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's 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! 3D4VB.ZIP Give your programs a NeXT-look without a .DLL. Complete VB Source included.

I can be reached on CompuServe via mail address 71641,2155 or by phone, 415-506-3212. 3DBUTTON is a set of functions that make it easy to create buttons that display a bitmap or icon in the face of your buttons, instead of text. 3DBUTTON draws your button in pushed and non-pushed states eliminating the need to have two versions of a bitmap or icon for each button. One bitmap or icon is used for displaying your button in both states. 3DICON.ZIP 60 more editable icons. This archive file contains a group of 3D icons with a button-like appearance to replace the rather bland icons in the Windows Main and Accessory groups.

It gives you 5 options: 5in1 could be substituted for Progman.exe as primary shell. 5in1 gives you information about your current Windows 3.0 mode Real, Standard or Enhanced in the Title Bar. It gives you also the amount of Free Available Memory. 5in1 includes a small shell from which you can easily 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 compacting memory. This indicates that system memory is low. When an application receives this message, it should free as much memory as possible, taking into account the current level of activity of the application and the total number of applications running in Windows. ABOUT.ZIP Bouncing Command Button - by Lou Marino [70322,1473] Modify this program -- please..... This is just a little hack I wrote just for the hell of it. The Command button is calculated to stay inside the boundaries of the About window no matter the size of the button or the window. Resize both if you do not believe me.....

You can now Launch these programs from a single Icon, instead of a slew of Icons cluttering and hogging your Valuable Desktop space. Besides it's a lot easier to find the program from a single Icon rather than hunting through the slew that Windows came with. Also, you will see a great speed improvement when programs are launched from Accessory Mate. ACHART11.ZIP ASCII Chart 1.1 by Dave Lord ACHART is a Windows 3.0 program which displays a character chart in the form of a 16x16 table. The following variations may be displayed: IBM PC 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. ACLOCK12.ZIP [$5.00] Astronomy Clock for Windows by Pocket-Sized Software ACTIVATE.ZIP Activate by Chris Walker Activate was created to keep a program for controlling an industrial machine on top and maximized. Activate needs to be started after the program to keep maximized has been started. Activate can be terminated by pressing CONTROL SHIFT and F12 at the same time, or by terminating the program to keep maximized. Activate should be started by using WIN.INI's load or run line. Activate determines which program to maximize based on that programs caption. ACTORMDI.ZIP Actor program source for multiple document interface. AD-SPLAT.ZIP Add-on module for After Dark screen blanker. ADDITM.ZIP Visual Basic routine to access .INI files. ADDMNU14.ZIP 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. ADDRSB.ZIP [$10.00] Professional's Address Book by Dane Basch. [72027,3036] This ToolBook application will allow you to record names, addresses, and phone numbers, if that is all you want to record. There are also fields 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. ADG_1-3.ZIP (also ADG_4-6.ZIP and ADG_7-8.ZIP) Sample apps from the book "Windows 3.0: A Developer's Guide" by Jeffrey M. Richter on M&T Books. Samples include dialog boxes, window sub- and super-classing, printer setup, screen blanking and much more. A must have for Windows programmers... 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. ADR11A.ZIP [$39.95] Address Manager by Wilson WindoWare Tracks addresses, phone numbers, comments, important dates. Includes dialer and label printer. Supports DDE. Top Flight!

ALW108.ZIP Astronomy Lab by Personal MicroCosms One of the most innovative, interesting, and useful shareware astronomy programs available for Microsoft Windows 3.X.

APDCK400.ZIP {$10.00] Application Dock 4.0 David R. Black A collection of icons that sits along the right side of your screen to provide quick access to many of your programs. This icon bar, if you will, stays visible all of the time, and simply clicking on the bar brings it to the top, where you can double-click on an icon to bring up the program associated with it. Written in Visual Basic, this program was inspired by a much simpler version by John Morley. This program is an attempt to bring some features of the excellent Workspace Manager on the NeXT computer to Windows 3. 7/13/92 REQUIRES Windows 3.1 or later and a mouse or other pointing device What's New in Version 4.0: - Rewritten completely in C++ - Extraction of Icons from Program Files - Drag & Drop Support - Elimination of seperate dock editor - Variable Button Size - Sound Support APLAUNCH.ZIP Application Launcher for Windows by Robert Fabian Provide a list oriented alternative for the desktop populated with icons.

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. APLETFMT.ZIP Text on Windows Accessories Binary File Formats. This note describes the binary file formats used by Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) Write and Microsoft Windows Calendar.

APMV1.ZIP Text file on Advanced Power Management by Intel Corporation & Microsoft 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 life of system batteries without degrading performance. The goal of prolonging battery life for portable computers does not preclude the usefulness of APM in other environments and applications.

(CW) APPBAR3.ZIP App Bar Launcher version 3.1415b by NEVERnever Software 12-2-92 A half year ago I saw AppDock, a NeXT alike buttonbar 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 iconbar. 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. APPSHL.ZIP [Free] App Shell 1.0 by Jim Presley [73417,2674] Template for File-oriented Applications Provides base for Visual basic applications. Some source code is included. A mini-text editor (multi-line text control) is used to demonstrate all file-oriented functions found in a standard Windows application. Windows Write was used as a model with improvements made where it seemed to make sense. The file open/save as dialogs adhere to 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 source is included. 8-91 ARACHNID.ZIP Card game like Solitare, only more. ARC13P.ZIP [Free] Architect Font by Hank Gillette [73627,3612] ATM Type 1 font installs easily for all Windows apps. ARCHES.ZIP Great wallpaper graphic of arches in water! 256 colors. ARCH_TB.ZIP 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 " (e.g. a page for a fifth player would need to be named "Player 5" and so on), and then save the book and reopen it (needed to reinitialize variables and set up new pages). I have not documented this "feature" in the book itself, but the code will support any number of players as long as all pages are properly named and on the same background. ARCHD11.ZIP ARCHON 1.1 for Windows Manage all files by storing in a database on hard disks, floppy, networks. Fast retrieval.

Program in ARCHP.EXE ARRANG.ZIP 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 Symantec. ARUN10.ZIP [$5.00] Autorun 1.0 by Daniel Lee Kelly II Simplifies the setting and changing of the programs that automatically execute upon booting Windows, AUTORUN will automatically run all programs in the group named "Autorun".

AUTOKEY.ZIP 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. ATART.ZIP a_tartan Version 1.0 A Microsoft Windows tartan generator by James Patrick Russell. CIS [71620,3061] ILink - JIM RUSSELL (WinAppDev conference host) This WinApp will generate a small "swatch" of tartan bitmap, which can be used as tiled wallpaper in Microsoft Windows (v3.0 and later). It was written solely for my own amusement, and I am distributing it as "freeware" for anyone to freely use and enjoy. I ask only for feedback and maybe some pattern description's of YOUR clan's tartan. As this is basically a "toy" application, don't expect long-winded docs explaining what Windows wallpaper is, or for that matter, what tartans are.

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.

BIGD23.ZIP Big Desk V2.33 by Ian Heath One of the best things about Windows is that you can run several programs at once. The only real problem with this (apart, perhaps, from excruciating slowness when there are 30 or so copies of some game running at the same time) is that the screen gets awfully cluttered. Bigdesk is the answer to this problem, and we think you're going to like it once you get the idea. 3-92 BIORTH.ZIP Biorythm Method 1.00(Beta) by Eric Fogelin Biorythm charts in Windows.

You can scan through an .EXE or .DLL file and view all bitmaps present. By using the right arrow button, the next bitmap will be displayed and by using the left arrow button the previous bitmap can be brought back and displayed. Files with the .DLL extension, and even the .DRV extension can also be read by the BitMan program. To see a list of files with either of these extensions merely click the mouse in the edit control at the top of the file selection dialog and replace the .EXE text with .DLL, .DRV, or whatever text is desired. There are other files with non-standard extensions that are readable by BitMan. Key information on each bitmap will be displayed as it is viewed. This information includes the following: Name of bitmap in the resource file, Dimension of bitmap (in pixels), Number of colors in bitmaps color palatte BITMAP.ZIP by Ted Young [76703,4343] Experiments with Bitmaps, hDCs, Images, Pictures, and AutoRedraw I gave up trying to write a dozen different sample programs to figure out what's going on with VB, AutoRedraw, hDC and the Windows GDI. So, I wrote a program (actually drew a form, the code was no big deal) which exercises pretty much all of the graphics methods in terms of refreshing, cls, pset/line, etc., along with the GDI stuff like BitBlt, and the GDI line drawing (MoveTo, LineTo, SetPixel, etc.).

This is accomplished in two ways: (1) The cursor 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 monitors. It has for years been normal for TEXT screen cursors to blink. 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.

At that point, Blank blacks out the screen and begins moving an icon around at a speed you can specify. You can also change the icon displayed. This program is freeware...enjoy! BLOB.ZIP [$3.00] BLOB.C by Kevin S. Murray 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 possesion of the original square. If you move two squares, you lose possesion 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!).

CLRCTL.ZIP [$15.00] 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 combobox that contains rectangles of color that can be selected by the user using the normal input actions for comboboxes. By default, the color selector uses the standard 16 "pure" colors as its selection palette, but this can be changed using normal combobox messages.

DEUS.ZIP File management shell that looks lots like a Mac. 4-91 DEVENV.ZIP 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 with more than one version of Windows, more than one set of tools (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 particular requirement and suggests a directory structure in which a source control system maintains one or more projects. These suggestions are based on the system we employed at Microsoft to create the multimedia extensions to Windows. DH14A.ZIP [$15.00] Desktop Helper by Robert E. Alleger [70240,264] Runs popup menu from the desktop. 7-92 The Desktop Helper is a Windows 3 Desktop utility that provides capabilities missing from Microsoft's Program Manager while also providing the more important capabilities of the Task Manager.

DICE11.ZIP [$10.00] Dice Roller 1.10 by Robert J. Trembley DICKTR.ZIP Wallpaper of 3 Dick Tracy logos from the hit movie. DIFFX.ZIP 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 itimized 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 seemlessly from Windows itself so as to make the whole process as painless as possible. From Kurt S: 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 ocurred 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.

Version 1.00 by Bob Dolan December 18, 1991 An easy to use and very efficient replacement for the Windows Program Manager. Occupies the top line of the desktop and provides access to any application that the Program Manager does. DNGR20.ZIP Dinger 2.0 by Pinecliffe International Word for Windows macro collection and inside information. Dinger itself the full-blown version gives you access to all of your characters in all of your fonts, with just a couple of clicks. Alas, Dinger is much slower than QwikSymbol and Accenter. But it doesn't rely upon a pre-ordained subset of characters. Dinger gives you the whole enchilada. If you use WinWord, you MUST have this file. Highly recommended for the inside track on how to use this powerhouse word processor. DOCHLP.ZIP [$249 retail] Doc-To-Help, by WexTech Systems, Inc. is a Word for Windows 2.0 utility that will help you write professional-quality documentation and convert that documentation into Windows on-line help automatically.

DOSPIF.ZIP from Brian Livingston's INFOWORLD magazine column 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. DOTSWP.ZIP Wallpaper (BMP) files to tile your screen with. Fractal designs. DOUGH10A.ZIP [Can$45.00] Dough Boy Install by NeoPoint Technologies is a program that will automatically create a customized INSTALL program for your software.

Dough Boy Install will proceed to create a master disk set, optimally placing files to reduce the number of disks required. DRAGZP.ZIP Drag And Zip and Zip View by Dan Baumbach [71320,1277] 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. DREKTR12.ZIP File Director version 1.2 by M.J. Orr [70570,3563] Released August 5,1991 for Windows 3. A nice little file/app manager/shell with a button approach. DRFRANK.ZIP Dr. Frank by Matt Pietrek [76117,1720] A program that will help you perform a post-mortem on your Unrecoverable Application Errors (UAE's) with Microsoft Windows. It is part of a suite 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, which is currently in beta testing. TOOLHELP.DLL is shipped with BC++ 3.0, and is also available on Compuserve. It can be found either with DRWTSN.ZIP or as TLLHLP.ZIP on WINADV. The names and locations may move around, so your best bet is to search across all libraries for TOOLHELP or WATSON. DRWATSON and TOOLHELP.DLL are Microsoft products. There are many features that are not discussed in the general "how-to" sections of this file. 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. Dr. Frank is Freeware for the time being. All I ask is that you let me know what you think, and if you have suggestions, or think you have a bug, to let me know. Also, my main hangouts on Compuserve are BPROGB, sections 3 & 8 DRIFT.ZIP Drift Version 0.01 by Nick Waltham 8th Nov 1991 This is an utterly pointless program which causes all windows and icons to drift around the screen. I got the idea from a progam that came with the Acorn Archimedes 'DeskTop'. This program (for what its worth!) is donated to the public domain. This progam must be distributed unmodified complete with this readme file. No fee may be charged for it (who WOULD pay...) except for any reasonable copying charges. DRJPR.ZIP by John P. Rogers A Windows 3.0 utility for file management and execution. Copy all supplied files to the Windows subdirectory of your hard disk and then run DRIVES.EXE. These programs are provided FREE, NO support, NO guarantees. These programs can be distributed as you like as long as no cash payment is made. DRWATF.ZIP Breakdown of the dump entries made in DRWATSON.LOG. Programmers mote. File formats laid bare for all to see. DRWATSON.ZIP DrWatson 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 an unrecoverable application error (UAE) occurs. DrWatson must be running at the time a UAE occurs in order to extract the required internal information from the system. DrWatson takes very little memory and does not affect performance, so we encourage you to install DrWatson in your system. Then, if another UAE 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. DSKTRK11.ZIP DiskTrak for Windows Version 1.10 by Peninsula Software DiskTrak for Windows was designed to provide a "quick and easy" method for keeping track of diskette files. DiskTrak for Windows will allow you 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 DOS Shell functionality. 2-92 DSOUND.ZIP [$1.00] Sounder 2.0 by by Aaron Wallace Digitalized Sound Player for Windows 3.0 Sounder allows you to play digitalized sound files recorded in the popular Macintosh sound format on your PC. Better yet, no sound board is required, although a 10 MHz or faster machine is. This program was 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. DSTORM.ZIP Wallpaper of the Desert Storm. DTPCHT.ZIP Desktop Publishing Chart by CompuSign Screen and Density Guide for use in Corel Draw. DTPB.ZIP 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 DTPCHT.ZIP [$2.00] 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 sreens may appear to be black; this is because the laser printer is incapable of printing such fine screens). DUMPER.ZIP [#5.00] File Dumper by N. Waltham, Oxford Computer Journals Prints files in the background, directly to system ports. Dumper.exe is a Windows 3.0 program to print files in the background. The files can contain printer codes. Output does not go through the printer manager but drives the COM ports and LPT ports directly. Because this is a proper windows program it multitasks smoothly - Its main use is to print files from DOS applications which do not multitask well 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. DUPE11.ZIP [$25.00] File DeDuplicator by Babbacombe Computers Ltd. Finds duplicate files and optionally deletes them. 7-91 DW122.ZIP DataWorks 1.29 xBase Filemanager for Windows by Comsoft Inc. [70524,3723] May 1992 Version 1.29 DataWorks is designed as an xBase power user's tool to be used by developers building applications with VXBASE for Visual Basic. VXBASE may be found on the bulletin board that carries DataWorks. It is uploaded as two files. The latest release is composed of files vxbdoc.zip (documentation) and vxbase.zip (vxbase.dll). DataWorks documentation is contained entirely in an extensive Windows Help file accessible from the main DataWorks menu. DYNAM.ZIP DYNAMIC BITMAP RESIZER VERSION 1.0 BY MIKE MEZAROS This is a simple program designed to demonstrate the power of GFA Basic for Windows. The GFA Basic runtime DLL is necessary to run this program. 286 users should download GFA286.ZIP from CompuServe, 386SX or better users should download GFA386.ZIP from CompuServe. This program is designed to show off a great feature of GFA Basic, but it is also a useful tool. This program is based on the Stretch command included in 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. E-WAVES.ZIP More WAV (sound) files for Windows 3.1+. ECUWIN11.ZIP The Earth Centered Universe by David J. Lane [71601,247] ECU is a Sky Visualization Program capable of simulating many of the phenomenon of the country night sky. This includes the stars, planets, sun, and moon, comets, and "deep sky" objects. ECU is designed as an observing tool for the observing amateur astronomer, but is equally useful to the "armchair" astronomer or other interested person. Many of the concepts and terms used in this manual are common in amateur astronomy, but may not be familiar to all users. The author recommends the purchase of a good beginner book in astronomy as a guide to the understanding of the concepts provided by this program.

This is one of the best reasons to use Windows. (See also PROGSET from PCMagazine) ELEMEN.ZIP Periodic Table of the Elements by Gregory A. Jones EM10.ZIP 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 from your application. It patiently and silently monitors your keystrokes for the Start/Stop key. When it finds that key, it starts recording until you hit that same key again. Then it monitors for the playback key, springing into action by playing back your keystrokes, when it finds it. EMAIL.ZIP Freeware Network Email, version 2.12 by Ivory Tower Software Updated May 27, 1992 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. EMBWW.ZIP Text file by Scott Skorupa MS Windows Developer Support Version 1.0 Rev. Date: 10-Jul-92 What is an Embedded Window?

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.

FATBIT.ZIP [Free] 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 multi-tasking, you can leave it open and still continue to use other programs while it runs. FAULTW.ZIP Text file from Microsoft "Bulletproof Functions with ToolHelper" by Kraig Brockschmidt , Software Design Engineer, Systems Developer Relations FBAC10.ZIP FileBoy's AreaCodes 1.0, a member of the FileBoy family of utilities for Windows 3.0, is an area code database which supports all area codes, as of this date, in the U.S., Canada, and the U.S. Caribbean islands.

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. FBUSTER.ZIP [Free] Font Buster by Christopher Shaulis Shows installed fonts. Requires VBRUN100.DLL. FC-10J.ZIP File Commander by Wilson WindoWare An extender for the Win 3.1 File Manager. It adds a menu item to the File Manager menu bar. From this single top-level menu item, File Commander allow you to make up to 99 menu items spread upto 5 levels deep. The menu items, when selected, execute our Windows Interface Language (WIL) code. What is the WIL language? Well, its the Windows batch file language developed by Wilson WindowWare, and found in the following products: Wilson WindowWare: Command Post - As the menu script language Wilson WindowWare: WinBatch - The Windows batch language Symantec: Norton Desktop - The Batch Runner/Builder language PubTech: BatchWorks - The Windows batch language >>> If you have used Command Post, you will find the menu scripts >>> *remarkably* similiar. The WIL language supports zillions (well maybe 200) different functions that allow you to do pritnear anything. Included with this ZIP file is most of the Command Post documentation (as FILECMDR.TXT) and a file highlighting new features recently added to Command Post, WinBatch and now File Commander (NEWSTUFF.TXT). FD11.ZIP Fill diskette utility in Windows. FEDPRO13.ZIP Star Trek Program Launcher by Anthony Targonski "Pursuant to our request from the Computer Antiquity Museum (COMU) on Deneb IV, we are enclosing with this transmission a compressed filepacket containing the Federation Control program module Program Transporter. This program is part of a larger series of modules, which together make up the Federation Master Control program. This module was originally developed several hundred years ago, prior to the Eugenics Wars in the early 1990's, to be processed on the 386, 486, 586 and 686 series of microprocessors. It was later ported to the BILL 1 series by Khan Noonian Singh and his father (Phillipe), two genetically engineered humans who battled The original founder of the Federation of Planets (originally formed in Redmond, Washington) for control in what came to be known as the Eugenics Wars." Very original. FFIND.ZIP File finder utility. FILAPP.ZIP by Eschalon Development Inc. [76625,1320] FileApp is a complete graphical file manager for Windows 3. Navigate through directories, edit, copy, move, delete, and rename files - even copy and delete entire directories - plus many more functions. Much easier and faster to use than File Manager. Uses a pleasing and powerful "3d" interface. From the same folks who brought you WinCLI! FILEBOX.ZIP by Harry JF Wykes (End User Computing Limited) FILEBOX demonstrates how to fake a Windows style file-open box from within VB. A ListBox is used to display the directories and disks, rather than the Visual Basic DriveBox and DirBox objects. The only thing I could not manage to fake was Alt-F, Alt-D and Alt-N accelerator keys to skip to the File, Directory and Name boxes. Any suggestions on how to acheive this are welcome. FILEMAN.ZIP [$25.00] File manager 1.03 by T. Dreiling [72607,3710]. 4-91 FILEMAN is a small Microsoft Windows v 3.0 file manager for copying, moving, renaming, and deleting files.

FIND3.ZIP FINDER 3.00 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. FIRE54.ZIP [Free] Fireworks 5.4 by Kim Levitt Synergistic Enterprises 2/12/91 Screen saver with fireworks! FLEXDB.ZIP Toolbook that demonstrates the resizing of contents whenever the window is resized. Interesting for graphically oriented applications in TBook. FM_211.ZIP FileMan by T. Dreiling [72607,3710] A WINDOWS file manager for copying, moving, renaming, and deleting files. In addition, other utilities are provided, including the ability to change file attributes, to rename or delete subdirectories and to perform file searches and format diskettes. Nicely done. FM10C.ZIP FM Sound Driver by Monty Schmidt The enclosed programs will allow you to use the FM synthesis abilities of your Adlib and SoundBlaster sound cards under Windows 3.0. You will be able to play ROL music files, edit instruments, and eventually do other neat things as software becomes available. This driver also replaces the normal boring error beep of Windows with a note from the sound card. This driver has been written independently by me, Monty Schmidt. The enclosed instrument editor, INSTEDIT, was written by David Giller, the control program SOUND PANEL was written by me, and the ROL player program, PLAYER, was written by both myself and David Giller. These programs were written to support the Adlib card and also the Creative Labs SoundBlaster card in Adlib compatible mode. This was done in order to support the largest number of cards possible with Windows sound support. FM202.ZIP 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 softfonts 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 {Free] FMAN.EXE is a freeware replacement for the WIN 3.X file mananger. It was originally written to replace the glacially slow 3.0 file manager. Since FMAN was written, WIN 3.1 has been released and FMAN 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 addon that provides an animated bitmap. In order to run properly you will need a copy of VBRUN100.DLL in your path somewhere (pre- ferably in your \WINDOWS directory) and you also will need to have the ANIBUTTON.VBX file in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Since this is freeware, you don't get much (actually, any) documentation but the program seems to be fairly intuitive so give her a try. Hint: the right mouse button click selects 'ALL' files - FMATS101.ZIP [Free] Formatting Shell for Windows 1.01 by Chieh Cheng [73500,244]. Includes a .PIF for the DOS Format command. 7-24-90 FNTR41.ZIP [$15.00] Fonter 4.1 by George Campbell [71571,222] Fonter was designed to fill a gap in current Windows 3.0 programs. Since Windows can use and display many fonts, especially with font scaling software like ATM or FaceLift, it's easy to accumulate enough fonts that you soon forget what you have. Even worse, many companies' fonts use a different character set, especially in the extended ASCII characters. Also, creating a notebook containing samples of all your fonts is a time consuming process if you use a word processor to do the job. So here's Fonter, which does all that and more. Fonter runs under Windows 3.0 and lets you view and print all the fonts available for your printer and screen. FNTVIEW.ZIP Font Viewer 2.0 by Frederick F. Freeland Jr. FOLDER32.ZIP [$20.00] Create nested groups within Program Manager. Sloop Software [72540,144] FONTSH43.ZIP [$15.00] FontShow for Windows 4.3 by Harvey J. Kaye [73667,1755] FontShow is a font viewing and cataloging program for Microsoft Windows. It is designed primarily for those users of Windows that have many fonts installed and require an effective and easy to use method of cataloging and displaying their installed fonts. FontShow is intended for users of font addon packages such as Adobe Type Manager, Bitstream Facelift, SuperPrint, or Publisher's PowerPak. FontShow should be compatible with Windows 3.1 and TrueType when it becomes available, however this has not yet been tested. FontShow has been tested extensively in the ATM version 1.1 environment only. The source code is commented and should answer most of your questions. When you're comfortable using FOPEN delete the comments. Some routines are borrowed from the Visual Basic Programmer's Guide and cardfile.bas.

GMKEY.ZIP 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. GO.ZIP Famous game in a Windows version.

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.

IB10.ZIP ImageBank - a Clipboard Extender for Graphic Images ImageBank extends the capabilities of the Windows clipboard by storing multiple images placed on the clipboard. It serves as a temporary bank that stores bitmaps and Windows metafiles, displays them in separate windows, and affords quick retrieval via cut and paste. ImageBank requires Windows 3.1. You must also have sufficient free memory to store the images you place into ImageBank. ImageBank stores both regular bitmaps, DIBs (device independent bitmaps) and metafiles. 1,4, 8, and 24 bit bitmaps are supported - subject to your hardware and device driver. To conserve memory, IB uses the device driver function 'SETDIBITSTODEVICE' when displaying bitmap images. If your driver lacks support for this function, either you need an update for the driver, or IB is not for you. 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.

LBAS02P2.ZIP [$49.95] Liberty BASIC - limited version Release 0.2 Docs Copyright 1992 Shoptalk Systems Liberty BASIC is a personal BASIC programming system for MS Windows 3.0 requiring a 286, 386, 486 or better and 3 Megabytes of RAM or more. Liberty BASIC Release 0.1 supports the following features: Highly MS-BASIC compatible (this does not mean Quick BASIC or Q-BASIC) Procedural programming model (not event driven, like Visual BASIC) Line numbers are optional with descriptive alphanumeric labels permitted The following commands are supported: LET, PRINT, INPUT, GOTO, GOSUB/RETURN, FOR/NEXT, IF/THEN, OPEN/CLOSE, PRINT#, INPUT#, DIM, REM (or ') The following functions are supported: LEN(), MID$(), EOF(), INT(), INPUT$(), VAL(), STR() Strings and integers of virtually unlimited size are supported (certainly larger than most need), and if you have a math coprocessor, Liberty BASIC will automatically take advantage of it where advantageous. File operations for this release of Liberty BASIC are limited to sequential access only. LEARNTBK.ZIP Learn ToolBook with this excellent introductory tutorial. LENS101.ZIP Lens 1.00 by Ned Konz [76046,223] A Windows Screen Magnifying Glass This is a Windows version of an Amiga program I wrote in 1985. It was written in C++ and compiled with Zortech's excellent v3.0 compiler. Interestingly, the Windows version of Lens runs about as fast on a 25 MHz 80386 as the Amiga version did on a 7 MHz 68000. I think this is because I am using the Windows StretchBlt() call to do the magnification here, instead of my optimized magnification routine on the Amiga. Future versions of Lens for Windows will probably magnify faster using this routine. If you feel this program has value to you, I'd really appreciate some kind of payment ($5 bills, source code, good beer, etc.). Lens normally magnifies an area of the screen around the mouse cursor.

I've tried to make this thing take up as little time as possible, but Windows is fairly slow at context-switching and any programs running in PeekMessage() mode degrade performance (IMHO). Still, I run LoadMon anyway because it can show you which apps are real pigs and which apps are well-written :-) Actually I'm not really sure how accurate LoadMon is. Have fun with it!

METCNVRT.ZIP [$7.00] Metric Converter by Robert Heath - Very Nice. Data entry screen/calculator for converting all kinds of stuff! METER.ZIP 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 acutal 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.

It may act as a replacement for Windows' Program Manager, or it may operate alongside it. It provides most of the functions of the Program 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 IconBar: ProLauncher's main function is to launch other applications. Its main window is a fully customizable IconBar 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 IconBar 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.

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 usefull 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.

QUITWIN2.ZIP [$9.00] 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.

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! RESTART.ZIP Restart Windows by clicking on an icon.

Toolhelp library functions are used for this purpose. TERMWAIT requires 3.1 to build. However it has been compiled for 3.1 & 3.0 compatibility.

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.

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. SP12SPXA.ZIP 2 add-on Screen Peace screen blanker modules: DRAGONS, SOLIDS. SPIRO.ZIP Spirograph Version 1 by Jerry Hogsett [73730,2460] Spirograph displays interesting geoshapes in a sizeable window. SPRBAR11.ZIP [$15.00] SuperBar 1.1 by William J. Wood SuperBar is a Windows program for creating and editing user configurable tool bars called SuperBars. A SuperBar consists of a gray area containing several buttons, each assigned to an application menu command. A SuperBar can be added to any Windows application that is compatible with the SuperBar program. Most Windows applications which have standard menu bars are compatible with SuperBar. SuperBar can be used to increase efficiency by placing commonly used menu commands on a SuperBar. In addition to providing SuperBars, this program also includes the ability to start a Windows application at the same location on the desktop every time it is executed. The application can be run normally, minimized, maximized or hidden. A hidden application runs normally but cannot be seen on the desktop. This feature is useful for hiding utility programs which should run in the background. VERY NICE! SPRCLK.ZIP SuperClock by SouthBay Software The definitive alarm and clock system for Windows 3.1. SuperClock allows one to set an unlimited number of alarms and attach Post-it type reminders to them. Alarms may be scheduled to reoccur at pre-defined intervals. Offers various options for using alarms. Uses Windows 3.1 multimedia capabilities to play customizable sounds for an hourly chime and alarms. Animated clock face displays the time in an iconized format. SPX-MORE.ZIP More Screen Peace screen saver modules: LIFE, WORMS. (9-90) SSBAT.ZIP [Free] A Screen Saver by Paul Gyugyi Bat-Blinds is a screen saver module that works with the screen saver built into Windows 3.1. In "bat-mode", organo-metalic (well, not really) bands will wrap around each of your windows to protect them from prying eyes. Check the sound box to enable a whip-like sound for those of you with sound drivers. (The sound cannot be changed). The colorful option 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. STARBASE.ZIP Starbase 0.02 game by Wade Reynolds. STARS.ZIP Floating star field for desktop with popup menu! Very nice. START.ZIP Makes new opening screen (.RLE) for Windows 3.0. STARTUP.ZIP Have you ever wanted to change the screen Microsoft Windows 3.0 displays when you start it? With STARTUP, you can create your own Windows start-up screen. After you create your screen and save it in 4-bit RLE format. STAT21.ZIP [$10.00] StatLine 2.1 by James Bell, August 1991 Statline is a small utility for the Windows 3.0 environment. Statline gives you the mode, day, date, time and amount of memory free all at once. With Statline you can also launch other Windows applications, keep a small notepad, exit Windows quickly and delete files. You can even keep a menu of your five favorite programs at your fingertips. Statline is also light on your resources, when loaded it uses just over 20k and is updated about every 12 seconds. Experienced Windows users can probably just skim this manual and figure out most of Statline in a few moments using the help display. STOPW.ZIP [Free] Stopwatch by Kyle Kane Stephens Stopwatch was developed because I needed a simple utility to keep track of the time I spent on the computer when I was consulting. Stopwatch marks the time when you tell it to and when you stop it, it marks the 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. STRTGY.ZIP Text file from Microsoft detailing the future of Windows, and how DOS figures into it. Shipped as RTF file, usable in WinWord. Read This!! STSBAR.ZIP Status Bar Control Version 1.1.0 by Jean-Marc Krikorian Dynamic Link Library, an import library and an external header file. These three files will allow you to access the Status Bar Control. Also included is a sample program SBTEST.* that shows one how to access the control. A Microsoft Word for Windows document is also included that explains more about the control. In the document every message is explained in detail and the layout resembles that of the Microsoft Windows SDK Manuals. The Status Bar Control DLL is a shareware product. I welcome any suggestions, comments or questions you may have on this product. The source code is also available. 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. SUTL25.ZIP SUTL 2.5 A Collection of 17 Small Utilities by Bob Eyer [73230,2620] Aug 3, 1992 SWBOOK.ZIP [$5.00] THE SOFTWARE BOOK by Charles K. Snider [73730,1315] A Book for Software Descriptions. 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! SWLOG.ZIP [$5.00] Software LogBook 1.0 by Dane Basch Written as ToolBook application. SYSEDIT2.ZIP SYSEDIT2 by Robert (BOB) Frazier [70172,177] 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. SYSGRAF4.ZIP Version 4.0 of System Graph by Bill Crow, Hewlett-Packard Co, Jim Hasselbeck, PPG Industries., and James Straub, Stony Brook University. SysGraph displays the load in the Windows system queue in an icon at the bottom of the screen. The graph is updated every 1/2 second. Additional system load is shown by dips in the graph. 6-91 SYSLOAD.ZIP System Load icon spins onscreen to show system loading. No docs. SYSRES.ZIP System Resource Display Version 1.0B by D. Beach [70641,654] SysRes is used to provide continous 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. 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. TAIPEI.ZIP [$10.00] Taipei 3.10 by Dave Norris. Game.

Most This is a handy Windows utility to correlate film footage and video timecode. It can calculate properly using either drop frame or non drop 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 TCHAOS.ZIP [Free] Time & Chaos 1.0A Prerelease version [74017,3424] A tool to provide an alternative to the overly complex Personal Information Managers (PIMS). Having purchased and evaluated 3 major, highly rated, high priced WINDOWS 3.0 PIMS, I was frustrated with their inability to present to me and print a simple Calendar, My Daily Appointments , My To-do list and my phone book. I expect a Windows Product to be obvious, and intuitive. So....I wrote Time & Chaos. Hopefully you too will find Time & Chaos to be a valuable tool. TETRIS3.ZIP Another Tetris-like game.

TTI14.ZIP True Type Font Installer Version 1.40 by Kai Kaltenbach True Type Font Installer (TTInstal) was created to provide one major feature that is lacking from the font installation feature of the Microsoft Windows 3.1 Control Panel: mainly the ability to preview fonts before they are installed. Along the way, some other features ended up in the program and more may be added as time goes by. TTINSTAL FEATURES - Previews TrueType fonts before they are installed - Supports network font installation - Supports compressed TrueType font files (those that use Microsoft-standard compression with the standard .TT_ file extension, such as used on the Microsoft True Type Font Pack for Windows) - Includes full Windows-based setup program with network support - Allows you to preview fonts in any desired size - Prints font specimen sheets TTRAK10.ZIP [$29.95] TaskTracker 1.0 by Barry Seymour TaskTracker for Windows is for professionals who bill by the hour.

Picciotto Communications and terminal emulation program - very nice. UARTMN12.ZIP 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. ) UC12.ZIP [$5.00] 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 comsume 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. UC3F-1.ZIP UniComm 3.0F by Data Graphics Background communications for Windows features X/Y/ZModem, scripting language and scheduler, online help system, chat mode, hot keys, macros, print logging and mouse/keyboard recording. 7-92 UMAX120.ZIP UMAx 1.20 by FM de Monasterio allows for the testing of a number of services of the extended memory manager, which implements the extended memory specification in 80286-based or higher machines.

USHER14C.ZIP [$15.00] 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.

UWIN10.ZIP U/Win by The Boolean Group, Inc. [72077,506 or 76370,3353] 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.

VBFINDID.ZIP by Costas Kitsos October 1991 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. VBFLIP.ZIP VB Flipper app. VBGA.ZIP VBGA VER. 1.00 by Jim McClure Vance. This program was written with Microsoft Visual Basic 1.0 The bitmaps were generated with Windows Paint. I generated the program to familiarize myself with VB 1.0 It was fun. There are several maps of Georgia with information related to the map type. Nothing to flashy now, but this is my FIRST EXE. I hope there is some use for the information contained in VBGA.EXE and I would like to get some feedback if anyone has a comment. 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).

If you use Visual Basic this utility is a MUST!! VBTERM.ZIP [76701,11] 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.

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. VCPI.ZIP Text file by Daniel Travison on DOS Extender technology/implementation.

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. VMULT.ZIP By David Risack Doubles sampling rate in SoundBlaster files and writes new header. VMULT is for use on SoundBlaster Voice files (.VOC). This program allows you to double the actual sampling rate. This is a very simple process of stripping the header and doubling each byte.

WALDO.ZIP by Leo Melanson [74130,2141] This Visual Basic program loads and unloads a brief animation sequence of WALDO (from Where's WALDO? fame). He walks across the form, then the program closes. For fun, can you tell if this is the real Waldo or an imposter and why? The animation isn't great, and the program is very simple, but I thought it might help some beginners add some flare to their programs. I am a beginner too, but VB makes this very simple. WALKER.ZIP [$10.00] WALKER by Brad Lucas [74130,2452] Windows Application Executive runs programs from a small window.

WANSI12E.ZIP 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. WARHEADS.ZIP Warheads for Windows v 1.01 by Brian C. Lowe and Eric Lee Steadle Game ala Missile Command, nicely done.

WCLOCK11.ZIP ======== [$10.00] WCLOCK 1.1 by Dylan. C. Rhodes French Translation by Frederic Le Bas WCLOCK presents a slightly more user-friendly time display than the standard CLOCK program supplied by Microsoft. WCLOCK is loosely based on a program called DAYTIME which I once saw running on a BSD Unix system. I wrote this using Borland C++ (although I used pure ANSI C) on an ALR BusinessVEISA model 101 sporting a Hercules Graphics Station Card. (And yes, the program really does look that much better on a 1024x768x256 screen.) 5-91 WCOLORS.ZIP by Richard Hale Shaw WINCOLOR is the answer to all of Windows 3.0 Control Panel limitations.

WE227.ZIP WindE by Bill Block [74010,1110] As a first time user, you will find that WindE is unique amoung the current crop of programming editors. This uniqueness is WindE's strength and its weakness. The weakness comes from the fact that there really is not anything similar from which a new user can have gained any previous experience. The strength in the WindE interface is that any text in any file can be pointed to with the mouse, selected and used in any of several commands that can be poped-up with the mouse.

WGF10A.ZIP WGIF 1.0a 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 Window s 3.0. It loads pictures in 50% of the time that WinGIF 0.80 needs and it can p erform 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 WGI F will open and begin displaying the picture. 2-91 WGLIB101.ZIP [$25.00] WGLIB version 1.01 Released: July, 1992 by InfoSoft WGLib 1.01 is a completely new product designed to enhance the function- ality and esthetics of Microsoft Visual Basic.

If necessary, please consult a Windows reference for instructions on installing Windows applications. WINCD.ZIP Windows Change Directory by Antero Aalto You propably 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. WINCHESS.ZIP Chess game for Windows. (Version 2.X) WINCHR10.ZIP [$6.95] by Richard L. Jack Tables of OEM and ANSI characters used in Windows. WINCLI.ZIP [$35.00] WinCLI by Eschalon Development Inc. [76625,1320] 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 KBytes 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, a nd much, much more! WINCLK31.ZIP WinClock is a digital clock for Microsoft Windows 3.0 that has the following features: - Display of time and date in many different formats - Ten alarms (which can be set for daily or only a specified date) - Run Program Timer (ability to run programs at specified times) - Optional hourly "beep" - Allows user to set date and time easily - Optionally stays in front of other applications - "Remembers" its position on the screen - Two stopwatches - Two countdown timers - Colon separating hours and minutes may be set to "blink" - Context sensitive help - Direct Screen saver compatibility (Auto detect active screen saver) - "Cascade" and "Tile" compatibility WINCLP.ZIP Lets non-Windows apps read the Clipboard!

WINCLP12.ZIP [$15.00] 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.ZIP [$3.00] Windows Command game by Tim Baldwin [72240, 3372] This is my first published Windows application.

I need feedback to fix my boo-boos! 5-91 WINCMD09.ZIP [$20.00] WINCMD the Windows Command Line Interpreter 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. Because this is a *PRE-RELEASE* version, not all of the functions are complete at this time. 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. 11-91 WINCRON.ZIP [$20.00] WinCron by Mark L. Woodward The WinCron program allows you to execute system backups, long printing jobs, or time consuming tasks long after you have left for the day. Put simply, WinCron is an alarm clock that runs programs. WinCron also provides a clock icon that displays the current time. One of the more helpful features of WinCron is that it does not matter if the computer is turned off between event schedules. The schedule is always saved. As long as the computer is on either at the time of an event or after it, the event will run. WINDATE.ZIP Datest 1.0 by Mark Jones Test DATE.DLL integrity.

Version 1.1 is still a preliminary BETA release distributed as FREEWARE. If you find this software useful, you may complete the registration form and send in $5 to receive the shareware release at no additional charge. WinDEX is a Win3 application that allows any one of 6 standard DOS processes to be executed in the background with results of the execution reported in WinDEX.

WINFONT.ZIP 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.

WINTIDE.ZIP WinTide 1.1 by Henry Gross [72037,3654] WinTide is a linear tide clock for Windows 3.0 that let's you estimate the present or predicted relative tide height, and the times of the next 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.

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.

If you make DOS work hard, and tune the hardware for optimum operation, you begin to achieve a SuperSYSTEM. Here are some ways to make Windows 3.1 and DOS 5 work together toward a solid, stable operating system. Text file as distributed to the attendees of the Atlanta WINDOWS Special Interest Group (SIG).

(MS) =================================================== Published as part of WINDOWS Night Number One, January 28, 1992 Windows Operational Setup Tips and Hints by Mark Strelecki, A.C.P. There are a few tips you can use in getting your system up to speed with Windows 3. As with any DOS app, fine tuning of the operating environment is essential to maximized performance from your particular computer system. Let's take a look at t he first two areas of concern: the DOS system configuration files, CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. 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 some kind of improvement in performance. Run "CHKDSK *.*" from DOS to check for lost clusters and fragmented files. Occasionally run it with the /F (Fix) parameter, or as often as needed. See the description for AUTOEXEC .BAT, below. To reduce UAEs and provide better performance, make sure your files equal or exceed the settings shown here. DOS 5 is used for the example. CONFIG.SYS rem DOS 5.0 example rem In CONFIG.SYS, the REM command ignores that line rem Minimum Components should include the following: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS FILES=50 rem Use next line if ANY disk cache is loaded BUFFERS=15 rem Without disk cache, use BUFFERS=40 rem Following for 386+ systems NOT using other memory management software DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS rem Following for SmartDrive disk cache rem 4 MB systems DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS 1024 1024 rem 8 MB systems should use DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS 2048 2048 rem Systems above 8 MB may use up to 25% system RAM for SmartDrive rem Expand the environment size - Windows needs this ... SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P /E:2048 rem If using DOS 5 (and you SHOULD be): DOS=HIGH rem On a 386+ use DOS=HIGH,UMB rem Sequence of Commands may be significant in DOS versions prior to 5.00 AUTOEXEC.BAT rem AUTOEXEC.BAT file for Windows use on DOS 5.00 rem by Mark Strelecki rem Set the Path and Prompt - yours will/may vary by personal preference rem Make certain that the Path variable includes the Windows directory PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\UTILS; PROMPT [$P]$G rem Set the TEMP variable, and any others needed SET TEMP=C:\ rem Use CHKDSK to check disk and file integrity, *.* checks all files for rem fragmentation CHKDSK *.* rem Use the VERIFY option to ensure disk writes are good VERIFY ON rem After the system configuration files are set up, then follow these guidelines: 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. Windows defaults to a VGA resolution of only 640x480 at Setup 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 (always done from there) and then change to a higher resolution video driver. Setup tends to choke while doing this under version 3.0. 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 3.00A of Windows. Check your version by using the Help, About menu selection in Program Manager. The upgrade is obtainable by calling Microsoft's Product Support line. Version 3.1 should be generally available sometime in April, 1992. Running DOS apps in Windows All DOS programs 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 epecified in the command line for your icons, not the .EXE filename. Check Help from the PIFEDIT program for additional details. PIF Settings 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 Use PIFEDIT.EXE to edit Program Information Files. Also, 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. Modes of Operation Windows 3.0 runs in 3 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 3.0 runs fastest in its Real mode, but will not allow you to exploit the capability of your machine in that mode. Many applications (like Excel) do NOT run in Real Mode. Standard mode is the best compromise at system throughput and power, while 386 Enhanced mode is just that - Enhanced. It 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. 386 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.
