Each alarm can be set to go off every day, every two weeks, Monday and Wednesday of every third week, every month, once a year, etc. You can even set a "snooze", too. Optionally, you can set an alarm to run a specific application instead of just displaying a message. This allows you to run programs unattended (e.g., late-night backups or print jobs). Wallpaper Aligner (freeware, $5.00 suggested) This handy Windows 95 Control Panel extension allows you to move your wallpaper anywhere on the screen. Windows 95 only lets you center or tile it. Aligner lets you align your wallpaper to the left, top, bottom, right, or set a custom coordinate. Fireworks for Windows 95 (freeware, $5.00 suggested) Specially updated for Windows 95, this is a Windows screen saver that simulates launching and exploding fireworks. It is *extremely* configurable. If you can think of a parameter, you can adjust it. It is available on a number of bulletin boards or with your order, by request. LS ($5.00) This is a DOS application that mimics the UNIX 'ls' command. If you've ever wished DOS would use commas to display a file size of 1843993, then LS is for you! * Windows 3.x or later * Alarm 2.30 ($10.00, upgrade from version 2.x: $5.00) This is a desktop utility that allows a user to set multiple alarms. Each alarm can be set to go off every day, every two weeks, Monday and Wednesday of every third week, every month, once a year, etc. You can even set a "snooze", too. Optionally, you can set an alarm to run a specific application instead of just displaying a message. This allows you to run programs unattended (e.g., late-night backups or print jobs). Fireworks (freeware, $5.00 suggested) [ Windows 95 & 3.x or later ] This is a Windows screen saver that simulates launching and exploding fireworks. It is *extremely* configurable. If you can think of a parameter, you can adjust it. Enhancements over the 16-bit version include multithreading (for increased performance) and property pages for the settings (for increased readability). It is available on a number of bulletin boards or with your order, by request. Instant Task ($5.00) [ Windows 3.x or later ] This is a utility application that allows the user to quickly switch from one application to another without requiring them to load the Task Switcher that comes with Microsoft Windows. Fractal ($10.00) [ Windows 3.x or later ] This is an application that generates colorful bitmaps of regions of the Mandelbrot set. This is a type of fractal, described by "chaos" theory as a self-similar shape. A coastline is a good example -- as you look closer and closer, there are still bays, inlets, etc. in interesting patterns. You tell it what to draw and what colors to use. The results can be used as captivating wallpaper for Microsoft Windows. Ender ($5.00) [ Windows 3.x ] This is a tool for advanced users or for software developers who need to forceably terminate applications or libraries (e.g., in the case of a software error such as an infinite loop or hang). WinExit ($5.00 or free with any order) [ Windows 3.x or later ] This is a tool that will quickly exit Microsoft Windows for you or will restart Microsoft Windows, depending on whether or not an argument is passed on the command line. This avoids having to select File-ExitWindows, double-clicking the system menu, or selecting System-Close and pressing the OK button. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please add shipping and handling according to the following schedule: 1-3 products: $5 4 or more products: $10 If you decide that you enjoy one or more of our applications and plan to continue using it, we ask that you register the application.
