch
the deficit grow before your eyes! Still not impressed? Display the
barrels of oil being used by automobiles this year and watch the total
grow by staggering numbers as you sip a cup of coffee. Too depressed
now? OK, have it display something more uplifting. Something like the
number of miles ridden on bicycles so far this year. Or make up your own
clock. Whatever suits your mood, Clock of Doom will display it. 8-92

that allows window classed to be registered based on a previous class,
Memory management is also improved by the availability of sub segment
allocation, lastly, mixed model programming is facilitated by a slew of
functions similar to standard 'C' with the exception that they accept
far parameters. There are several sample applications the use the COMLIB:
TESTAPP, this includes all source to show a developer how to output
strings the stdio.exe terminal provided.
OOPAPP, This is an example application that describes object oriented
programming under windows. Oopapp shows how to hook a window and how to
create a subclass of window based on a previous class of windows and
shows how to modify behavior.
QSORT, is an example on how to call the lsort routine from a windows
application.
THREADS, is an example of how to write a multiple thread Windows
application.

Data Server is a name and address database, and a whole lot more! Data
Server PROVIDES information to other programs that use Dynamic Data
Exchange, such as Word for Windows. When using Data Server and a Word
document set up to access the information in Data Server, changes made
in the Data Server Database are AUTOMATICALLY reflected in your Word
document. In addition to managing other peoples names and addresses,
Data Server keeps a record of YOUR name, address, etc. Changes made to
the user information form in Data Server AUTOMATICALLY change the
information about you in the Word document.
Sounds complicated? It's not, Data Server was designed to provide its
services with the least amount of user effort. If you use Word's Mail
Merge feature, Data Server can create the mail merge data document from
its database, putting an end to tedious and complicated data document
maintenance. I hope you enjoy using Data Server, and that it makes your

Metz Desktop Manager 3.26A by Art Metz
METZ Desktop Manager is a comprehensive, yet easily understood menu
system and file manager for Microsoft Windows. Desktop Manager is a
Windows application program that combines several important and
time-saving features into one cohesive, menu operated program. The main
function of the program provides a capable menu system for all of your
Windows and non-Windows based applications. A single menu entry allows
the user to simultaneously call up and execute both the application
program and any data file that corresponds to that application, and move
to a specified directory. The menu system can access over 500 items per
menu (2 menu lists), across floppy or hard disk drives and all
directories. You have complete freedom as to menu categories, number of
menu items displayed on the screen, and can add multiple menus when
required. Additional Desktop Manager features include a fully
customizable screen display blanker (screen saver), Windows arrangement
functions, directory tree display, file finder, point-and-shoot file
manager, automatic menu generator, and a system lock utility. Display
options include a 12 or 24 hour clock on screen, a memory display that
details both DOS and Expanded EMS RAM, and current directory display.
Desktop Manager uses about 30K of memory, and comes with a clearly
written users guide.

A Flexible Development Environment
Nigel Thompson, Microsoft Developer Technology Group March 20, 1992
Text on the process of developing applications for the Microsoft Windows
graphical environment which sometimes requires a machine that is set up

(compilers, debuggers, and so on), and both released versions and
development versions of several applications. This article describes
techniques for establishing a correct development environment for a

Snapshot INI files for difference extraction.
The idea here is to present in one package all the elements to take a
complete inventory of one's system before and after software changes.
REQUIREMENTS: Windows NDW Batchrun (or adapt the *.WBT files to other
windows batch languages). HISTORY: I came across a reference to a batch file written by Kurt S.
that made use of two files from the IBMSYS forum to take a "snapshot" of
one's \Windows and \System subdirectories, as well as its SYSTEM.INI and
WIN.INI files. Once a new app has been loaded, running the "compare"
provided an itemized list of file additions within the two directories,
as well as itemized lists of changes in both the system.ini and win.ini
files. This proved invaluable in maintaining a database record of what a
given app had done to a system. I then used Norton Desktop's Batch
language to run Kurt S.'s two batch files seamlessly from Windows itself
so as to make the whole process as painless as possible.

DEF KEY by Vernon E. Davis, Jr. [71330,2705]
DEF KEY is a Keyboard Macro Program that allows the multiple keystrokes
to be assigned to and executed from any Windows application. The process
for this is very simplistic and straight-forward:
1. Use the Definition Key Selection on the DEF KEY main screen to select
a key that will be used to activate the commands. This is called the
Definition key.
2. Enter the keystrokes to mimic (letters, numbers and Special Syntax
commands, which include Windows Control keys.) This is called the
Definition.
3. Activate DEF KEY by clicking the ACTIVATE Button. This will cause
DEF KEY to go to a Minimized Icon at the bottom of the screen.
4. Start the application that you want to send the Definition to.
5. Press the appropriate Definition key and the Definition will execute.
6. Deactivate DEF KEY by restoring the Minimized Icon to its normal screen.

DialogBuilder by Bernd Beekes [100031,2063]
The DialogBuilder custom control is a central part of VB/Express, our

version takes its information (Projects, Tables, Attributes, Structures,
Controls, Properties, ... ) from a dictionary database. This gets very
valuable in large projects with a lot of forms with always the same
fields. You store (AND CHANGE) field information (size, type, validation
and help info, ...) in only ONE place. Because all the information is in
the data dictionary (in fact the DialogBuilder also stores information
about the generated forms), it is also possible to GENERATE code for
TYPE definitions and mask/database access. Please note:
- the DialogBuilder works with VB's standard AND with custom controls.
- You work in VB's design environment and have access to all its
techniques.

Text file on IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF DOS SESSIONS UNDER WINDOWS 3.0
Of all the capabilities that Windows acquires in the 386 enhanced mode,
none seems more mysterious as its capability to multitask DOS
applications. I'm not going to spend any time debating whether or not
this is "true" multitasking, but I will discuss how to get the best
performance for DOS applications under Windows.
When you start a DOS session, the performance of that session - whether
it is simply a DOS prompt or a full-blown application - is controlled by
a Program Information File (PIF). If you don't start a DOS session from
a particular PIF, Windows uses the setting in a file called _DEFAULT.PIF
(the underscore character is part of the file name). Unfortunately,
Microsoft's factory default settings in the PIF are designed for the
worst possible case. This is almost guaranteed to harm the performance
of your DOS sessions.

2 utilities that make Windows 3.1 file manager into a complete shell for
Zipping and unzipping files. With Drag And Zip you can "drag" files from
file manager and "drop" them on the Drag And Zip icon and run PKZIP on
them to compress them into Zip files. When you double-click on a Zip
file in file manager, Zip View will automatically be loaded and will you
show you the contents of the Zip file. You can view files, run programs,
delete files and extract any file or group of files from the Zip file.
Along with Drag And Zip and Zip View you need to be running Windows 3.1
or better and have your own copies of PKZIP and PKUNZIP. Zip View can be
used to show you the contents of a Zip file but if you want to extract
any files you will need your own copy of PKUNZIP.

Dr. Frank by Matt Pietrek [76117,1720]
A program that will help you perform a post-mortem on your Unrecoverable

of tools (described below) to assist programmers, and was written with
the programmer in mind, rather then the non-programmer. When an
exception occurs, Dr. Frank will intercept it, and write a file (or 2)
to your disk with information helpful to finding the cause of the
exception. Since Dr. Frank is oriented towards developers, it writes out
a short, concise report by default. If however, you do want more
information, there are several .INI file options which allow you to
configure the report to your needs. Dr. Frank is similar to DRWATSON,
and uses the same TOOLHELP.DLL. If you're so inclined, feel free to read
the program reference sections to get a better idea of what Dr. Frank &
Tools can do.

to easily create a database that contains a list of all your diskettes
and the files and free space available on each one. Optionally, you can
include a comment or description for each file on each diskette. Also,
you can have DiskTrak for Windows extract the names of files stored
inside "ZIP", "PAK", "ARC", "ZOO", and "LZH" archive files (and you can
create comments for these files as well.) DiskTrak for Windows also has
other useful disk and file related capabilities: it can label and
re-label diskettes, delete and/or restore files in its database, and
produce 5 types of hard and/or soft copy reports of its database
contents. Finally, DiskTrak for Windows supports several "usability"
functions such as screen color customization, database maintenance, and

inspired by programs like REmac and Talk that operate on the principle
of speeding up the system clock to a ridiculous speed, turning off
everything else, and faking dynamic modulation with the imperfect
dynamics of the PC speaker system and the human ear. For such a hack,
the sound is actually pretty good, although the quality depends on the
actual sound file and also may vary from system to system and speaker to
speaker.

DTP Browser Demo Version 1.01 by Scott Hanrahan, SJHDesign
As a desktop publishing (DTP) professional, I wrote this program to meet
a specific need. My hard disk is filled with images and blocks of text,
and no matter how carefully I stored them in subdirectories, it was
impossible to remember what each file contained. Often I found myself
needing to browse these data files to find a specific image or text, and
I had two choices: I could use my DTP programs to load and view multiple
text and image files, but DTP programs are large, load slowly and are
not well suited to this task. The other option was to load a text
viewer\editor (like Notepad) and a Bitmap program and jump from program
to program. While this is easier in Windows than in DOS, if I had a lot
of files to browse, most of my time was spent loading files one at a
time. The solution was a program that allowed loading of multiple text
AND bitmap files concurrently. Once I found the text I needed, I often
had to cut, paste and edit it, usually into a new window, so it would
help if this program had the ability to edit multiple document files. Of
course, many Windows programs can do that, but you would still need to
use a bitmap viewer to browse images. There was no small, fast program
that could do all this, so I wrote one- DTP Browser. Mind you, this is
no Visual Basic stuff.. DTP Browser is compact and very fast. 4-92

Reference Chart by Keoni Ahlo
This screen and density guide was designed especially for users of
CorelDRAW. It was originally intended to be printed to a file, then sent
to a typesetting bureau (for output on a Linotronic 100, 300, or some
other high- resolution device). Since the chart was created with
CorelDRAW, the percentages and numbers used on the chart are relative to
CorelDraw's numbering system, not necessarily what is considered the
industry's standard. For example, a 50% black, 55-line screen prescribed
in CorelDRAW may produce a darker or lighter than the standard-of-the-
industry 50% black, 55-line screen. Thus, the chart serves as a
quick-reference between prescribed values and actual printouts.
The chart, CHART.CDR, consists of 63 various percentages of black in
increments of 10%, while utilizing different halftone screens. This can
become extremely handy when you must send work to a bureau for 1270 DPI
output and can only proof your work on a 300 DPI laser printer. Certain
screens may show up on your laser printer, but may not on a Linotronic,
and vice-versa (by the way, if you do try to print this on a 300 DPI
laser printer, many of the screens may appear to be black; this is
because the laser printer is incapable of printing such fine screens).

under windows and severely impair the performance of windows in 386 mode
- or prevent you from doing anything else at all in other modes. This is
inconvenient since printing takes a long time.

GFA Basic. Load any BMP file into the program... Then resize the window.
You'll notice that the BMP will CHANGE IN SIZE with the window! This
type of graphics control usually requires a bulky Windows metafile
(.WMF), but GFA can do it with ANY BITMAP. The Copy command from the
Edit menu will copy the current image to the clipboard. From there you
can paste it into Paintbrush or your favorite graphics editor, make any
necessary changes, and save the new picture.

Easy Macro is a simple keystroke record and playback program. It is
designed to be simple and unobtrusive. Often times a keystroke sequence
needs to be repeated several times. Microsoft's Recorder will work, but
it is usually not worth the effort to switch from your application, run
it, select a playback key combination, record it, switch again from your
application, and then terminate the recording. With Easy Macro running,
you can hit a Start/Stop key, do your keystroke sequence, then hit the
Start/Stop key again. Once you have done this you can playback the
keystroke sequence merely by hitting the playback key. It can be used
while you are using any Windows program. You do not have to switch away

EMAIL212.ZIP
Freeware Network Email, version 2.12 by Ivory Tower Software
Copy EMAIL.EXE to a network drive to which all potential users have read
and write access. I suggest that you create a directory called EMAIL and
copy EMAIL.EXE there. For example, if your workstation sees a public
drive as drive H:, the workstation's path for Email would be:
H:\EMAIL\EMAIL.EXE
Any user who wants to run Network Email should install the Email icon in
his Windows program manager. He simply needs to do 'File,' 'New,'
'Program Item,' 'Browse' from the program manager menu, and browse the
network drive for EMAIL.EXE, and the Email icon will be placed in the
current program group. Email can then be run by simply double-clicking
the Email icon. Updated May 27, 1992

What is an Embedded Window? An embedded window is a fixed-size window
displayed within a winhelp topic. A DLL, which needs to accompany the
help file, controls the embedded window. This ability allows the help
author to display items that the help engine is not normally capable of

EtCetera by Doug Phasey [73340,3452]
A batch language interpreter for the Microsoft Windows environment.
EtCetera reads generic text files and translates commands into Windows
functions. Programming EtCetera is similar to programming BASIC or a DOS
batch file, such as AUTOEXEC.BAT. Each line (terminated by a carriage
return) is a single command and may be indented with spaces. These
files may be generated in either the EtCetera editor or saved from a
word processor in text-only format and later used with EtCetera.
EtCetera files are limited to 32K in size, but an EtCetera batch file
can load additional batch files. In actual testing, 32K has proven to
be more than adequate for any job we tried.
EXEVIEW.ZIP
Often applications wish to extract information from an executable file
without the application being loaded. The Windows Program Manager does
this when it extracts an icon from the .EXE to represent the
application. There are many other resources and tables in an EXE file
(or a DLL) that may be useful to certain applications. The EXEVIEW
sample demonstrates how to extract and decode these resources and tables
for executable or library files (FONTS and DRVs qualify as DLLs).
The EXEVIEW sample uses the Old and New Header formats has documented in
the Microsoft MS-DOS Encyclopedia. EXEVIEW loads these headers and the
associated tables that are pointed at by these headers. The include the
Entry Table, the Segment Table, the Resource Table, the Resident and
Non-Resident name tables as well as the Imported Name tables. In
addition to loading these tables, EXEVIEW will also load the resources
that can be found in the resource table. If the resource can be
displayed graphically (Icons, cursors, bitmaps, menus, etc...) then it
is. For string tables and directories (Icon, cursor, font, etc...) the
resources are listed in a text format. For more information on the file
formats and resource formats see the MS-DOS Encyclopedia, The September
1991 Microsoft Systems Journal or the Microsoft Open Tools.

Fatbits - A pixel magnifier program for Windows 3.0 By John Ridges
Fatbits is one of those mind bogglingly useful utility programs for
people writing Windows software. (If you're not a Windows programmer,
it'll probably bore you to tears). It magnifies an area of the screen
centered around the cursor and paints the giant pixels into a small,
tastefully decorated window. This can be indispensable when you want to
see something right down to the last pixel. This is a re-implementation
of a Mac desk accessory that's been around since day one. This one is a
little better than the Mac version since, due to the miracle of
multitasking, you can leave it open and still continue to use other
programs while it runs.

Folder Builder, v1.2 by Robert M. Ryan [70324,227]
When using Windows, there are icons for programs, but usually there are
no icons for documents. Thus, when you create a, say, Word for Windows
document, if you want to edit it again, you must start Word for Windows
and then use the "Open..." command to retrieve it. This program is
designed to provide you with a facility to build folders (or groups) of
documents. Thus, in these special document folders, there will be an
icon for each matching filename. For example, using Folder Builder you
can create a "Documents" folder of all C:\WINWORD\*.DOC files. The
system will assign icons to files based upon their extension. ICONS.ZIP
contains sample icon files for Word for Windows and Excel files. Feel
free to add your own. It should be appreciated that this is a rough 'n'
ready program, and has it's limitations. Nevertheless, I find it useful.
You may or may not.

FINDER 3.20 by Malcolm Hoar, [100010,2761]
Have you ever lost an application buried under another pile of
Windows? If the answer to this question is yes, then Finder is the
solution for you. Finder is a program which allows you to swap
between all of your active applications with tremendous ease.
Finder adds a control Icon to the title bar of your currently
active application, adjacent to the control menu Icon (ie near the
top left hand corner of your active window). Click this Icon and
you get a pull down list of your currently active applications.
Simply select the one you want and it will be activated and brought
to the top of the heap. Finder is so much more convenient than the
standard Windows features. For example, the Switch To item of the
Control Menu or double clicking the desktop to invoke Task Manager
(especially when your current application is full screen). Finder
works very nicely indeed with BackMenu and some consider it an
excellent replacement for BigDesk because it consumes far fewer
resources.

utilities it will recurse subdirectories in search of files. This
utility, however, has one major advantage over the others in these days
of heavy file compression and archiving in that it will open and scan
archives in search of it's files. ARC, ZIP, ARJ, LZH, and ZOO formats
are currently supported. Additional options allow the user to specify
search criteria other than the file mask including file dates and sizes.
Files and directories that are marked hidden, system, and read-only may
also be found.

FontManager for Windows version 2.0c
FontManager is designed to deal with the limits of installed font
resources in the Windows PostScript printer driver. This limit varies
from system to system and runs between 120 and 170 fonts. Prior to
FontManager, the only way to alter the installed PostScript soft fonts in
Windows was to either manually edit win.ini entries or to have multiple
win.ini files with different font configurations. FontManager automates
the task of changing PostScript font resources in Windows and ATM, and
allows these changes to be made quickly. These changes may be made
through any combination of user defined fontpaks or individual fonts. It
alleviates common kludges such as having multiple WIN.INI files.
FontManager also allows you to install and change the fonts used with
ATM in the same manner as WIN.INI. With FontManager, maintaining
mirrored font setups in win.ini and atm.ini is very simple. When
changing ATM resources, FontManager does offer the option to do an
orderly, automatic restart of Windows. FontManager will manage up to
2048 type 1 PostScript fonts and up to 6 PostScript printer ports.
Printer ports may be changed individually or as a group .
FMAN.ZIP

FMAN.EXE is a freeware replacement for the WIN 3.X file manager.

appears to work well with the new version. Though the WIN 3.1 File
Manager is a big improvement over the 3.0 FM, FMAN offers some
functions that are not included with FM.
RmDir - Remove Directory
Search - Specify a search pattern and FMAN will list only those
files that match the search pattern
Move - Copy files to another directory and erase the originals
List - An ASCII file lister that lists files in a text box and
displays BMP, ICO and WMF files
FMAN was written using Visual Basic and the Visual Basic Toolkit
add-on that provides an animated bitmap. In order to run properly
you will need a copy of VBRUN100.DLL in your path somewhere
(preferably in your \WINDOWS directory) and you also will need to have
the ANIBUTTON.VBX file in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

Fonter 5.0 by George Campbell [71571,222]
Windows 3.x lets you use fonts quickly and easily, both on the screen
and in your printed documents. Using Windows 3.1's True Type fonts, or
fonts automatically scaled by programs like Adobe Type Manger, Bitstream
FaceLift, and others, you can have access to thousands of typefaces, all
of which will work in any Windows program. But there's a problem. It's
often difficult to choose just the right font for the job. That's where
Fonter comes in. It lets you view any Windows font on the screen, in
several ways. Even better, Fonter lets you create printed lists of all
your fonts, with a text sample of each font. You can also print sample
sheets showing your font in all of its variations, and a character set
chart which will help you discover just what characters are in every
font. Windows uses the ANSI character set, which not only includes
normal keyboard characters, but foreign language and symbolic characters
as well. Still, all fonts don't contain exactly the same characters. You
need a way to find out if the characters you need are in the font you
want to use. Fonter lets you do that quickly.

The Goodies Working Model!
This working model is a functional, albeit limited, version of Goodies
File Manager Extensions for Windows 3.1. You can evaluate it in the
privacy of your own computer, and when you're ready to buy the more
flexible, more functional retail version you'll step up to all the
benefits that it provides. A section at the end of this document
describes the feature set of the complete Goodies version. There are
three pieces to this working model:
The Goodies Installer: A Windows-based installation program to get
Goodies up and running on your system.
The Goodies Menu: This menu, which appears in the File Manager menu
bar, adds some useful functions to File Manager. The section "Goodies
Working Model Feature Set" describes these functions. This working model
contains a subset of the whole Goodies function set, and is considerably
less configurable than the complete version.
The Goodies Button Palette: The button palette adds a graphical, point
and click interface to both Goodies and File Manager functions. It is a
floating, sizable button palette, which "attaches" itself to File
Manager while File Manager is running. See the section "Using the
Goodies Button Palette," for a complete description of the palette. This
working model contains a "fixed" palette -- you cannot add, delete or
reassign buttons in the palette.

copies of it went far afield. Ghost is simply for amusement, but I did
add to the About box a plug for my Windows programming book.

WinWord macros by Guy Gallo
Allows simple assignment and removal of key stroke combinations to
macros (either global or template bound). Enhancements over the built in
MacroAssignToKey: Allows the use of Alt-Char, Alt-Ctrl-Char, and
Alt-Shift-Char. In the built in routine the first two combinations are
disallowed. The last is reserved for Word for Windows's use. Note that
Word for Windows reserves these key sequences for it's own use in many
cases, so preventing you from reassigning them is a form of protection.
Use this routine cautiously, and backup all DOT files before you
experiment.

GPMVB2.ZIP
The file GPMVB2.ZIP contains files for a Visual Basic program that uses
DDE to manipulate/get data from Microsoft Word for Windows (WinWord).
The particular items in this program are not of much use, but they
illustrate some of what I have discovered about using DDE to control
WinWord and can be adapted to perform more useful functions. You might
also want to look at the sample I am posting as GPMVB1.ZIP, which
illustrates the use of VB to create/edit a form-based WinWord document.
GPMWW1.ZIP
The file GPMWW1.ZIP contains a Visual Basic program that uses DDE to
create a form-based document in Microsoft Word for Windows (WinWord).
The VB program is PROMNOTE.EXE: I am posting it here as an example of
how VB and WinWord can be used together via DDE (the source code for the
VB program is being posted in the MSBASIC forum as GPMVB1.ZIP). The
remaining file in this package is VBNOTE.DOT, a WinWord 1.x template
that should be copied to your WinWord template directory before running
the VB program. Running the VB program will call up a form that collects
data for a simple promissory note. When data entry is complete, there is
a button on the form that can be used to call up WinWord and create a
promissory note using the VBNOTE template. VBNOTE.DOT has dde fields
that read data out of the VB program. The dde fields are embedded in set
fields that assign the result of the dde field to a bookmark, which is
then referenced and formatted where applicable in the document; if you
have a color monitor, the items in the document that trace back to the
VB form should show up in red. A table at the beginning of the WinWord
document summarizes the data from the VB program used in the document.

GRAF20.ZIP
[$17.50]
Graphic Viewer is a graphic file viewer for the Windows 3.0 environment.
It is capable of displaying images in 2, 16, 256 and 24-bit color
formats. Supported file formats include Windows 3.0 BMP, OS/2 BMP and
PCX. It makes use of a custom control available from C/Systems. This
control provides the capability of displaying graphic files with more
colors than the standard Visual Basic Picture control. Support of the
extra colors requires a Super-VGA Windows 3.0 card and driver for 256
colors and a display card capable of displaying at least 32,768 colors
for 24-bit graphic files (e.g. ATI Wonder XL ).
GRAFST.ZIP
GrafStat is a custom control that displays a graphical gauge
representing the status of a given process. Currently, GrafStat can
emulate one general type of gauge, the indicator. The indicator
linearly represents an integer magnitude within a given range by
displaying, graphically, it's current value. The indicator provides two
styles, thermometer and needle. The thermometer style represents
process-status' as a partially "filled" value-region within a
rectangular area. The needle style similarly represents
process-status', except that the value region (including and previous to
the value mark) is not filled. All GrafStat styles allow the
customization of their appearance and function (e.g. display value or
percent text, changing colors, orientation, etc.).

Windows 3.0 offers a rudimentary one-time capacity to open a group of
applications, upon starting Windows, through the Load and Run capacities
in Win.ini. GroupWorker picks up from here, and greatly enhances your
capacity to set up individualized workspaces. With GroupWorker, you can
set up as many combinations of multiple applications as you like, and
have them all instantly running at the push of a button. And it's really
that easy.
GSF20.ZIP
Welcome to GScript version 2.0 by Guy Gallo [71171,3555]
The Gadfly Script Formatter (GScript) is a suite of styles and macros
for Word for Windows to aid in the editing and formatting of a
screenplay. In the olden days, writers hired script services to prepare
their manuscripts for submission. With the introduction of the Personal
Computer, screenwriters either settled for the best their word processor
could do, or purchased a second application to create a properly
formatted print version of the script. GScript greatly reduces the
effort required to enter, edit, and format a screenplay. GScript formats
a screenplay with proper indents, font selection and size, and strings
inserted at the top and bottom of the page (when the script is formatted
for printing).

GTOOLBOX 1.0 by Guy Gallo
This collection of macros began humbly enough during the initial release
of Word for Windows as a group of useful toggle macros, a couple of
window arrangement macros, and an envelope printing macro. Many, if not
most, of those macros came about either because I wanted them for my own
use, or because someone on the Word for Windows forum of CompuServe
suggested thus and such could not be done (and I took the bait). Many
came about as a direct result of conversations with James Gleick, Barry
Simon, and Robert Enns(the original other WinWord Gadfly Team members).
I'd like, again, to thank them and all the other members of that
remarkable forum, for their help and suggestions. With this release of
what was GTOOLS, with a new name GTOOLBOX I am gathering the vast
majority of my Word for Windows macros into a single package. And
requesting a single registration price for all.

Crop them down to smaller files
Adjust the brightness and color balance of the color ones.
Capture Windows screens or portions thereof.
Using Graphic Workshop, you can have your image files in the formats
that your software recognizes, all without keeping track of numerous
funky utilities. In addition, using the half toning and dithering
facilities of Graphic Workshop, you can convert full color digitized
photographs for use as superb black and white clip art, suitable for
inclusion in your documents.
GV-11.ZIP
Graphic Viewer . . . well, it views graphics. It works with the file
formats defined by Windows 3.0; thus, you can take a peek at bitmaps
(.BMP), icons , (.ICO), metafiles (.WMF), and compressed bitmaps (.RLE,
the kind you use for startup screens). As of yet, Graphic Viewer will
not convert between formats, but look for this capability in an upcoming
release. It's written in Microsoft's handy-dandy Visual Basic, so
you'll need the Visual Basic DLL (VBRUN100.DLL available on most BBSs
and all over Compu$erve) to run it.

Hearts 1.1 for Windows by Paul Pedriana [70541,3223]
A four player card game in which the goal is to get as few points as
possible. Cards of the heart suit are worth 1 point and the queen of
spades is worth 13 points. You want to avoid these 14 cards. The highest
card of the lead suit takes the four cards in the trick and the player
that does this gets to lead for the next trick. You must play the lead
suit if you have it, or else you can play any card. After 13 tricks are
played, the points are added up and cards are dealt again. The game is
over when a player gets 100 points (he is the loser).

added or removed through the HOTPOP setup dialog box. The setup
features a built in find file. Also there's a feature to only show
associated files so that only executable applications or their
associated files are shown. HotPop does not clutter up your desk
top with an icon. When it's first loaded the icon will appear
briefly meaning HOTPOP is loading and then disappears. Clicking on
HOTPOP again will open up the HOTPOP menu setup.

Copyright 1991 by Troy N. Stephens [76625,2402]
Half-Shell is a minimal replacement shell for Microsoft Windows 3.0's
Program Manager. Its main design goal is to free up memory for other
applications and, above all, make Windows load faster. To use
Half-Shell, you will need a PC-compatible system with an 80286 or higher
processor, running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or 3.1 in Standard or
386-Enhanced mode. Use of a mouse is optional.
HUNTER31.ZIP
Version 3.1 by Peter Eddy
File finder utility with pattern matching and more. Hunter is a
Microsoft Windows utility that allows you to search multiple disk drives
for file names that match a given file specification, like '*.doc' (all
document files) or multiple file specifications (like '*.doc *.txt
*.wri'). You can also search based on the age or size of a file. One
way in which Hunter distinguishes itself from other Windows file
finding utilities is that it doesn't require you to wait for a search to
complete for you to continue with your work. Hunter works in the
background while you get your work done. Hunter Is More Than A File Finder
How useful is a file finder if you can't remember the name of the file?
Hunter can search the contents of the files that it finds for a key word
or pattern of characters. When you find the name of the file or the
text you're looking for, simply double-click on the line you're
interested in. Hunter will load the file and the application that
created it.

exception granted to Jerry J. Shekhel's CHOMP (but it takes too long to
load - what's it doing in there anyway???). So at any rate I've put
together this little *steroids clone to see if Windows was capable of
good arcade action. I still haven't made up my mind on that question,
but most people who Beta tested Hyperoids found it pretty addictive.

This is a DLL which allows you to create great looking toolbars and

bitmap (or have someone else draw one), you can use toolwnd.dll to
create the nice toolbar or toolbox you've always wanted for your
application. The only other DLL I've seen which allows you to do this is
almost $300, and that doesn't even include source code! This DLL may not
be as fancy but it is extremely fast and it's only $35 ($75 with
source). A demo program with source has been included to show the power
of such a DLL. For those of you who have been waiting for this, sorry

IMPOSTER 1.01 by Darrell Burgan
This product offers the best of both worlds for Windows users--the speed
and convenience of a command-line with the elegance and access to
superior applications provided by Microsoft Windows. IMPOSTER supports
every internal command in DOS 5.0 as well as most external commands and
offers functionality not present in any competing product. It is capable
of launching both DOS and Windows programs and offers the additional
ability to execute any standard DOS batch file without launching a copy
of DOS. IMPOSTER's emulation of COMMAND.COM is so close that users may
forget they're not running DOS at all--just a carefully crafted Windows
program that emulates DOS as closely as possible. Also, IMPOSTER
supports many commands usually found in third-party packages such as
Symantec's Norton Utilities - commands that can search ASCII files for a
text string, to search all directories for a file, and to calculate the
disk space used by a list of files, etc. Unlike a DOS window, which
consumes as much as 640K of memory at all times, IMPOSTER uses much less
memory, allowing the user to run IMPOSTER at all times without
sacrificing scarce free RAM or free system resources.

Modify, view and print .INI files by Charles E. Kindel Jr. 9-91
Most Microsoft(tm) Windows applications, and Windows itself, use "INI" files to
store configuration information. The Windows 3. 0 documentation refers to
these files as initialization files. The most famous of all INI files is
the WIN.INI file. If you have been using Windows for any length of time,
you probably have, at the minimum, seen the contents of your WIN.INI file.
INIedit is a Windows 3 application designed to make modifying, viewing, and
printing Windows INI files easy. The application itself is composed of two
files, INIEDIT.EXE and CEKLIB.DLL. Both files are required in order for
INIedit to operate.

EDI Install Pro for Windows 1.0
When you have completed your application, you will require a method for
your clients to install it on their drive. EDI Install Pro is a program
designed especially for that purpose. It is easy to use by both you and
your customers. EDI Install Pro copies your files from the distribution
diskettes to the drive in a simple and pleasant manner. It introduces the
application, obtains the needed information, copies the files and
optionally creates a Program Manager group. How does EDI Install Pro work?
EDI Install Pro allows you to specify a directory structure, files to be
installed, PM group items, components, readme.txt files, and much more. It
asks the user for a destination directory, displays the minimum amount of
free space required and advises the user if the selected drive has
insufficient room. Optionally, it allows the user to select which
components to install. Throughout the installation EDI Install Pro
displays when a file is copied or a Program Manager group is created.
This allows the user to feel comfortable with the installation process
and to not worry about what the program is doing to the system. The only
time intervention is required is when a new disk needs to be inserted.
Finally, an advanced installation utility that doesn't take weeks to learn.
EDI Install Pro is a powerful new installer for Windows. Features dithered
and/or bit mapped background; user selectable components; PM group
creation; .INI file modification and creation; displays readme.txt; version
checking; full file compression with pack/unpack utilities; multiple disk
support; and custom DLL support allows you to expand the capabilities of
EDI Install Pro to handle almost any possible installation requirements.

KwikDraw - An Object Oriented Drawing Program
Freeware Version 1.30f Copyright 1991, 1992 Paul Schimpf
This drawing program, unlike a paint program, is object oriented. This
means that after drawing objects (such as rectangles, ellipses, lines,
text, curves, or polygons), you have the ability to select and modify them
as independent entities. In a paint program an object, once it is drawn,
loses it's identity as an independent entity. Any editing capability in a
paint program must thus treat all the objects as mere patterns of bits on
the drawing surface. KwikDraw has extensive on-line help that describes
its use. If you choose to purchase an unrestricted version then you will
also receive a manual. This Freeware version will limit the number of
objects that you may create to 32. This limit is high enough to make the
program useful for simple drawings (for example, see the file flow.kwk).
You are also allowed to load, print, and transfer the more complex
example drawings (such as train.kwk). If 32 objects is sufficient for
your purposes, then you are free to use and distribute this version, on
the condition that none of the files included in the distribution is
modified in any way.

LAUNCHER.EXE 2.1 by Chuck Steenburgh [72330,1776]
Do some of your programs require you to load a data file once you
start the program? Are these data files located in a different
directory, or do you have to enter several cryptic commands to get
your program to load a data file? LAUNCHER is designed to work with
any program that can accept the name of a data file on the command
line. LAUNCHER will display a menu of your data files, and then
start your application with the name of the file you select on the
command line to be loaded immediately. LAUNCHER uses a rather novel
method of automatically determining the name of the application you
are going to use it with. Rather than needing a configuration file
or complicated command line switches, LAUNCHER reads the
application name from its own file name. Rename the LAUNCHER.EXE
file after the application you want to run, PLUS ANY ONE ADDITIONAL
CHARACTER. Put this renamed version of launcher in the same
directory as your application, and you're ready to LAUNCH!

MCURSOR.ZIP
Modify Cursor by Farpoint Software
"Permanently" changes the shape of the system default mouse cursor. This
program may be run once, then erased from your hard disk to conserve
space. The original cursor setup is preserved and may be restored later
by running a batch file. Individual applications may change the shape of
mouse cursor under Windows 3.0; however, the system default cursor is
always the traditional right-handed arrow. It is possible for an
application to use the debugging "hook" functions in Windows to
effectively alter the system default cursor, but the disadvantages of
this method are: (1) The "cursor changer" program must always be
running, and (2) Microsoft doesn't recommend it. Farpoint Software's
cursor changer works by creating a duplicate display driver file with
the internally-coded cursor bitmap overwritten by the new user-selected
bitmap (the hotspot is adjusted also). The SYSTEM.INI file is altered to
use the new display driver. The original display driver is not touched,
and the original SYSTEM.INI is renamed to SYSTEM.BAK. A batch file
called RESETCSR.BAT will be created by the program. Running this batch
file will restore the original SYSTEM.INI and delete the duplicate
display driver.

parts of your drawing, but you can select and then delete the parts
you have drawn. This is also object-oriented in the sense that each
object has attributes that you may modify. For example, each object
you draw has a color, and you may change that color after you have
drawn it. You may also 'join' multiple objects together.

the "About..." button for a cool-looking about box, and click on
the "Exit" button to order a large with extra cheese. Memo Pad is
written in Microsoft's handy-dandy Visual Basic, so you'll need the
Visual Basic DLL (VBRUN100.DLL available on most BBSs and all over
Compu$erve) to run it. There is no charge for Memo Pad, but you are
forbidden to modify it or sell it (excepting BBS download fees).
However, i would appreciate an e-mail or letter telling me what you

about it. You can get source code this way too.

GPIB/DMM demonstration program by Mike Rhodes [72457,43]
This is a demonstration of what one can do with Visual Basic as a
control system. I wrote this in about two days. This includes the time
to take the software out of its shrink wrap, install it, learn the
"Visual Basic" way of doing things, and learning the new commands. The
actual code and design would probably take only 3 or 4 hours now doing
it from scratch. I have been looking for something that would allow me
to develop control and monitoring software under windows for a long
time. I tried the SDK and ToolBook but was disappointed in the enormous
time SDK took to do anything and the sluggishness and run time
dependence of ToolBook. The program is an electronic chart recorder
connected to a multi channel DVM via GPIB.

The Disk Space Meter by Brett Glass
"Keeping Tabs on Hard Disk Space"
Running out of disk space while you're running Windows can be more
than just an inconvenience; it can cost you hours of work. Many
Windows applications do not have good contingency plans for dealing
with low disk space, and Windows itself can sometimes crash if you
don't have enough room. On a network, these problems can crop up for
dozens of users at once if the server runs out of space. In short,
the power freedom Windows gives you comes with a price: eternal
vigilance. So, to help you maintain a watch on disk space when things
get tight, we offer a simple utility: the Disk Space Meter.

Minimum shell program by Lester Henderson. Nice.
MinShell is a bare bones Shell to replace Program Manager
Compare the memory/system usage:
Minshell 7K (upto 12K with Discardable) Resources Drain 1%
ProgMan 9K (upto 74K with Discardable) Resources Drain 15-24%
Windows applications tend to run at their best when they can load all of
their discardable code/data in memory without having to swap it in and
out. Since MinShell is a complete bare bones system, it really more
beneficial if you are addicted to one many programs that are designed to
launch/run applications without using FileManager/Program Manager.
MinShell works well with WallPaper Fanatics as it leaves the desktop
clear except for the menu bar at the top of the screen.

More Control by Sloop Software
More Control allows you to quickly and easily access many of those
settings in WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI that Microsoft did not see fit to
include in the Control Panel dialogs. Easily change the colors used by
the Windows help engine in displaying hypertext, the alignment of drop
down menus, the vertical spacing between icons, the font used to display
icon titles plus many other settings. More Control is accessed through
the Control Panel just like all the other Control Panel dialogs. To
install More Control, simply copy the files morecon.cpl and mcspin.dll
to your Windows system directory. Copy the file morecon.hlp to your
Windows directory if you wish to have online help. From now on, when you
run the Control Panel, you will have an additional icon in the Control
Panel window labeled More Control which will allow you to access the
program. To uninstall More Control simply delete the files mentioned
above. No fee is being charged for use of More Control. It is being
provided free of charge by Sloop Software. All we ask is you check out
our shareware program, Sloop Manager. Sloop Manager is a full-featured
replacement for Program Manager. It adds all those features Program
Manager should have had. VERY NICE!! 12-92 update
MOVEWIN1.ZIP
[$10.00]
File mover utility for Windows by Eric Jacobshagen [76676,732] 4-91
General Description: This program allows files and directories to be
moved, copied, or deleted. Directories can be manipulated just like
files. For the most part, a mouse initiates all of the actions and the
keyboard is rarely used. Operation: When the program begins, an empty
work space is presented. A row of disk buttons is placed below the menu
bar. Each button represents one of the disk drives on the computer.
There is a "trash icon" at the bottom of the application work space.
Clicking on a disk button, opens a window into the disk and displays the
current directory. A line at the top of the window, displays the number
of files and directories displayed and their total size. Multiple
windows for a disk are allowed. Navigation to different subdirectories
is possible by double clicking on the desired directory.
Authors Note: There still are a number of enhancements that I would like
to make to the program, like rename capability, on-line help, displaying
how much room is left on a drive, and providing a faster way to navigate
through subdirectories. If you find that there are other enhancements
that you would like to see in the program or if you have any problems
with the this version, please contact me at the address above or on
CompuServe. Some of your suggestions may be incorporated into the next
release.

MTHRDEMO.DLL a Multi-Thread 'Demo' library for Windows(tm)
The possibility for true 'multi-thread' operations under Windows(tm)
opens up many wonderful possibilities. The presence of a very effective
API that allows simple implementation of multi-thread programs is
therefore very important to Windows(tm) developers. I have provided a
*demo* version of a multi-thread system which I have been developing off
and on since the Windows(tm) release 3.0 SDK hit the shelves in 1990.
This library is the cumulative results of experimentation and experience
in adapting Windows(tm) 3.0 for multi-thread use. The user interface is
very well behaved and robust, and conforms to known standards whenever
possible, which include DPMI 0.9 and the Windows(tm) DDK, as well as
conversations that I had with various Microsoft Engineers at the
developer's conference in August 1991 for those functions which might be
otherwise considered 'undocumented'. The result is a very well-behaved
interface that attempts to timeshare the multiple threads of an
application EQUALLY with all other applications that use the message
loop for timesharing purposes, without compromising the user interface
response. TRY THE DEMO! I have purposely created a program that uses 1
thread for each 'ball' displayed on the screen. The process which
displays each ball has intentionally been left somewhat 'inefficient',
and I hope that it does not leave the viewer with an impression that the
multi-threaded library is *SLOW*. On the contrary, great care has been
taken to ensure that it is as efficient as possible, and still yields
all of the necessary functionality required for a multi-thread engine.
The 'slowness' of the demo program is (in part) an attempt to show that,
even with inefficient thread operations, the user interface is still
very very fast in responding to user input and timer events. I have
included the necessary support code and a sample program which can
provide you with enough information to create your own 'demo' program.

MULRUN15.ZIP
[$15.00]
MultiRun 1.5 by Stephen Posey, Yggdrasil Software
MultiRun is a simple Windows utility that allows you to make program
associations based on file extensions. I decided I wanted something like
this when I got the Norton Desktop for Windows. NDW allows you to
specify a default editor to run whenever the Edit command is selected
from a menu or the ButtonBar. This was wonderful, but I wanted to be
able to run the appropriate editor for the kind of file that I'd
selected. Windows, of course, allows you to specify File Associations
for pretty much any extensions you want (.COM, .EXE, .BAT, and .PIF
being notable exceptions), but I still wanted to assign the editing
function to a button or a menu selection; I felt that it would be more
natural when I selected (for instance) a PIF file, if "Edit" would then
run PifEdit. I've noticed that many other replacement shells for Windows
include the capability to assign a default editor as a command.
MultiRun should work with any of these as well. Neither the Program
Manager nor the File Manager that come with Windows have this feature as
far as I know--too bad for anyone not using a replacement shell.

NETWORK APPLICATION INSTALLER FOR WINDOWS offers an inexpensive way to
completely automate the installation of Windows applications on any
network. With N.A.I., an end user can completely install OR REMOVE a
Windows application with a click of the mouse, making a breeze out of
the configuration of new nodes or the upgrading of applications on all
nodes. The end user program, NAI.EXE, reads the file WINAPPS.LST, which
lists all available applications. When a user selects an application for
installation or removal, NAI.EXE reads a .DAT file for that application
(filename.DAT), which instructs NAI.EXE what steps to take to install
that application. The LAN Administrator program, NAIMAINT.EXE, provides
a quick, simple, user-friendly means of maintaining WINAPPS.LST and all
application .DAT files. Included with N.A.I. are ten sample application
.DAT files for popular Windows applications. To get a quick look at the
way NAI.EXE looks to the user and the way NAIMAINT.EXE operates, place
all the files in the same directory and run the executables. (You will
need to place the file VBRUN100.DLL in your \WINDOWS directory--it has
not been included in NAI.ZIP because it would more than double the size
of the .ZIP file, and it is widely available by itself and with many
other applications).

TASK-SWITCHED BUFFER MANAGER V2.0
The Task-Switched Buffer Manager v2.0 for IPX/SPX (TBMI2) is a program
used with multitasking environments to allow switching between
peer-to-peer applications. The Netware program file TBMI2.COM should be
used when a DR DOS application that makes direct calls to IPX or SPX
(called a peer-to-peer application) is run under Netware with a
multitasking environment (such as TaskMAX).
TaskMAX allows application task switching (sometimes called swapping).
Each application runs in a separate DR DOS session (sometimes called a
DR DOS Prompt) in 640K of memory. Part of this memory, called global
memory, contains drivers and TSRs such as COMMAND.COM and, if you are
running Netware, IPX.COM and NETx.COM. The other part of memory, called
local memory, contains the application and application data.

connected applications, its Control menu will contain three more items.
These items let you use GO-CR within that application without manually
switching back and forth between tasks. If your Windows application is
not part of the list INSTALL offers, you can later connect it to GO-CR
using SETUP: start your program, switch to GO-CR SETUP, and its Connect
to menu will offer all currently active applications to select from.
INSTALL and SETUP also let you select an option called Autorun. If it is
switched on, then GO-CR becomes part of your system. This has the
advantage that you never have to start GO-CR explicitly in order to be
able to use it from within a connected application. Just select that
application and GO-CR will be part of its control menu!

OnExit: Run Programs on Windows Shutdown by Paul Butcher Version 1.0
OnExit is a small utility which allows you to run programs when Windows
shuts down. This would be useful, for example, if you wanted to run a
backup program every time you exit windows, or a disc compactor, or an
image or mirror style program, etc. OnExit is free to all "personal"
users (although I'm not about to complain if you feel like contributing
to a poor student). Any commercial or governmental organization wishing
to use OnExit should contact the author to arrange a licensing deal.
Source code is available on request.

Printer's Apprentice 4.05 by Bryan T. Kinkel
Welcome to Printer's Apprentice 4.05, THE font browsing utility for
Windows 3.x. Printer's Apprentice is a referencing tool for all users of
type. Whether you are a professional designer, a layout artist, or a
casual user of scalable type, you will find Printer's Apprentice to be
an invaluable aid for your day to day work. The Printer's Apprentice is
most useful when used with Atech's Publisher's PowerPak, Adobe Type
Manager, HP's IntelliType, Bitstream's FaceLift, MoreFonts or any other
scalable type management software for Microsoft Windows. Printer's
Apprentice will be updated to include True Type support in Windows 3.1.
Printer's Apprentice helps you in two ways: First, PA is an online
resource for browsing the type families on your PC. It allows you to
view all 255 ANSI characters, in roman, bold, and italic at your PC
in any size up to 99. In addition, all characters of all fonts are at
your fingertips through the use of an on screen keyboard. Never again
will you have to fumble through the documentation for Adobe's Zapf
Dingbats or Atech's International Symbol looking for that special
bullet or pointy finger character. If it is on the keyboard, PA will
help you find it. In addition to the use as an on screen reference,
the Printer's Apprentice also generates professional looking specimen
sheets of archival quality. These specimen sheets range from a
general purpose sheet to keyboard layouts and ANSI charts. All are
capable of showing both you, and your customers, what qualities give
the face its distinguishing character. The sheets are useful for
creating font catalogs to store near the computer or printer as a
printed reference guide. An inventory option will print a comprehensive
listing of all available faces along with a sample of the characters.
This may be used to help with the "match the face to the name" game.

Powerbar/Write
The Windows Write ButtonBar by David Stewart, d.b.a. Argyle Softstuff
PowerBar/Write -- Making Write More Powerful! A lot of people use Write,
the bundled Windows word processor, for their simpler word processing;
many also use it for all of their word processing. While a lot of
Windows users think of Write as an underpowered word processor, we who
like it find Write's very lack of "power user" features a virtue--the
virtue of simplicity. Write makes up in ease of use and convenience (not
to mention thrift) what it lacks in power and features. But you've
probably wished that it were somewhat easier to operate--say, that it
had just a bit of that toolbar technology. Toolbars, icon bars,
button bars are among the most attractive features of Windows
applications. PowerBar/Write gives you toolbar technology for Windows
Write, incorporating the most useful and commonly used menu features of
Write in a ButtonBar that's always readily accessible. PowerBar/Write
can speed your work in Write, making it more the word processor you want
it to be. In addition, PowerBar/Write includes a utility menu that
includes a file finder and loader, application launching, sizing options
for Write, and setup options for PowerBar/Write. Thanks for taking a
look at PowerBar/Write. I'm sure you'll find it helpful and even
interesting to use.

PowerBBS/PowerComm Support BBS: (516) 822-7396

PowerCOMM is a very easy to use communications program. It has the
capability to call any ANSI-compatible BBS, however its main advantage
is when calling a PowerBBS System (and most likely the reason you have
picked this program up!). Please read this entire documentation before
attempting its use. PowerCOMM requires Windows/A Modem/A Mouse. If you
do not have these 3 items, this program will not work for you.
PowerComm permits you to use your MOUSE remotely, and to see actual
graphics from your local BBS. Note that PowerComm saves some ANSI
screens and Graphic files to disk. This is to permit quick retrieval
the second time your call a BBS! The first time may be a little slower,
but you'll speed by the next time around!

PhishEdit version 1.3 by Philip B. Eskelin, Jr. [76216,1410]
I am not going to say that this is the hottest icon editor out. Instead,
I will tell you that I tried to design it so that it had an easy,
intuitive, graphical interface. The tool bar and status bar were to aid
in efficiency. I named the editor "PhishEdit" (I know you are probably
wondering what relevance it has to drawing icons...) mainly because it
would be a catchy name, and I knew no one else would ever dream in their
pseudo-zen imaginations of the same name. Every where I look, there is
a massive saturation of things like "Icondraw", "Icon Manager", "Icon
Tamer"(where did they get that???), "Iconthis", "Iconthat", "Icon*.*",
etc. So, maybe PhishEdit will add a little spice to the world of
informationatyourfingertips-icon-insanity.

PMHOTKEY is a freeware utility to allow the user to set a hot key for

Windows (NDFW). Both PM and NDFW allow will let you assign hot keys to
all the individual program icons but they don't provide a way to assign
a hot key to themselves. PMHOTKEY provides this missing link. Since PM
and NDFW are the only real ways to start new programs, whenever you want
to get back to these main menus, you have to either Alt-Tab until you
find the menu or Ctrl-Escape and select the menu out of a task list.
Neither of these options are fast and both can be *really* annoying when
you have a lot of programs running at the same time. The hardest part of
using this hot key solution is learning to quit using the old way!<g>
With PMHOTKEY, anytime you want to get to the program menu, just hit the
hot key that you selected and your back at the program menu.

ProLauncher is a powerful application launching system. It may act

Manager, but goes beyond it with many additional features.
ProLauncher was written using Microsoft's Visual Basic 1.0, and
thus requires the file VBRUN100.DLL, available free of charge on
CompuServe and most BBS's. Custom controls provided by the Microsoft
VB Professional Toolkit and Sheridan Software. The DLL's were
constructed using Borland's Turbo Pascal for Windows. Features
Icon Bar: ProLauncher's main function is to launch other
applications. Its main window is a fully customizable Icon Bar which
can display up to 50 program items. Launching an application (or a
group of applications) is as simple as double-clicking on its icon.
No more hunting through all those Program Manager groups to find that
program you haven't used in a while: all programs assigned to
ProLauncher's Icon Bar are just a scroll-bar away. Also, ProLauncher
takes up only a fraction of the screen space of the Program Manager,
and includes many more features.

ProShape 1.0 by John K. Hazard Windows 2/3 object-based paint program.
Welcome to PRO-SHAPE, a wonderful yet simple paint program for Microsoft
Windows. PRO-SHAPE was originally developed for my personal needs. I
wanted to be able to draw some simple pictures that would be very
complicated to make on my IBM. At the time, Windows version 3 was not
available, and even some of the paint programs didn't exist. As I
worked on the program, I realized that this would be a useful addition
to many people's software. When Windows version 3 was introduced, I saw
even more interesting possibilities. I continued working on the
program, but was bothered when other paint programs emerged. Luckily
they were too expensive for my pocket (and many other peoples'), and I
continued to see a demand for my program. Well, the version of
PRO-SHAPE that you are currently viewing is still being worked on, but I
want to see some support.

PULSAR22.ZIP
[$25.00]
Pulsar by Peter Grigonis [72247,1463]
Pulsar was created out of frustration in switching between the
PostScript & PCL modes on our Company HP LaserJet printers under the
Windows environment. Our printers here are equipped with the PacificPage
(Version 2.2 now includes support for several additional PostScript & HP
Plotter cartridges) postscript cartridge and normally would require a
command string be sent via DOS and then running Window's Control Panel
to get Windows in sync with our mode intentions. We spent many-a-time
and lost many-a-page sending printouts to the 'wrong' printer thinking
it was being sent to the PostScript when it was actually being sent to
the PCL and vice versa, so we wrote Pulsar to simplify the matter.
Pulsar has grown somewhat from a simple PostScript/PCL switch to include
the most commonly used printer functions of the HP LaserJet family. In
addition, we added several of the Windows functions, i.e., Control
Panel, Print Manager & Printer Setup as well. With version 2.0, Pulsar
has been rewritten to work with the LaserJet III series of printers.

amount of time then disappears, to return with a new quote later. The
amount of time that the Window remains on the screen and the amount of
time that it stays hidden may both be set by the user. This program has
two purposes:
1) to be a (mildly) amusing diversion and excuse for
why you couldn't get that Excel spreadsheet done
on time
2) to provide budding Windows programmers with an
example of some of the things that can be done

QDHELP v2.0
This program allows you to use a normal text editor to generate
Windows 3.x help files. You will still need access to a copy of
the Microsoft Help Compiler. What you will not need is an editor
that outputs RTF (Rich Text Format). QDHELP takes an ASCII file that
contains commands, a very little bit like TeX, and outputs the RTF
format that the Microsoft Help compiler needs to churn out Windows
3.x help file. QDHELP is shareware. Check it out. If you use it
register it! To register just fill out the REGISTER.FRM file using
any ASCII editor and send it in. The cost is a drop in the bucket
next to RTF word processors.

The utility was designed to provide a stand-alone sound effects facility
in which multiple tone strings (queues) can be written and tested
outside of the source code and compiler environment. This frees the
programmer from having to rewrite and recompile source code over and
over again in the process of "fine tuning" a given sound effect.
QuickTone generates Windows API functions exclusively, making its output
completely compatible with any Windows applications

Using the WINDOWS API from Visual BASIC by Richard Mansfield (9-91)
Beneath Visual BASIC, within Windows, are hundreds of powerful, small
commands that are as tiny as they are useful. If you want to be able to
strike through or italicize a word (or an individual character in a text
box), or cause one icon to dissolve into another, or activate sound, or
design your own 3-D buttons...or hundreds of other things, you'll want
to find out about the "API" lurking underneath Visual BASIC and accessed
by calling them the same way you would call a sub or function. The API
(Application Programming Interface) is a fancy name for a set of
"libraries." These libraries are rich collections of commands, actions
that Windows will take if you touch one of the commands within them.
It's all handled for you in Visual BASIC -- just type in the Sub or
Function correctly and supply the required variables. These libraries
are present in the WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory under names such as USER.EXE
and GDI.EXE. Knowing how to access these commands greatly increases your
control over Windows and your ability to effectively program in Visual
BASIC. Using the API is like adding hundreds of specific procedures,
events, and properties to the already astonishing potency of Visual
BASIC.

RAWDDE.ZIP
Text file about RAW DDE by Sanford A. Staab Created: March 20, 1992
Dynamic data exchange (DDE) is one of the least understood capabilities
of the Microsoft. WindowsTM graphical environment. For the most part,
this lack of under standing results from the absence of a highly
detailed explanation of the correct protocol to use when performing DDE
transactions. This article describes each type of DDE transaction in a
table format that outlines what operations the client and server
applications must perform to complete the transaction properly. The
DDEML.DLL library in Windows version 3.1 removes the need for most
applications to deal with raw DDE transactions. However, understanding
proper DDE transaction protocol is a necessity when creating or
communicating with applications that do not use DDEML. 3-92

Need a business card? Rockford!'s your program. Using Rockford! with
Microsoft Windows 3, you can design professional-looking business
cards in just a few minutes. It's far easier to design your cards in
Rockford! than by following the traditional path of going to your

you hired a graphic designer to create a business card, you'd spend much
more than you did for this program, and the results might not be as
good. Using Rockford!, you have complete control over the entire design
process. Since you see your card on the screen, as it will appear when
printed, you can make as many changes as you like, as often as you like.

Res Gauge 1.3 (w/source) by Richard Franklin Albury [76477,534].
I've seen a few inquiries in the Windows development forums lately about
how to calculate free system resources. Since I've figured out how to
do this, I whipped up Res Gauge, which not only shows how this is
done but which should also prove to be a useful tool. A few notes
regarding the program:
o The display consists of an icon-sized "gas gauge", with used resources
in blue and free resources in white and also in text in the center of
the display.
o The make file builds the program to run only in protected mode.
o I use Mike Geary's FixDS, so you won't see MakeProcInstance() or EXPORT
in the source.
o You can only run one instance of this program, and it always stays
iconized. It doesn't make much sense to do things any other way.
o Feel free to use anything you find of use in the code. I'm not
possessive!

to do your work for you without you having to be there! Windows Reminder
was designed to let you set up and view your appointments as easily as

to be done that day. Enter in a time and Windows Reminder will
automatically set the alarm to display your message or run other
programs. Windows Reminder displays the time when running as an icon so
you can always keep track of what time it is.

RUNMOD.ZIP
RunModal [70720,3425.]
This DLL will allow you to run any EXE as if it were modal to your
application. Here's how it works: you pass the window handle (hWnd) of
the calling application along with the executable line (including
command-line parameters) to the DLL. The DLL then creates a tiny modal
dialog box (you can see this for a second on your screen). This dialog
box in turn hides itself and runs the command-line you passed to it. It
then sets up a call-back function which monitors Windows messages until
the application you called terminates. The dialog box then terminates
itself and returns control to your program. NOTE: This ONLY will work
with Windows 3.1 and later. One of the functions used is specific to 3.1
(the NotifyRegister function). If you must have 3.0 compatibility, this
function is not for you. However, you can download MODALE.ZIP which
contains a less elegant solution.

by Andreas Gruen September 30, 1991 Version 1.1 updated Aug 1, 1992
RX is the complement to the Resource-compiler RC shipped with the SDK.
It extracts resources from an compiled files into a form that is
readable and re-processable by RC. This means that you may easily change
menus, dialog-boxes or the icon(s) of a program and recompile it, without
having the source-code, although this is not the intended purpose. If
you do it, please note the copyright terms of the program you process.
You may better use RX to extract for example icons from an icon-library
to have them in a form you can import into other programs or work on
them with an icon-editor. Or you want to create fonts, but not from the
scratch. Or you want to see the authors of a program (often included in

Demonstrates how to launch a child task and then wait for it to

been compiled for 3.1 & 3.0 compatibility. TOOLHELP.DLL was not shipped
with 3.0 and consequently needs to be copied to the \windows\system
directory to run under 3.0. TERMWAIT installs a notification call back
function using NotifyRegister() before calling WinExec() to launch the
child task. All tasks in the system will call this notification
function before termination. The notification function calls
TaskFindHandle() to obtain TASKENTRY information about the terminating
task and consequently determines if the terminating task was launched by
TERMWAIT.

it came with Visual Basic. The current version will (at run time)
automatically force all instances of status bars to the bottom of the
screen and will force the first instance to be the width of your form
and the all others to be flush right. If the form is resized, the bar
will remain "glued" to the bottom. The first section will resize itself
to the width of the form and the others will remain glued to the bottom
right. You can change captions, colors and so forth as you would any
other control. I also added a special property (which can be accessed
from the properties list box) that allows you to change the status bar
from displaying as down, flat or up.

SuperButton, a VB Custom Control
VB is beautiful environment for application programming. With a GUI like
windows using buttons is a must. The picture controls already allows you
to create many buttons types. But what about buttons with geometric
shapes eventually over or underlaid with some kind of bitmap ? Not so
easy ? Buttons that keep their state, that don't need any click event
processing,... Well, the answer is here. SUPERBTN.VBX. Load the project
EXAMPLE.MAK into your VB and see for yourself. The Superbutton
Playground will give you the opportunity to experiment with the
superbutton's properties. This is the third one after Formtext.VBX which
you can find in the forum in file FORMTE.ZIP and CBoxList.VBX
(CBLIST.Zip). The version I uploaded is a full powered test version. It
has all the capabilities of the full licensed version except that it
nags you with a dialog box whenever you change modes and that it will
NOT WORK IN A RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT of VB. You can check it and see if
you can use it.

SizeIt by Sonam G. Gyato. 3-91
Ever use a program where on starting up, it gobbles up the whole screen
space? Or it's not positioned where you want it? You spend the first few
seconds moving, sizing and tweaking the window - and you do the same
old thing every time. The developers of the program do not even have the
courtesy to make their program remember the position! Well wait no
more...this program will put a stop to that, or should I say, will start
to do that. It will size it and size it right! First start the
application you want monitored. Position and size it to your preference.
Then use the SizeIt CAPTURE command (from either the icon or window
mode.) The cursor will turn to a thin cross-hair. Move the cursor over
the main application window to be monitored. The title bar of the target
window will be highlighted when the cross-hair is over a valid window.
Click the left mouse button . That's all. To test it, close your target
application and open it up. Viola, if you chose the window correctly, it
should work. Places and sizes windows on desktop. Nice!

of only one week, and does not have the concept of sunrise and sunset.
The software which comes with the controller is somewhat clumsy to use
if you wish to define more than a few events. Smart10 was devised to
overcome the limitations of the CP290 and its supplied software. It can
maintain a year's calendar of events. You can use Sunrise and Sunset as
times. (You don't have use them as exact time, you can add or subtract
time from them.) Events can be conditioned to occur (or not to occur)
if it is Dark (or Light), between dates you have specified, or added on
command line parameters to the Smart10 program.

SOUNDL.ZIP
This is my sound DLL for use with Visual BASIC for Windows 3 (or any
other Windows programming language for that matter). Since VB doesn't
have any facilities for sound, I decide to write my own driver. With the
help of a fellow Sunday-afternoon hacker, Kirk Lewellen, we finally made
our way through the Windows API reference and some example C code I
found on a bulletin board that called the Windows API sound functions.
These API calls are documented in the Windows Programmer's Reference
available from Microsoft Press, but there are no code examples to go by.
I posted the Turbo Pascal for Windows code on CompuServe in an effort to
get more information and received some interesting messages that can be
found in a file floating around called VBTIPS.ZIP. Basically, it said
you're own your own! I'm posting this little demo and the source code
into the public domain for any who would like to use it or are just
curious about how to call these sound functions.

SOUNDX.ZIP
[Free]
By Mike Mezaros [x]CheckBox Software
Sound Dialog Examples is a simple example program for Windows 3.1.
Windows 3.1 allows users to assign certain .WAV format sounds to
different system events. The events include Windows Start, Windows Exit,
Default Beep, Asterisk, Critical Stop, Exclamation, and Question. The
last four events are types of dialog boxes that Windows applications may
present. They contain an icon used for visual effect. Asterisk dialog
boxes show either an asterisk or a lower-case i (the asterisk is
considered more language-independent) and generally provide important
information. Critical Stop dialog boxes show a stop sign and generally
provide information about a serious error or problem. Exclamation dialog
boxes show an exclamation point and generally provide some sort of
warning. Question dialog boxes show a question mark and generally
require that you make a choice between two different options. You may
have already encountered a number of these dialog boxes under Windows
3.1, and you may have been surprised not to hear the sound that you had
assigned to it. You may have heard the default beep, or perhaps you
heard nothing at all.

interrupts are not disabled, so you don't have to worry about losing
COMM port data or network connections. Even though it sounds OK with
the interrupts enabled, if you do anything that causes a lot of
interrupts (such as moving the mouse) the sound quality will suffer.

SSAVE.DLL
Screen Saver Support DLL for VB by Jonathan Zuck [76702,1605]
I was looking at the After Dark Screen Saver API and getting really
disgusted! It looked as though it would be quite some time before I
built a screen saver using their API. Then I thought, "geez! What about
all the people that are more artistically inclined?!" So, in the
tradition of HOTKEY, I present SSAVE.DLL. SSAVE works on exactly the
same principle as HOTKEY. You register your window to be notified
whenever the user does something and you specify a custom keycode to
represent that general "event." You will then be sent a keydown message,
with your custom keycode, whenever the user does something, either with
the mouse or the keyboard. From within your app, you keep a timer, or
whatever and when you haven't received those special KeyDowns for a
while, you have a party. Then, during the party, when you get the
special KeyDown, you restore everything. Simple. Much less work than
trying to deal with one of these C APIs. The sample I made reflects my
lack of artistic acumen and looks like a product of the 60's. Don't
stare at it too long! <g> It is *only* meant to demonstrate the DLL! No
comments please! My hope is that some of the more artistic people, like
John Murdoch, will create nicer ones. Copyright 1991 User Friendly, Inc.

enables random colors for the bands. The band height controls how high
each band will be (duh). Larger values will cover the screen faster. 32
is my favorite in 800x600 mode. The timeout specifies how many
MILLIseconds to wait between closing windows. Set it to zero if you want
the fastest screen blanking.

time you stopped it. Stopwatch then tells you the difference between
start time and stop time. Stopwatch starts time with either a click of
the start button or a click of the start time label and stops time with
a click of the stop button or the finish time label. The keys are
enabled and disabled appropriately to avoid clicking one of them by
mistake. Also, if you click exit, the program checks to see if you are
currently keeping track of time. Requires VBRUN100.DLL.

SUPERRM.ZIP
SoftBlox Resource Monitor for Windows 3.0
The SuperRM Utility provides real-time, graphical feedback on usage of
primary resources for the main Windows subsystems, GDI and USER, and the
currently Active Task. In addition the utility provides the amount of
memory available and can be instructed to do periodic compaction of
global memory. The Monitor Window can also be instructed to constantly
stay on top of all other windows for easy, real-time monitoring.
The Sampling Rate, Compaction Rate, meter control colors and other
options can be modified and will be saved across invocations. The
front-end to the SuperRM utility uses our own 3D custom controls. To
conserve desktop real estate, the dialogs for this utility do not have
any borders. However, these dialogs can still be moved around quite
easily by 'picking' the dialog itself with the mouse (instead of the
standard caption bar). Each of the meter controls can be individually
customized.

SWITCHER.ZIP
by Robert Salesas [76625,1320]
Switcher is a faster way of changing video modes. This is very practical
for people who routinely switch between 16 and 256 color modes. Setup is
a slow and cumbersome process, so I created Switcher, which is faster
(especially when setup has to copy fonts) and simpler. Now, when you
want to switch modes, run Switcher, select one of the modes in the list
box, and choose either "Restart Windows" or "Exit To DOS". Switcher will
change the video mode, fonts, drivers, etc..., and either restart
Windows or quit Windows altogether. To remove a video mode you no longer
use, select it, then choose "Remove selected mode" from the system menu.
That's all there is to it!

This is a (slightly) modified version of the 'MULTIPAD' demo program
included with the Windows 3.0 Software Developer's kit. This is a rather
handy little editor, and it can be clearly seen that it was this program
which was used to develop the 'SYSEDIT.EXE' program that the Windows
INSTALL program placed in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory when you
installed Windows 3.0. This program was written primarily to correct a
bug in the 'SYSEDIT' program, which will be discussed below.

SYSRES.ZIP
System Resource Display Version 1.0B by D. Beach [70641,654]
SysRes is used to provide continuous display of available system
resources. It was prototyped in Visual Basic (version 0.1 9/4/91) and is
now implemented in C. It uses exported functions from TOOLHELP.DLL
(provided with DrWatson) which is available from Microsoft Forums on
CompuServe. (10-12-91) SysRes will create a SYSRES.INI file in whatever
directory it is run from. It performs as a read-only application
thereafter unless settings are changed. Many Windows applications have
trouble running under low resource conditions. SysRes was written to
assist users in avoiding situations which might result in UAE's from
otherwise stable applications. Comments are welcome, enjoy.
SYSRES23.ZIP
System Resources for Windows v2.3
SysRes.exe is a Windows(TM) 3.0/3.1 application that measures Memory
usage and CPU usage in a graphical and text format. The graph is

This program is a hybrid. It is both a DOS program and a Windows
program all in one. Thus, one runs the same program from the DOS line
and from Windows.

Tired of having two or three or even four icons at the bottom of

so, then SysUse is for you. SysUse is a single performance monitor
program that displays the current utilization levels of all four
of your computer's main resources: CPU, memory, system (Windows)
resources, and disk space. The levels are displayed textually
when the SysUse window is open, and as gauges (in the above order)
when the window is minimized. SysUse is very efficient (especially
when minimized) and takes very little time away from your other
applications.
SYSWIT12.ZIP
SySwitch by Paul Bonner Senior Editor PC/Computing [76000,13]
Designed to make it easy to switch between up to five alternative
SYSTEM.INI file configurations. You might, for instance, have
alternative SYSTEM.X files for use with different screen drivers or
different Windows shells. SYSWITCH.EXE, VBPOINT.DLL and SYS2.TXT should
all be placed in your WINDOWS directory.
Many of the routines used here were borrowed from other applications
available on the MSBASIC forum. Specifically, I found the CopyFile
routine in the VBTIPS.TXT file, the 3D Frame routine is a variation of
that used in the VB-TIPS Reader, and the RestartProc routine is detailed
in the MOREAPI.ZIP file. Version 2.0 of SySwitch also makes use of
Jonathan Zuck's VBPOINT.DLL. My thanks to the authors of each routine.

TASKER10.ZIP
[$25.00]
Tasker 1.00
This program can be used as a replacement for the Windows Task Manager
which can be invoked by selecting "Switch To" from any application's
control menu, by double-clicking on the background desktop, or by
pressing Control-Escape. This program can also be run directly such as
installed on the Program Manager menu or from the File Manager.
This program has many features that Microsoft didn't include with their
version of the Task Manager;
1. Tasker has all the functions that the Windows Task Manager has in
addition, it allows you to show and close hidden applications currently
running (hidden applications are simply; applications that don't show an
icon nor window on the desktop, however they can still be running in the
background)
2. Tasker gives you six user configurable buttons to launch your most
often used programs or invoke special Tasker functions such as the
"Browser" and three others that give the same functionality of Windows
Task Manager (cascade desktop windows, tile desktop windows, and arrange
desktop icons)
3. Browser lets you navigate anywhere on your hard and floppy disks and
gives you a drag-and-drop interface to run, search, copy, move, rename,
and delete files and programs (trash can included!)
TASKT11A.ZIP
[$20.00]
TaskTracker for Windows is a time tracking program for professionals who
bill by the hour. TaskTracker is a virtual 'stopwatch array,'
remembering time elapsed for each task in a project you define. You may
be a contract programmer working on a project with many pre-defined
tasks, or a lawyer or accountant with clients who are being billed
hourly. TaskTracker runs in the multitasking environment of Windows 3.0
or 3.1, measuring the time you spend on each task or client. TaskTracker
also gives you the ability to send your task information to other
Windows programs for formatting and printing. Export your data to
Microsoft Word for Windows and TaskTracker automatically formats it into
a table. Export to Microsoft Excel and manipulate the numbers with all
the power of Microsoft's premier spreadsheet package. Export to
Microsoft Write and your report will be formatted with hanging
paragraphs to make it more readable. You can also export tab-delimited
text data to Notepad or any other Windows program such as WordPerfect,
Lotus 1-2-3 or Ami Pro when you specify the program filename with the
Output Program option. TaskTracker saves your tasks in project files
which can be merged with other project files. Do you need to generate
periodic reports? TaskTracker project files can be 'spawned;' you can
save, generate and print your report, then spawn the current project to
a new file with all times set to zero. Task names and descriptions are
retained for the new reporting period. This is an invaluable feature
for professionals who bill their clients on a weekly or monthly basis.

frame code, at the user's choice. After identifying a "sync point" for
the film footage, i.e., a timecode number at which the footage will
equal 0+0 (feet+frames), the proper footage for any time code can be
calculated. In addition, the footage can be entered and the equivalent
time code calculated. All film calculations (for 35mm) are based on 24
frames per second, 16 frames per foot. 8-91

TEMPLT.ZIP
Creating a document in Word for Windows can be simplified by
using document templates. Instead of defining margins, styles or
header or footer text with each new document, these items can be
stored in document templates. Included with Word for Windows, is a
set of predefined document templates that can be used as is or
altered to better suit your needs. These "templates" can store
standard aspects of your documents such as a letterhead or other
formatting. Using templates will shorten the time it takes to
produce great looking documents. WHAT IS A TEMPLATE? A template is
a specialized file that functions as a skeleton for documents. In
the template file you can store the basic structure for your
document files. This might be in the form of glossaries, macros,
styles, header or footer text, a letterhead (graphic images), or
menu and key assignments. A template file has a .DOT extension to
indicate a "Document Template", versus a .DOC extension which is
commonly used for document files. Template files that are listed in
the File New dialog, are normally stored in the Word for Windows
program directory. There is a however a WIN.INI setting that allows
you to move the template files (.DOT files) to another directory.

This is multithreads, the library MTHREADW.LIB is a DOS/WINDOWS
multithread controller and a Medium model library for C 600/600a.
It provides the ability to create execution threads. Each task
thread has its own stack and "context." A single routine may be
started as a thread many times. (As long as you make sure it
is reentrant!) The only draw back is that YieldContext must be
called within threads. Since DOS is not preemptive and neither is
Windows, the Threads library is not either. The example code
Winapp.c and dosapp.c as well as the include file THREADS.H should
provide you with enough info to get started.

TMEM.ZIP
TDOSMEM: Passes Data between a Microsoft(R) Windows(TM)
Application and an MS-DOS(R) TSR
TDOSMEM communicates with the TTSR program to demonstrate a technique
for passing data between a Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) application and an
MS-DOS(R) terminate-and-stay- resident (TSR) program. TDOSMEM calls the
kernel functions AllocSelector, SetSelectorBase, and SetSelectorLimit
and uses these functions to update a buffer in a global TSR program.
Running multiple copies of TDOSMEM demonstrates how different instances
of a Windows program can access a TSR program's private buffer directly.
Before you start Windows, run TTSR.EXE from the MS-DOS prompt to install
the TSR program that TDOSMEM will call. After you start Windows, run the
TDOSMEM program. The TDOSMEM main window displays the buffer address and
buffer contents of the TSR program. Clicking on the Request menu causes
TDOSMEM to increment a WORD value in the TSR program's private buffer
and updates the results in the TDOSMEM main window.

and it is not hard to do. Your finished toolbar can look as good, and be

TOOLBT.ZIP
ToolButton 1.0 by Brett Foster [70444,135]
ToolButton is a custom control for Visual Basic that uses BTTNCUR.DLL to
support command and attribute buttons in toolbars. You can use the
standard button images supplied, and/or you can "roll your own".
BTTNCUR.DLL is a licensed redistributable dynamic-link library that
provides applications with new standard toolbar button images as defined
in "The Windows Interface: An Application Design Guide" and "The
Windows Interface: A Visual Design Guide." It is supplied by Microsoft
with these books, and is also available for download on the WINSDK forum
(look for IMAGES.ZIP). Standard button images are supplied for Edit Cut,
Edit Copy, Edit Paste, File New, File Open, File Save, File Print, Help,
and Context Sensitive Help. ToolButton can generate six different button
faces from one supplied bitmap. A command button uses three (Up, Mouse
Down, and Disabled), while an attribute button uses six (former plus
Down, Down Disabled, and Indeterminate). All you have to do is supply
the "Up" bitmap, and ToolButton takes care of the rest. Another nifty
feature of ToolButton is the fact that it generates MouseDown and
MouseUp events, so you can put a help message in a status bar when the
user presses a button. ToolButton was uploaded by the author.

TRASH.ZIP
The TRASH.EXE application is a Windows 3.1 application that is a
DDEML server. Trash supports the Drag/Drop functionality as provided
by the new Windows 3.1 Shell APIs, which allows items to be dragged
from the File Manager and dropped onto the Trash icon (or into the
Trash window). Trash adds the names of the dropped files to a
multiple selection list box, which is used to display the names of
items in the Trash. This implementation of the Trash doesn't move
any items from the location where they reside on the drive, it
simply maintains a list of the items that a user requests to be
deleted. Items can be removed from the Trash by selecting one or
more items in the list box and then choosing the 'Return Items to
Disk...' menu item (in case you change your mind about wanting them
in the Trash). The TRASHEXT.DLL File Manager extension adds a
'Trash' item to the File Manager menu to provide a means of
allowing a user to Empty the Trash from the File Manager. DDE is
used (via the new DDEML provided with Windows 3.1) to communicate
between the TrashExt File Manager extension and the Trash
application.

Functions: OpenComm, SetCommState, WriteComm, ReadComm,
SetCommEventMask, GetCommEventMask, CloseComm, and the new Windows
version 3.1 function EnableCommNotification. TTY uses the
WM_COMMNOTIFY message by either enabling the EV_RXFLAG event flag
and the CN_EVENT notification, or by using CN_RECEIVE to receive
trigger thresholds for detecting the characters received. The
Windows version 3.1 COMM.DRV posts the WM_COMMNOTIFY message to the
associated windows when the necessary events occur. TTY performs
simple character translation and implements a screen buffer for use
as the I/O window.

UART Monitor by Dale S. Hoover [73300,3712]
A Windows "electronic breakout box". This program is designed to monitor
the UARTS associated with serial ports ( COM1-COM4 ). It is intended to
be use simultaneous with an application using the UART. It should not
interfere in the monitoring mode although the menus allow the end user
to change the baud rate, data_bits, stop_bits, and parity. Certain
combinations of data_bits, stop_bits, and parity are not valid and are
inhibited in the menus. Because the intended use is to monitor the
serial port the serial ports are not opened and the interrupts of are
not modified, tested, or chained. If no application is using the UART
then the monitor will not reflect valid information ( i.e. the UART
needs to be initialized by an application other than the monitor. )

UltraClip 1.2 by Doug Overmyer [71021,2535]
August 25, 1992
UltraClip extends the capabilities of the Windows clipboard by storing
multiple objects placed on the clipboard. It stores all formats
associated with a given object, displays each in a separate window, and
provides quick retrieval via cut and paste. UltraClip requires Windows
3.1. UltraClip stores all its objects in memory - you'll need sufficient
memory to support whatever you wish to store. Large color bitmaps
consume several megabytes, so beware. UltraClip stores everything put on
the clipboard as long as there is at least one displayable format: text,
bitmap, DIB or picture. UltraClip ignores owner-display formats. If you
store several color-rich bitmaps with palettes, the contention for the
system palette may produce a rather strange display of colors in the
non-active windows. Not compatible with the original release of Norton
Desktop for Windows 1.0.

Microsoft Announces Family of User Interface Products Supporting The
Windows Interface, Enabling Developers to Design Comprehensive
Applications for Powerful Windows Computing. ----------------->
REDMOND, Wash. -- June 30, 1992 -- Microsoft today announced a family
of products that will help Windows developers create user interfaces
that are consistent with Microsoft's Windows interface definition.
The new products include:
* A 220-page application design guide from Microsoft
Press that provides instructions for designing user
interfaces
* A set of companion disks that offers an example
application, artistic guidelines for designing graphical
elements of the user interface, and a library of icons
and cursors that can be incorporated directly into
applications.
* A Microsoft University course on user interface design
* A terminology reference that provides user interface terms in
13 languages
"We've gotten a great many requests from developers for
help in designing user interfaces for Windows applications," said
Jonathan Lazarus, vice president of systems strategy at Microsoft.
"This family of products responds to those requests, providing a
complete set of tools for designing user interfaces that fully
exploit what we've termed, 'The Windows Interface.'"

UNDOCFCT.ZIP
by Duncan J. Murdoch [71631,122]
Prints undocumented Windows 3 calls in a program file. Many of the
services that Windows 3.0 provides are undocumented, because
Microsoft wants to limit their use. This may be so that they are
free to change them in future releases; once an interface comes
into widespread use it's very unpopular to change it. It may also
help to protect the integrity of Windows if certain services are
never used except under very controlled conditions. This program is
designed to examine executables, in order to see if and how they're
"breaking the rules" by using undocumented services. I can see two
reasons to do this: to see how someone has achieved the seemingly
impossible, and to identify programs that are likely to break when
the next release of Windows comes along. Note: UNDOCFCT will run
both as a DOS application from the command line, and as a Windows
application in Windows/3. As a DOS application, output may be
redirected to a file. What is "undocumented"? The definition
UNDOCFCT uses is very simple. If a function is listed in the version
of WINDOWS.H that was distributed with Turbo Pascal for Windows, then
the function is documented. Otherwise, it's undocumented. This
definition is a little too restrictive; some things are documented
elsewhere, so you're likely to see a few "undocumented" references in
just about every executable.

Usher 1.4c by George Browning
Usher was written to replace memory- and resource-hogging shells such as
the Program Manager and hDC Window's Express. Usher is a pop-up menu of
applications that appears when the user clicks with a mouse button on
the desktop. This menu can have hierarchical sub-menus for grouping
applications together. For example, the main menu heading might be
Utilities with a sub-menu for system utilities called System. Important:
Usher can be run as the shell or an application under an existing shell.
Usher takes up only 9K of memory, so users with less than 2 Meg of
memory might want to replace their existing shell with Usher. If you
would like to continue running your existing shell as your main shell,
just add usher.exe to the load or run command line in the win.ini file.
Otherwise, change the shell entry in the system.ini file to
shell=c:\win30\usher.exe (or whatever). Usher automatically figures out
if it is the shell. (8-91)

Dragon's Eye Utilities Version 2.0 11/28/91
Made up of these fine programs: RUN.EXE allows you to run one or
more apps from the DOS command line or from within Windows. Also
lets you give each app it's own command line. CLOSER.EXE allows you
to close applications as long as that application registers a
window. CLEAN.EXE clears the clipboard and globalcompacts memory in
order to squeeze any available memory out of Windows. The current
version of Clean will not reclaim lost system resources under
Windows 3.0. EXITW.EXE allows you to close down Windows without the
Program Manager or File Manager arguing about it. It will also allow
you to pass back a DOS errorlevel code or to set a DOS environment
variable. STAYOPEN keeps third party programs from shutting down
Windows until you close StayOpen.

A set of utilities for the Windows environment. These utilities
perform functions similar to those found in the UNIX operating
system. Most of the U/Win utilities use the concept of standard
input and standard output, and can be connected with pipes. Thus,
commands can be chained together to perform more complicated tasks.
U/Win can be run in batch or interactive modes. In batch mode,
U/Win is executed with command line parameters. In interactive
mode, you enter commands through the U/Win dialog windows.

An icon editor that every Windows 3.0 devotee can use either to
create icons from scratch or to read in icon files for editing.
The average icon is 32-by-32 pixels and contains 16 colors, so this
is the format for which IKE is designed. In use, IKE displays two
separate viewing areas: an actual-size display of the image being

Includes: CFGSAVE by Gene Kavner October 29, 1991 (Utilities)
A stand-alone Windows 3.0 application that attaches itself to the
Program Manager by adding a Save Configuration item to the Program
Manager's File menu. When you select Save Configuration, the cursor
changes to an hourglass for a couple of seconds while your
configuration is saved. You remain in Windows during the entire
operation, and none of your active Windows or DOS applications
running at the time are affected. This one-step operation is so
simple and intuitive that you will begin to feel that CFGSAV is a
natural part of Windows.
V10N20.ZIP
Includes: UMBFILS by Jeff Prosise November 26, 1991 (Utilities)
UMBFILES is one of our first programs to make use of upper memory
blocks. In doing so, it can free up as much as 15K of RAM.
Syntax: UMBFILES[=]nn
This is where nn is the number of files you want to allocate space
for in upper memory. Valid values range from 1 to 247. An
additional restriction is that the sum of UMBFILES and files
already allocated may not exceed 255, because DOS doesn't support
more than 255 files open in the system at any one time. For
example, if you boot with the statement FILES=20 in CONFIG.SYS and
then run UMBFILES, the maximum value UMBFILES will accept for nn is
235. If you allocate space for 20 more files with the statement
UMBFILES=20 and then run UMBFILES again, the most it will accept is
215.

the time you spend on a project. If you bill clients by the hour it
can multiply the logged time by your hourly rate using the
information you enter in a client data file and prepares a printable
billing report. A 7K memory-resident utility, TRACKR lets you create
or switch tasks at any time, stop the clock temporarily, switch
applications with the clock running, combine multiple separately
timed tasks for the same client into a single billing report, and
update your task log at a keystroke. Increments for partial-hour
calculations can be as small as 1 minute. If at any time you are in a
TRACKR menu and wish to return to your application, simply press Esc
key. If you're two or more menus deep, you will have to hit the Esc
key twice.

Includes: BADAPP - Application Error Testbed for Windows 3.1
Copyright (C) 1992 Ray Duncan Ziff Davis Publishing * PC Magazine,
and CLIPSTAC by Richard Hale Shaw August 1992 (Utilities}
The Windows Clipboard over writes its entire contents the moment you
copy a fresh piece of text or cut a second image to it. The Clipboard can
hold one and only one item at a time; it is absolutely unforgiving.
And, as you may have found, it takes just one accidentally lost cut to
make you wish the Clipboard could accommodate multiple items.
CLIPSTAC eliminates this dangerous limitation. CLIPSTAC creates a
stack, or history list, of all the texts and bitmaps that any
program cuts or copies to or from the Clipboard. It saves all these
items in a file, CLIPSTAC.DAT, from which you can copy items back
to the Clipboard by selecting the desired entry from a list box.

"float" an application or an icon, above your currently active full-screen
program. Just click on the TOTOP icon and select Top or Bottom and you
can float or sink any window with a click of the mouse without deactivating
the program window in which you're working. Since TOTOP uses features that
are new in Windows 3.1, it can't be used with older Windows versions.
It also requires a mouse.

presentations on large- screen projectors. And on desktop machines, it
can help to view the cursor on a cluttered screen.
V12N01.ZIP
Includes: WINTIDY Version 1.0 by Neil J. Rubenking
WINTIDY is a Windows 3.1 specific utility that lets you keep your
Program Manager organized. WINTIDY can arrange the icons in every
group window. In addition, it can save the ProgMan layout,
including iconic location, normal window size, and display state
(minimized, maximized, or normal) for each group window, along with
the location of the items within each group window. If you
experiment with a new layout, at the click of a button, WINTIDY
will restore the ProgMan layout you last saved. WINTIDY requires
Windows 3.1, because some of the necessary programming functions
were not introduced prior to that version. (Windows programmers
will be amazed at the contortions this apparently simple program
must go through behind the scenes.) And, of course, if you use a
program other than Program Manager as your Windows shell, WINTIDY
can't help you.

Visual Basic provides no way to determine or define the IDs of Controls
in VB forms. VBFindID is a small WinApp I wrote in Turbo Pascal for
Windows (for compactness). It can be used to determine the IDs of VB
Controls (including Labels) during development of your VB Apps. Knowing
the IDs before hand saves you from having to determine control IDs
during run-time and allows you the flexibility to use several API calls
during the Form_Load procedure without having to show the form and go
through a series of SetFocus statements. Also, it's the only way I know
of to get the IDs of VB labels.

VBGETDEC.ZIP
When you have unused DLL declarations in a program, the
.EXE file created by Visual Basic is larger than it needs to be.
This happens because VB doesn't check to see if you've actually
used each declared procedure in your program. The GetDec Utility is
used to create a file containing DLL procedure declarations,
Type..End Type definitions, and Global Const declarations. Once
you've created the file, you can remove all the declarations in
your program and paste this new file into your global module. The
source code for GetDec is included with MicroHelp Muscle. Muscle
contains more than 400 other routines (most of which are written in
assembly language) that make your Visual Basic programs faster and
smaller or provide more functionality. MicroHelp also publishes
VBTools (the most popular Visual Basic add-on library) as well as
the MicroHelp Communications Library for Visual Basic. We also
offer a large selection of add-on products for Microsoft QuickBASIC
and BASIC Professional Development System (PDS).

Macro Recorder macros for Visual Basic
by George Campbell [71571,222]
This is a set of macros for the Windows Macro Recorder. It contains
a set of useful macros from Ctrl-Shift-A to Ctrl-Shift-W, and does
a bunch of stuff to shortcut your typing when coding in VB. To use
this stuff, start the Recorder app and load VB.REC before running
Visual Basic. I made an icon out of the VB.REC file and put it right
next to my VB icon, so I could get right at it. To see the
functions of each macro, restore the Recorder to the screen and
check out the descriptions for each macro. To use the macros,
minimize the Recorder, then make sure VB is in it's code editing
mode. Press the key combination for your macro choice, and the code
will appear at the cursor position. Naturally, you can record your
own macros to replace or add to the ones already here. If you need
help with this, see your Windows manual, but its easy.

The enclosed VB project comprises a simple VT100-like terminal emulator.
I should warn you that it is neither complete (in that it doesn't
support all VT100 escape sequences, handle function or cursor keys,
etc.), well designed, or fully debugged. The VT100 emulation seems
sufficient to use with CompuServe, which was a prime requirement of
mine. On the other hand, more demanding systems (such as UNIX's VI
editor) will not work.

by George M. White [71511,1072]
This .ZIP file contains two utilities for use with Microsoft's
Visual Basic. These utilities are called VBCOPY.EXE and VBDEL.EXE.
They are used to copy or delete Visual Basic projects.
Visual Basic stores information about the project in the .MAK file.
VBCOPY and VBDEL read the .MAK file and determine which forms and/or
other files belong to the project. VBCOPY will copy the .MAK file and
the other files for the project to another directory. VBDEL will DELETE
the .MAK file and ALL the other files for the project. These utilities
will tell you if it doesn't think the .MAK file is a Visual Basic .MAK
file. The error messages out of these utilities are simple. Most of the
time any error message indicates that the .MAK file or path is incorrect
or that the destination path is incorrect. VBDEL will prompt you before
it deletes any project. I have used these utilities many times without
any problems. I determined the format of the .MAK file on my own so I
cannot guarantee that it will always find the correct forms even though
is has so far. Please report any bugs found with this utilities to me so
I can fix them and upload a new copy. Thank You.

VCATWIN by W. A. Jackson
VCATWIN is a Windows version of VIDEOCAT, a specialized database
program designed for cataloging a collection of movies or similar
materials stored on videocassettes. Using the program's Edit
functions you can build and modify a data file of records
containing this information for items in your video collection.
This program was designed for collections of theatrical motion
pictures; however custom configuration options permit adaptation to
other specialized types of collections. Using the program's View
functions you can display the data file in a variety of formats and
sequences. You can also use the Search option to display only those
records having particular characteristics (e.g. westerns with John
Wayne). Using the program's File functions you can print a hard copy
listing. Using the program's Label functions you can print labels
on a variety of commercially available label stocks. This program
has been designed with large collections in mind. Theoretically
the program could handle data files with up to 65,535 records. For
all practical purposes the number of records is limited only by
available disk space, with each record taking up 384 bytes.

Video for Windows 1.0 - Electronic Runtime by Microsoft Corp.
As any presenter knows, the best way to explain something clearly
and memorably is to show it in action. And today, that means
video. With Microsoft Video for Windows, you can do more than
present the facts. You can tell the whole story:
*Spice up electronic presentations with videos of actual product
demonstrations.
*Build credibility with customer testimonials that your audience can
see and hear.
Because Video for Windows treats video as simply another data type,
you don't have to redo presentations to take advantage of video.
You can create video clips specific to your presentations; or, you
can use and edit predigitized sequences from the Video Clip Library
included with Microsoft Video for Windows. The Video Clip Library
contains more than 200 predigitized video sequences that you can
use much as you'd use standard clip art.

Modified Setup1 by L.J. Johnson, [70700,1334] 04/12/92
The Setup program that comes with the Microsoft Professional Toolkit for
Visual Basic is a nice program, but lacks some features which I needed
for corporate installations. I have modified this program to do the
things I needed, and hopefully someone else will also find these
modifications useful. The concept is that, once you get the colors,
heading sizes/fonts, etc, to your liking, you should not have to modify
the source code in order to install another program (unless you want to
do something 'special'). In other words, the modifications make Setup1
data-driven.

Visual Modem 3.5 by Mark J. Findlay
Visual Modem is a simple way to examine and alter the settings of
your USR HST Dual Standard 9600 Modem. While full functionality is
geared towards use with the USRHST, any modem can take advantage of
the custom modem command creation facility to create, save and send
modem commands especially tailored to a particular modem. Instead
of having to wade through the complex maze of cryptic modem
commands (i.e. ATB1&S0=0E1F0&F) etc., Visual Modem offers the user
a collection of screens which display all of the settings options
in text format, allowing the user to comfortably scroll through the
listing of available modem commands and change or reset any of the
modem's configuration settings. Visual Modem also acts as a tutor,
displaying the actual modem commands for each setting sent to the
modem and each response received. (Just in case you find yourself
without Visual Modem someday...). Once the desired modem settings
have been set, the user can send the entire set of new
configuration settings to the modem with the selection of a single
Visual Modem menu item. For those occasions when you prefer to send
individual modem commands to the modem,

WinANSI
Windows ANSI Editor by Tim Jones AmSoft Development
WinANSI came about while I was evaluating Russell Frey's PowerBBS for
Windows. As a part of PowerBBS setup, you are allowed to edit the text
files displayed by the BBS system to callers at various times. Mr. Frey
defaulted the called edit or to 'TheDRAW', which is an excellent ANSI
editor if you don't mind leaving the Windows environment. Well, I
didn't have 'TheDRAW' at the time, so I changed his default to Windows'
NOTEPAD, only to be disappointed when it wouldn't let me enter a literal
ESC character. After looking around for a week on various BBS's, I
decided that I would have to do it myself if I were going to satisfy my
need for a true Windows-based ANSI editor. WinANSI is the result of my
work.

WAVER 1.0 by Mike Mezaros
WAVER is a simple sound player for Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher.
Former users of Aaron Wallace's Sounder and Dsound.Dll are used to
being able to launch .SND documents and have them play. Under
Windows 3.1, this isn't the case - launching a .WAV file calls up
the Sound Recorder, with the .WAV file loaded in memory. WAVER is
similar to the Sounder half of Sounder and Dsound.Dll. Once
installed, launching a .WAV document will simply play the sound.
This allows greater flexibility for organizing and playing sounds.
For example, you can now install all of your sounds in a Program
Manager group. Double-clicking their icons will now simply play
them, as with Sounder.

you, waiting to be tested.

Window Control 1.1
Most of the mini-apps that come with MS Windows as well as most
major applications do not remember where you want them to be on your
Windows Desktop. When they run, they ask Windows to decide where
they should be started. This usually requires the user to take the
time to position and size the application manually before any work
can be done. This is annoying to say the least as well as very
non-productive. A user should be able to determine the size and
location of a window once and expect it to always return there.
This utility was designed to do that as transparently as
possible. When running in its normal position, applications that do
not control their starting point or their size will default to
starting in the upper left hand corner and ex tending to the left
edge of the Window Control window. Applications that control their
size but not their starting location default to starting in the upper
left corner. When running as an icon, applications start wherever
Windows wants them to just as though Window Control was not
running. In either case, Window Control can control them once they
are added to the list. Application that are not parent windows
cannot be controlled. Applications that control themselves can also
be controlled but that is redundant. Window Control can store 100
separate applications. Once an application is under control it can
easily be repositioned and recontrolled.

click of the mouse or press of a key. In addition, it makes all of
the Windows Desktop Accessories or user-defined accessories
available on the same menu. Applications may be Windows
applications or DOS programs. Version 3.1 is fully compatible with
Windows 3.0 and 3.1 (and will not run under previous versions of
Windows). WEM 3.1 runs only in Standard and Enhanced mode; WEM LT
also runs in Real mode. Windows Easy Menu has complete keyboard
support, so it is an excellent Windows applications manager for
laptops and other systems without a mouse. This version of WEM
includes support for startup directories for each menu item, and
each item can be started as either a window, icon, or full screen.
New in this version is password protection of various tasks and
support for up to 300 menu items. Also, the Command Bar has been
modified to display the date and time, free disk space, and free

WGIF 1.0b by Bells and Whistles Software [73527,2544]
WGIF is a freeware program to display pictures that conform to the
GIF87a standard under Microsoft Windows 3.0. I created it because I
couldn't believe that every existing GIF display program I could
find for Windows 3.0 had a shareware price tag and also because I
needed a vehicle to begin learning about the display of bitmaps
under Windows, scroll bars, menus, etc. WGIF is currently the
fastest GIF display program I've seen for Microsoft Windows 3.0. It
loads pictures in 50% of the time that WinGIF 0.80 needs and it can
perform an ordered dithering while decoding with hardly any
slowdown. This speed would not have been possible if not for the
excellent LZW decoding routines of Steven A. Bennett, many thanks
to him. You can use File Manager's ability to associate programs
with file extensions so that you can double click on a GIF file
listed in a File Manager window and WGIF will open and begin
displaying the picture. 3-91

[$25.00]
WGLIB version 1.01 Released: July, 1992 by InfoSoft
WGLib 1.01 is a completely new product designed to enhance the
functionality and esthetics of Microsoft Visual Basic. The WGLib routines are
based on the functionality that GLib 2.01/x brings to BASIC PDS. WGLib
is designed to work EXCLUSIVELY with Microsoft's VISUAL BASIC 1.00 and
Windows 3.0 / 3.1. Future Microsoft versions of these products may or
may not introduce compatibility issues not addressed in WGLIB 1.01.
Unless otherwise noted, all routines used in WGLib are written in
assembler with MASM 5.0 or 6.0, with custom controls written in Microsoft
C v. 6.00. Except as noted in specific situations we make use of fully
documented DOS, WIN API and VB API calls in order to maintain system
integrity under Windows. WGLib is an add-on set of routines for Microsoft
Visual BASIC. These routines provide added functionality and power to VB
and replace functions lost in the conversion from QB or QBX to VB.

your current 2 button driver. Only use this driver if you have a
Microsoft compatible 2 button mouse. Once this driver is installed and
Whiskers is activated, you will be able to simulate a Middle button on
your two (2) button mouse. Whiskers works with the new driver
(Whisker.drv) to allow the Middle button simulation. If Whiskers is not
active, the driver (Whiskers.drv) will operate the same way that the old
two (2) button driver did. If you have a two (2) button mouse, but do
not want the Middle button simulation, proceed to the Whiskers.exe

The Widget Works fourth release by David Stafford [76666,2542]
A simple graphical object library for Windows. 1-92
More improvements in the fourth release: A flicker-free
DrawBitmap(). Better granularity - the code is a little smaller.
Some minor tweaking. The philosophy behind the Widget library is to
provide a means of doing simple animation under Windows with little
fuss. This a humble library which doesn't try to do everything but
what it does it does simply and it does it well. If your animation
ambitions don't extend to putting the Hollywood special-effects
studios out of business then this is for you. Memory usage has
generally been favored over speed although I've found myself
gradually adding new things which are larger but a little slicker
(such as rewriting PaintWidget). The creeping feature creature is
upon me. Try WTEST. It's shipped as an EXE so you can try it out to
see what the library can do. The butterfly darts around the mouse
and you can drag the card around. Try clicking over an empty spot
and the card will animate itself to that location. Docs don't really
exist yet. As Obi-Wannabe said, "Use the source, Luke". Refer to
the accompanying WTEST program and the Widget sources.

- Uses Windows 3.1 Common Dialogs
WINCD.ZIP
Windows Change Directory by Antero Aalto
You probably have noticed an annoying problem with Windows:
Applications always start in the directory they exist. This is the
Program Manager's fault, because the working directory isn't a part of
the applications properties. WinCD solves this problem. Moreover, WinCD
provides an easy way to change the working directory such that all apps
start in it, until you change directory with WinCD again. You should
know, however, that achieving this requires some preparations. When you
change directory with WinCD, the working directory is saved to a file.
When WinCD starts, it reads the working directory from that file and
changes to it. As WinCD now executes another application, it will run
in the directory you wanted.

A command line interface for Windows 3. It performs most of the
functions that the standard DOS prompt, Command.com, does. With WinCLI
you are able to run Windows programs by typing their name instead of
looking for an icon. A DOS prompt in enhanced mode wastes over 640 KB
all the time. Even when if you aren't running a program. WinCLI requires
less than 40 KB when fully loaded. Less if Windows needs memory for
other things. WinCLI works equally well on all modes of Windows. You
don't need a 386 to take advantage of this DOS prompt! You can now have
a complete command line even in standard mode. It also multitasks better
than Command.com (because Win CLI is a well behaved Windows application)
so you don't lose precious cycles. Of course you also have all the
normal features of a standard DOS shell. You can show directories,
create subdirectories, rename files, delete files, and much, much more!

WINCLIP 1.2 by George Campbell [71571,222]
When working with Windows 3.0 software, it's often easiest to
standardize on .BMP files for your clip art needs. Every Windows
program can handle these images, and most paint programs, including
Windows PaintBrush, included with Windows 3.0, can produce and edit
these files. Unfortunately, it's been impossible to view these files
quickly or to print a catalog of your clip art images. Until WinClip,
that is. WinClip allows you to view your .BMP files on screen, and then
print a catalog of all your files, or just the ones you select. WinClip
is so easy to use that you may not need any documentation at all. It
uses the standard Windows 3.0 conventions, relying on buttons primarily,
rather than menu commands. As an additional feature, WinClip allows you
to edit your images, using Windows PaintBrush or any other paint program
you choose.

WINCMD the Windows Command Line Interpreter v1.01
by Robert E. Frazier [70172,177]
This is the *Ultimate* in command line processors! It is a
prerelease (shareware) program that performs similar to the
COMMAND.COM program under MS-DOS, Nearly every common DOS function
has been included (in some manner) within the Command Line
Interpreter. Most of the common functions are either performed
internally, or are 'trapped' to prevent their use under Windows(tm)
(functions such as SHARE, CHKDSK, etc.) with appropriate warning
messages. Use of such programs would normally do damage to file or
memory structures. Other functions will eventually be incorporated
(FORMAT, VOL, LABEL, EDIT, etc.), but for now the DOS 'external'
programs are run in response to these commands. Finally, special
*ENHANCEMENTS* (such as TASKLIST, KILLT ASK, background COPY, 'SET'
improvements, etc.) allow the Command Line Interpreter to take
advantage of the multi-tasking environment available under
Windows(tm), or add desirable functionality to an already useful
DOS command. 2-92
WINCMP.TXT
Text file by Kurt Schumacher describes snapshotting the Windows
initialization (.INI) files to recover from program installs and to
track changes made during a typical app installation!
I have been frustrated a number of times by Windows apps that
install files into the Windows and Windows\SYSTEM directories, and
that modify system files such as AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI
and SYSTEM.INI. Most products are not polite enough to include
documentation on what these changes are, making it difficult for me
to identify files that are lying around in my directories, and
making it almost impossible to ensure that I can completely delete
an application from my system. I have often wished that there was a
program that would take a "snapshot" of my system prior to
installing a product, them compare the system to the snapshot after
the install to show me what had happened. It eventually occurred to
me that the pieces of this "dream program" probably already
existed. A few minutes browsing a CompuServe forum, half an hour
downloading programs and trying them out, and a few more minutes
building some custom batch files, and I had my snapshot/compare
system working. Nice work here! Uses DIFF and HDIFF utilities (not
included).

WinDir 4.60 By Sean Bishop (Shortdog Inc.)
WinDir was first thought of by my friend Kenny Napier who got sick
of having to shell out to DOS or run some long program just to get
a quick directory of path to see if the file he needs is there, so
he told me to make a program that allows you to quickly enter the
drive and pathname and then a list of the files in that directory
will be shown to you. The basic premise of WinDir is that you can
pop-up a file-list from any of you directories by simply clicking a
button located on your screen. From this list of files you can
change around your directories, run .EXE, .PIF and .BAT files by
double-clicking on the filename and even copying, moving, deleting
and renaming files. You can also view your .ICO, .BMP, .RLE and
.WMF files you double-click on in the WinDir file-list. You can
copy the graphics file into the Windows clipboard for quick pasting
into another application. You can copy or move multiple files at
once. You can delete multiple files at once. You can rename your
files also. You can even play your .WAV sound files if you are
running Windows 3.1. To see some additional information about the
program just click the button labeled About and a new window will
show up, just click OK to get out of it. While you are viewing this
about box you can double-click on the Shortdog Inc. logo and you
will be able to view it just like other .WMF files and you can
resize it to see the effects.

The Windows Finder Version 1.00 by Steven Palmer [100031,504]
The Windows Finder is a prototype of a iconic file management system
for Microsoft Windows based on the Apple Macintosh Finder(tm). The
program was developed in response to a discussion of file
management systems on the MSWIN32 forum on CompuServe (see the 'NT
on Booting' thread).It was written in just 9 hours. The program is
extremely simple in that it only allows you to open folders
(directory windows) and run applications by clicking on their icons.
There is no provision for file management - this is left as an
exercise for other developers. Unlike Program Manager, it's leaner
on system resources, and the icons actually correspond to their
physical location on the hard disk; two problems that I moaned
about in the forum. However the icons won't disappear if you run
File Manager and delete the files while Windows Finder is running -
this isn't currently possible without some kind of inter-process
communication between it and File Manager. The source code was
compiled using Microsoft C V6.00A and the Microsoft Windows SDK.

WINFIG 1.0 by Stephen T. Lee
WINFIG is a tool for creating and maintaining a common set of INI
files which contains all the various combinations of configuration
settings due to multiple display resolutions, multiple shells
(Program Manager vs. Norton Desk Top for Windows), etc. Maintaining
different sets of SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI becomes a nightmare whenever
a new Window Application is installed, or when a new version of
Windows is installed. WINFIG makes this chore more tolerable. You
need the Visual Basic runtime VBRUN100.DLL to run WINFIG.

clySmic Fonts for Windows 3.0 by Ralph B Smith Jr. [76156,164]
Replacement bitmapped screen fonts for your VGA Windows 3.0 system.
They can replace the system font (used for menus and many other
elements), the fixed system font (used for Notepad and most text
editors), and the fixed OEM font (used for running windowed DOS
programs). These are not printer or resizable fonts. I love (most of)
the system font in Windows 3.0, but the fixed font is the ugly Windows
2.x font, and the OEM font is awful too. So, I came up with some
replacements. These fonts are all installed by editing SYSTEM.INI. Make
a backup copy of your old SYSTEM.INI in case something goes wrong
(Windows won't like that, especially with the system variable font, and
may not start). Just copy these files to your Windows system directory
(usually something like \WINDOWS\SYSTEM) and edit SYSTEM.INI which is in
your windows directory (usually \WINDOWS). Unlike some poorly done
fonts, the base character style has been extended to all the characters.

WINJPEG Player 0.90 by Norman and Ken Yee
WinJPEG 1.00 is an image viewer for Microsoft Windows. It will
display JPEG, TARGA, GIF, PCX, and BMP images, and it will export
an image to JPEG or GIF format. Once an image is loaded, you will
be able to modify the amount of red, green, and blue in the image,
and you will be able to magnify/reduce portions of the image. This
preliminary version of WinJPEG has very limited functionality. It
allows you to view JPEG images of any size in 256-color mode only.
Also, it monopolizes the CPU as it decompresses a JPEG image,
unlike the full version. This was released because a lot of people
have expressed an interest in having a Windows JPEG viewer and even
this limited functionality will be useful; please destroy this
preliminary version when the full version is released.

Lava Flow Simulator Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1991
This code demonstrates palette animation and pop-up menus. If you
make the application 'full screen' (by double-clicking on the title
bar) it makes the area the full size of the screen (and not just
the usual client area which excludes the title bar). This allows
creation of a full screen image. The image can be copied to the
clipboard and then pasted into paint brush and then saved as a
DIB. You can then load the image (from control panel) as a desktop
image. The image will continue to palette animate (even on the
desktop) while the program is still running. You can iconize the
application and leave the palette animation going. Include with the
windows SDK is the program MyPal. This displays the current
physical palette from windows. This is an interesting program to
run during palette animation. The 64-bit square-root code is 386

Memory Alert 1.0 is a Windows 3.0 tool that tells you about
how much memory is used in total and per task or module. You'll need
vbrun100.dll (available on CICA), as MA is written in Visual Basic.
MA tells you how much memory is allocated out of .exe and .dll local
heaps. It also tells you how large .exe stacks are and how much of
the stack an app actually uses. The "auto" CheckBox tells MA to
sample every 10 seconds. Otherwise, it only does so when you press
"sample" or pick a new task/module. I am planning future versions...

WINMODEM 2.0 by Information Technology Ltd.
One of the most popular accessories on modern PC's is the internal
modem. Internal modems offer several advantages. They take no
additional space on the desktop. They do not require additional
power cords. And because they are internal, there is one less cable
to add to the rats nest in the back of the computer. Internal
modems do have a drawback, however. THEY HAVE NO STATUS LIGHTS.
Just as with a hard disk drive, there is something reassuring about
seeing the lights flickering on and off. Without them, all is quiet
and it may be difficult to determine what is going on. WinModem
remedies this problem by providing a graphic representation of a
modem's front panel, complete with status lights. With WinModem
running, the internal modem is no longer a mystery.

While pipes are an integral part of many operating systems, Windows lacks
this facility. Windows relies almost exclusively on DDE and the

for large complicated pieces of data, pipes are simple structures and
require very little brain work to incorporate. With a pipe,
communication between processes is as simple as file I/O .

which writes many files to your hard disk?) If you have, then you're
probably inundated with hundreds of files which the installation or
setup utility wrote to your hard disk, not telling you which files
were newly made (copied) by which software. This program runs under
DOS, not under WINDOWS and will make a file indicating which files
were newly made (copying a file requires that a file be made),
opened or deleted by your Windows or DOS Setup (installation)
diskettes. It also tells you which subdirectory was made, removed
or deleted. The Change Confinement parameter can restrict the
listing to only newly made files. This can also be used to see what
files your DOS and Windows software makes and deletes without your
knowing it.

WinTide is a linear tide clock for Windows 3.0 that let's you estimate

corresponding high and low tides. A red arrow shows whether the tide is
rising or falling. You need only to enter a previous high tide date and
time for the location you're interested in monitoring. The WinTide
graphic, which also can be displayed as an icon, uses the rule of
twelves, also called the rule of one-two-three, to depict relative water
height between high and low tides. This rule states that during the
first and sixth hours between high and low tides the water rises
one-twelfth of the total height each hour; during the second and fifth
hours two-twelfths; and during the third and fourth hours
three-twelfths. WinTide assumes a 24 hour and 50 minute tidal day and
therefore uses six hours twelve minutes and 30 seconds as the average
time between high and low tides.

studies are presently viewed as a "flat cine" - all frames laid out

matrix size at this time. As with all Windows 3.x programs, take care
of your memory allocations. That is, you might have problems with
several applications opened when you are reading in images -
especially big ones. When loading an image file (Interfile in this
version), you can change the index info prior to accepting the file
for display. IF you do, it will be the parameters that WIT will use
in the creating all that is required to display. A simple example of
this is to change the "Endian" from LITTLE to BIG (this will only
apply to 2 byte/pixel images). This is the 4th release. Version
changes can be viewed in the file called "VERSION.HST".

Metafile Decoder 1.0 by Dennis Crain
WMFDCODE: Decodes Normal, Placeable, and CLP Metafiles
WMFDCODE decodes three types of metafiles: normal metafiles,
"placeable" metafiles, and metafiles that are saved on the
clipboard as CLP files. WMFDCODE enumerates and plays all or a
specified range of records in a metafile. Choose the File Open
command from the WMFDCODE main window to read in a metafile. Select
either BIRD.WMF or BALLON.CLP, which are provided as examples. The
View Headers command displays information on the metafile header,
the METAFILEPICT data structure, and the placeable WMF header (if
available). The View List command lists all of the records in the
metafile. You can select and play any combination of records from
the list to debug the contents of a metafile. The View Clear
command erases the metafile that is currently displayed.

and execute the user define logout process. WMLogout will execute a
batch file called MLOGOFF.BAT, which the user can customize to their own

perform other functions during a logout (such as task accounting systems

Larger fonts for Windows DOS boxes in SVGA modes by Peter Karrer
Lots of people have been complaining about the small fonts they get

WorkSpacer by Gregg Hommel, WiGuys Software [72537,552]
Way back when, I tested something called hDc FirstApps. One useful
utility included in those applications stored desktop configurations as
a named workset, and at your request, would restore that configuration
to the desktop. I no longer use hDc FirstApps, but have always liked
that concept, and missed the application many times. After some minor
experimentation with batch files under the Norton Desktop for Windows, I
decided to see if I might be able to accomplish something similar using
the Norton Desktop for Windows Batch Builder Language (ambitious, aren't
I??). The result is WorkSpacer. WorkSpacer: 1) obtains appropriate
information about your current desktop configuration, 2) stores that
information in a private ini file in your windows directory, 3) stores a
list of chosen workspace names in a file in your NDW directory, and 4)
restores to the desktop a workspace specified by the user.

Tips and Tricks for Windows 3.1, and
How to Make Windows PCs Run Faster
by Mark Strelecki, A.C.P.
There are a few tips you can use in getting your system up to speed with
Windows 3.1. Herewith are a few suggestions to get you started.
Fair warning - As with any attempt to optimize your computing
environment, you must make certain that these changes will not disrupt
the existing operation of your system. Therefore, you must make backups
of all files before proceeding with instructions herein, and only work
with copies of files, not the originals. Prepare yourself as well as
your system.
There are many important data files which, if lost, might create a whole
lot of difficulty in reconstructing. Consider creating and using a batch
file that creates copies of files with the extensions GRP and INI, and
stores them to another drive or directory. This will protect your
Program Manager groups, and all INI (initialization) files. Here's an
example:
rem INIBACK.BAT
echo off
cls
pkz iniback.zip *.ini *.grp
pause Press ANY Key
This DOS batch file will: Turn ECHO off, Clear the screen, and create an
archive called INIBACK.ZIP (in the current directory), made up of all
files with the extensions INI and GRP. These are the Windows Group files
and Initialization files for your Windows environment. Guard these
puppies like the precious cargo they are!
As with any DOS app, fine tuning of the operating environment is
essential to maximized performance from your particular (any) computer
system. In this text work, you'll be enabled to take a look at the first
two areas of concern: the DOS system configuration files, CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Dealing with GPFs
To reduce GPF (General Protection Fault) problems and provide better
performance, make sure your settings equal or better the settings shown
here. DOS 5 is used for this example...
After the system configuration files are set up, reboot the system and
then follow these guidelines for the HARD DRIVE.
Windows is very disk intensive, even when system RAM is plentiful, so
any effort at making the system hard drive as fast as possible will
always be beneficial and likely result in a substantial improvement in
performance. From the DOS prompt, type the command
CHKDSK *.*
to check for lost clusters and fragmented files. Occasionally you must
run it with the /F (Fix) parameter. When prompted "Convert lost
clusters" respond with Y. (NEVER run CHKDSK from within Windows, as
damage may occur to the hard drive.)
For top performance in Enhanced mode, in systems with less RAM than
twelve megabytes (or so), create a permanent swap file. This will
usually be faster than a temporary swap file, and on all systems, the
performance improvement will be well worth it. It cases where 16MB RAM
or more is installed, no swapfile is really necessary.
Several large applications can be loaded and maintained concurrently
without significant disk activity, something systems below 8MB RAM
cannot experience. It is this very disk "swapping" of memory sections
that creates much of the hardware resource demand. Making disk space
work as RAM can have some very interesting effects on design
considerations for application software, but it is definitely a burden
for any non-cached hard drive system. You'll read more later on
Smart Drive, the disk cache software shipping with MS-DOS 5 and Windows.
Optimizing Disk Drive Operation
Use a disk compaction utility monthly to keep program files contiguous
on the disk. This will provide snappier loading and running of programs.
If your software allows you to specify the extensions of files to be
placed first on the disk, place the programs and other executables there
for fastest access. Typically, file extensions you'll want to place at
the "top" (beginning) of the disk include all *.EXE, *. COM, and *.DLL
files.
The *.BAT and *.PIF files are editable and hence subject to change at
any time by the user. By keeping executables together at the beginning
of the disk, their access and loading times (and hence system
performance) will improve noticeably.
Installed Monitor Drivers
If you have a VGA monitor, you may find that the Windows 800x600 video
mode gives the best trade-off between screen "real estate" and ease on
your eyes. On VGA- equipped computers, Windows defaults to a VGA
resolution of only 640x480 pixels at Install time (more on Setup later)
and can be changed if you have a driver from the maker of your video
card. Run Setup from DOS while in the Windows directory to change video
modes and other system resources.
Installing Windows with SETUP
Take a tip - use the default values Setup shows you the very first time
you install Windows. After installation of Windows with the default
values, verify that the system runs Windows okay. Then quit Windows and
rerun Setup from the Windows directory to change to a higher resolution
video driver. Setup tends to choke while doing this under version 3.0.
It is STRONGLY recommended to have a PLAIN VANILLA configuration and
reboot to do your first installation of Windows 3.1. Upgrades should just
reboot, then run Setup.
Version of Windows
If you are using any kind of Network and will be printing on it, make
certain that you have at least version 3.1 of Windows. Check your
version by using the Help, About menu selection in Program Manager.
Starting at version 3.1 of Windows, you need new Netware drivers and TSR
shell programs for DOS. There is an easy way to generate the new IPX.COM
for all stations running on Netware; check with your network
administrator.
Running DOS apps in Windows
All DOS programs run under Windows 3 should have a customized PIF
(Program Information File) made for them, so Windows will know how to
treat them when they are run. PIFs allow you to specify the amount and
type of memory used by the DOS app, whether it can run in a window or
full screen, how much priority it gets while running, what kind of video
display method will be used, and other important data on the DOS
session.
For optimum performance, not only from your DOS sessions, but from
Windows as a whole, make certain that PIFs are specified in the command
line for your icons, not the .EXE filename.
When using PIFEDIT, you can click on an option (like "monitor ports")
and press F1 to see Help on it. Windows has much of the Help system
"buried", so it's best to just try F1 if you aren't certain what to do
next. Check Help from the PIFEDIT program for additional details.
PIF Settings
There are many significant areas of a PIF that can contribute to great
performance. Make certain these settings are made in your DOS PIF files
to assure top system performance:
MONITOR PORTS - OFF (All)
VIDEO MEMORY - Text
EMULATE TEXT MODE - Yes
Do a File, Run and enter PIFEDIT for the command to edit Program
Information Files.
Modes of Operation
Windows 3.1 runs in 2 modes, and you may be surprised at which one works
best for you. If you run a 286-based system with at least 384K of
extended (XMS) memory, Windows should be set to run in Standard mode. On
a 386 or 486, if at least 1MB of XMS memory is available, Windows will
default to Enhanced mode operation.
If you want to run multiple DOS programs on a 386/486 system, and they
must run in a window, Enhanced mode is the way to go.
If only one DOS app needs to run at a time, and can run full screen,
Standard mode is better because it is approximately 15-20% faster than
Enhanced mode.
If you will only be running Windows apps on a 386/486, consider the
extra speed of Standard mode!
Windows 3.1 no longer supports Real mode.
Standard mode is the best compromise at system throughput and power,
while 386 Enhanced mode is just that. Enhanced mode will best be used in
running Multiple DOS apps in windows, and will run more total programs
at the same time than any other mode. Enhanced mode also uses hard disk
space as system RAM when needed, so you can actually run more programs
than you have physical memory for. This "virtual memory" comes at the
cost of slower overall system performance, however.
Changing WIN.INI and other Config Files
There is a program which can help you edit those system-level files in
Windows. Run a program called SYSEDIT.EXE and see how easy it is to edit
AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI. This a power tool, and
should be used only by those who KNOW what they're doing.

Doctor Watson (The Program) by Microsoft
The Microsoft Windows Dr. Watson utility is a diagnostic tool for
Microsoft Windows. It detects system and application failures and can
store information in a disk file. This file can help you find and
determine which application(s) caused the problem. Only a single
instance of Dr. Watson can be run at a time. Dr. Watson cannot trap
faults in a Windows MS-DOS session.
This is a diagnostic tool designed to provide developers with detailed
information on the internal state of Microsoft Windows when a system
error such as a General Protection Fault (GPF), or in Windows 3.0, an
unrecoverable application error (UAE) occurs. Dr. Watson must be running
at the time a UAE occurs in order to extract the required internal
information from the system. Dr. Watson takes very little memory and
does not noticeably affect performance, so you are encouraged to install
Dr. Watson on your system.
Then, if another GPF occurs, valuable information will be collected and
written to a special file in the WINDOWS directory. Microsoft can use
this information to make the next version of Windows even better.
Application vendors can also use this information to improve their
applications. You might use it to trap a problem (or twelve...)
