Dear customer, thank you for trying out UZEvProf from UZful Software! UZEvProf is a MS-Windows Event Profiler, which lets you statistically examine the number of events posted to each running application. This utility immediately illuminates the hidden costs of each program executing on your computer, and gives a partial answer to the question: why is the computer running so slow? Windows events are normally generated and dispatched from each Windows application to cause it to do work. When too many events are generated by an application (specially, if it's relatively unimportant), the computer has to spend time to handle each of them, thus leaving less time to do other (perhaps more important) tasks. In the first minute of using this tool, we found out that the MSDOS window produces upto 200 events per second (every 5 milliseconds!) even when sitting idle in the background (when you enable the background tasking option in its Settings; turning off this option made it behave properly in this respect). You should first verify that the distribution you received matches the checksum advertised on your distribution channel (bulletin board, shareware distributor, FTP site, Usenet group, ...) to avoid acquiring viruses. If you are not sure, contact UZful Software directly for a copy of the software. Then, look at these files in order to get UZEvProf properly installed on your system: packing.lst list of files that should be provided with this distribution. The file is PGP-certified against corruption (you should verify the certification) and contains checksums (for the Unix sum command) for each file.
