How to Navigate WinOnLine™ Publications

The Windows Help system is used by our magazines. It's a convenient way to view Hypertext files like the WinOnLine magazine you are reading now. Before you read/load the magazine or now, "turn on your sound/speakers". Our magazines contain both sound and animations. Here are a few additional tips to make your reading more pleasurable and convenient:

The Help Button Bar at the top is arranged to help you move easily through the magazine:

The Contents button, when clicked, will return you to our Table of Contents

Search starts a dialog box with all the keywords that can refer to different sections and articles in the magazine. Try it and see.

History displays a listing of the places in the magazine you have been so you can return

Print Topic will send the article you are currently reading to the printer. It will not print "popup" boxes, though.

<<Page | Page>> can perhaps be the best way to view WinOnLine Publications. With these buttons you can browse through the magazine in page order, just as you would a paper magazine.

You may use the keyboard Page Up, Page Down and Up and Down Arrow keys to forward and backward in an article, or use mouse clicks on the vertical bar shown on the right.

Our Table of Contents has an icon above each article title. Clicking on that button sends you directly to that article just like clicking on the special button brought this message to you.

The automatic Pop-Ups throughout the issue can be cleared from view by a simple mouse click anywhere on the screen. You will find that some may have a special bit of text that, when clicked, will take you even further to another page, function or popup. Using the Back button will always return you to where you have been.

Certain bits of text may have a different color and an underline image. Those usually also indicate that clicking on them will cause something to happen. Certain graphics, such as the authors' at the close of each article, are keyed to a popup image such as information about the author. When you see your arrow cursor change to a hand, you are on such a spot. Click on this text (see the special color?) to see what happens.

We hope you will enjoy the WinOnLine publication. If you want to print this page as a reference, click on Print Topic on the button bar.

Now click Back on the button bar to resume reading where you left off.

  SHAREWARE AUTHORS BEWARE!

Wolly is on the rampage! He downloaded a record haul of shareware from Windows OnLine for this month's Shareware Briefs. An apalling number were not operational in one way or another. They either crashed and burned, looped into oblivion, wouldn't run or install, or in some way just flunked the user test. Not surprisingly, the majority were version 1.0 of their authors' efforts.

Wolly doesn't give up easy, and gives programs the benefit of every doubt he has, but after a while even he gives up and tosses a program to the byte bucket. Programs always gets a workout on two test machines, neither of which are exotic nor all that similar, just to be sure. Sadly, there are two losers in this situation. First, the poor user who has wasted time and money wrestling with this bit of information highway roadkill, and second, the would-be shareware author who wonders why his offering gathers no shekels.

Authors, please be patient and hold the baby in your lap just a bit longer and enlist some beta testers. If it's an interactive process, ask them to completely remove it from their system and install it from scratch. It will be worth the time. And maybe you'll be able to join the parade of Wolly's All-Stars some month!

click me

Upload your shareware to Windows OnLine and leave a message (Sysop Comment) to our staff and let them know you'd like it considered for a review. Wolly loves to play with new shareware   .   .    .   But only if it works!

Enjoy the issue!


      SHAREWARE BRIEFS

by Wolly

GOLD WAVE

There's gold in them thar waves!

Wolly has been paying particularly close attention to sound utilities ever since Bob put him in charge of WOLRS sounds. Gold Wave is one of the better tools Wolly has seen. It's a digital audio editor, player, and recorder and can load and edit not just WAV files, but PCM, MULAW, ADPCM, VOC, Amiga 8SVX, Sun, NeXT, Matlab formats and display and edit graphs for the left and right channels when the sound is in stereo. A separate window provides the controls and shows a real time oscilloscope with both amplitude and spectral displays available. There's a potful of effects, and the editing methods were quick and easy. Take a look at GLDWAV.ZIP (265K) if you require a heavy-duty sound tool. Registration is as little as $15.00. Now, if Bob will only let me put some of those neat Ren and Stimpy sounds in WOLRS!

CREDIT CARD CALCULATOR

Like shouting BOO! to a chronic hiccougher

One of the modern conveniences and curses mankind has created is the credit card. Nary a person alive has not been bitten by the credit card monster and many never learn the lesson even after being chewed up and spit out by high interest rates. Credit Card Calculator is a freeware program that simply tells you how many months and the amount of interest you'll pay to get the monkey off your back. Once entry and an initial calculation is complete, the arrows will adjust your projected monthly payment up and down with similar sickening results to your interest and payment prison. Thanks to Patrisoft for CCCALC10.ZIP (5K), a freeware consciousness raiser. Perform plastic surgery today and start paying off that forever debt.

WIN CODE

Not a government secret

If you cruise along the Information Highway (the phrase is now more well traveled that the actual cyberspace [another overused phrase] connection) you need Win Code. The ASCII messages are great on the Internet, but to send a file requires a bit more effort. The BINary coded files (EXE, COM, GIF, etc.) need to be converted into ASCII to travel that route. Win Code is the Windows equivalent to UUCODE and UUENCODE, which you might have seen, that converts these files both ways. This great freeware program is fully featured with drag and drop support, smart decoding, EMBL Uucode compatibility, and will support UU, XX or user-defined encoding and decoding. Wolly would go further into the details, but what's the use; you need this program! Download WNCODE22.ZIP (231K) and put it in your Swiss Army Knife subdirectory. And thank George Silva of Snappy_Inc. for his generosity!

CRIBBAGE

Fifteen-two and a pair is four, and the rest don't score

One of Wolly's favorite games is cribbage, so he couldn't pass up this opportunity to try a Windows version. Seems like people are often intimidated by the board and avoid it, but you should know that it is only used to keep score. In fact, you could use a pencil and paper, but it wouldn't be as cool. Asides aside, Wolly liked this version and enjoyed competing with the computer. It beat him the first time (by a lousy three points) but not the second. The usual Microsoft card backs can be selected to make the game more colorful, and three levels of expertise are available. The cribbage-impaired can consider learning the game from this version, since the help file explains the rules clearly, the program prompts you and scores your play, and will even explain its calculations if asked. Have some fun with CRIB101.ZIP, and register it for $15.00.

TIB ICON COLLECTION

For blarney it may be!

Wolly ordinarily doesn't feature icons in this column or even in the new files section. However, both these icons and the story behind them motivated him to make an exception. Starving artist Jason Sweeney created some of the most wonderful examples of icon artistry Wolly has ever seen. Some examples are shown here. Along with the icons comes a story and a request for a donation towards his romantic quest. Wolly can vouch for his artistic talents and will reserve judgment on whether his talents also lean towards spinning yarns. Regardless, take a look at the DLL in TIBCONS.ZIP (31K) and its great icon collection. You'll probably be unable to resist some, and if you do, consider sending our Colorado Artistic Romantic Romeo a donation. Wolly thinks it's an excellent idea, 'cause he'd like to see more!

SKIRMISH

With your mind

Skirmish is one of the more confounding, amusing and fascinating games/exercises Wolly has run across. Essentially, this is the author's first shot at creating a game whose behavior you program yourself. Suffice it to say, Skirmish has a great deal to do with chaos, even more to do with your own efforts at directing individual ships, and is summed up by the author's final statement in his manual: I don't begin to understand this game;  I only wrote it. If you are patient, curious, and slightly mad, check out SKRMSH10.ZIP (67K) and let Wolly know what you think. Registration is $10.00. My favorite is the author's sig in the registration screen: Another pseudo-product from Microscam Shareware "So buggy you might as well have done it yourself".

TRUE TYPE FONTS

This month's selection

   (Alchemy)  ALCHMT.ZIP (25K)

   GARRTT.ZIP (38K)

   MARDIGRA.ZIP (35K)

   (Tengwar-Quenya)   QUENYA11.ZIP (17K)

Read the information accompanying these font files for details about registering.

WORD SEARCH

Desperately Seeking Wolly

A quick glance at the newsstand will show you the popularity of word search puzzles. This program enables you to create your own based on words you select. Various options are available to size the puzzle and define percentages of up, down, diagonal, right to left, etc. placement of your words. If you're not happy with your creation, change the criteria and recreate the puzzle, and now if you're happy, print it. Word Search will throw out any words that are longer than the lesser of your size specifications, although the word would fit diagonally or within the other dimension. One puzzle Wolly made allowed two words laid out in the same direction to share the same beginning letter, a word search faux pas in his estimation. Regardless, WORDSRCH.ZIP (65K) is nicely done and could help in reinforcing spelling lessons, as the author suggests, or for just plain fun. Registration is $15.00.

WIN DETECTIVE

cyberCLUE

Drazof Industries has updated that popular board game of prehistoric and pre-Nintendo days, Clue. Conceptually, they're the same, with nine rooms, six suspects and six weapons entering into the mix, complicating your deductions. The illustrations are nicely done, and a notes screen is available for you to record your observations to aid in the final solution. An autorecord option optionally updates some of that information for you. WDETCT10.ZIP (130K) may be registered for $15.00.

DF LITE

Lite and easy

Easily and quickly make diskette images and save them to disk using DF Lite. As you can see from the illustration, the program's panel is clean and easy to understand. Compare your image to the original or extract a file from the image if need be. WDF140.ZIP (113K) can be registered for $20.00

QUICK LAUNCH

10 . . . 9 . . . It's off! (that was quick)

Simple, but with enough options to satisfy most, Quick Launch joins the crowd of Windows button/tool bars. Up to 80 icons can inhabit the user-defined box that will stay on top, if desired, while opening application after application in its minimized, maximized or normal state. QL2000.ZIP (72K) can act as your Windows shell or act in concert with your choice. Registration is a reasonable $5.00.

NOISE MASTER

Neither noisy nor a master

Here's another pretty decent sound editing program, although it lacks one feature Wolly (and you) need: Undo. Noise Master had some neat effects and some features in its favor, but it was a bit tougher to understand and use than some others we've tried. However, NM201.ZIP (146K) should be considered in your search for your personal sound editing program. Registration is 25 US dollars or 40 dutch guilders.

MAZESS

A-maze-ing

Screen savers are one of the least truly useful and most popular Windows accessories. But they are fun, aren't they?? Mazess takes a sharp turn away from the floating fish and toasters and creates a complicated and colorful maze on your screen, explores the possibilities for solution and then solves it. It really is fascinating to watch (well, you won't be there, will you??) the process of creating the maze, but watching the computer snake around looking for an exit is even more interesting. There is a flock of options for MAZESS.ZIP (48K), which can be registered for $18.00.

CLYSMIC PAPERS

Several programs in one

Clysmic Papers is a variety of programs bundled into one. Its primary purpose is for wallpapering your screen (why isn't it called screenpapering, Wolly wonders aloud??). Included are a drag and drop wallpaper utility, PaperDrop, that allows exactly that: any BMP or RLE file brought to it will become your active wallpaper. Also a part of the package is a normal dialog utility, called Paper, for changing wallpaper, and finally PaperFreshen, a network utility. The final piece of the puzzle is the Clysmic File Manager Extensions. Added to the button bar on File Manager will be a series of semi-useful buttons, including an answer to the question, what about that .EXE file? (did I ask?), a couple wallpaper-oriented features, a mini-file viewer, a file edit loader, a CD ROM disc ejector, an E-Mail button, and a couple exit/reboot Windows options. If you are in 640x480 and use Workgroups for Windows it is likely you won't see most of these options, as they run off your screen. Wolly casts aside the effluvia, and suggests you look at the wallpaper functions of PAPER10.ZIP (81K). Consider registration for $9.95 if it addresses your needs in that department.

      FONT UTILITIES

by Ed Hoffman

Anyone who has Windows on their computer has a variety of fonts. It seems that virtually every word processor or drawing program on the market contains a selection of fonts. Now I don't have anything against fonts, but do we really need as many of these pesky little ditties as these programs want us to add to our systems? I don't think so. Just to see how many fonts I actually used, I went back over a years worth of work and found that in all my documents I had only used eleven different fonts. This being the case I had to ask myself why I had over 175 fonts on my system.

Since I couldn't give myself a good answer, I moved the fonts I don't use to floppies. Having run through this exercise using only the control panel I didn't do as good a job as I could have the first time through. So it took several tries to get everything the way I wanted it. The end result, though satisfactory, left me with the feeling that there should be font utilities that could do this task.

So, off I went looking for the ideal font utilities. The criteria I established for this search were simple, I wanted a utility that was small, fast, cheap, and one that didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. As I expected, the ultimate font utility has yet to be written, so rather than a single utility I found three that met the conditions I established. These are TTFPurge, OK Fonts, and Fontster. Each of these programs is an example of my favorite type of utility: each only does one thing and does it VERY well.

TTFPurge

The TTFPurge program helps weed out the stray pieces of fonts we sometimes leave behind when performing fontal lobotomies on our systems. Generally when unloading unwanted fonts, the tool used is the Fonts Applet in the control panel. This allows the files to be purged when the fonts are removed from Windows font table. But this method is tiresome and monotonous.

The Windows font table is maintained in WIN.INI, and lists the font names and their corresponding *.FOT files. Each *.FOT file has an associated *.TTF file. The TTFPurge program examines the WIN.INI file and builds a list of the file names currently in use. It then checks each *.FOT file in the Windows system directory to see if it is being used. Finally the program builds a list of the file names not in use.

When TTFPurge starts up two list boxes are shown. The box on the left lists the fonts in your Windows font table in alphabetical order. The box on the right shows the file names of the TrueType font files, which are listed in your SYSTEM.INI but not used by your current set up. This includes the random orphaned *.TTF or *.FOT files the program finds. If you simply wanted to check your system, you can then exit from the TTFPurge program after checking these lists. But, if you want to do a Fontectomy to free up space, simply choose the Purge and Exit option from the File menu. These unwanted files are instantly removed.

So, if you often fall prey to the "But maybe I'll need this later" syndrome TTFPurge might just be for you. Since you'll often overlook some fonts you really should delete, this program will help you track down all the errant pieces. And since the TTFPurge program is concerned with hard drive space, it is also a tiny program. The TTFPURGE.EXE only occupies slightly over 11 k and the complete program with all the help files and text files is under 29 k. The file name to look for to get the TTFPurge program is TTFP.EXE.

OK Fonts

The OK Fonts program is yet another gem from George Campbell and OsoSoft In short, this program is a Defective Font Finder. Though there is a seemingly endless array of fonts available in both commercial and shareware variations, some are not without their problems. Some fonts are simply defective. A font may seem all right, but when you try to display or print a particular character, rather than the character you want, you get a Windows crash. This happens all to frequently. In fact, a sizable number of the problems many people have with Windows is actually due to bad fonts on their system.

Until the OKFonts program was created, there really wasn't a way to check for these bad fonts. OKFonts performs the specific tests necessary for you to track down and eliminate bad fonts from your list. According to George: "If you have over 100 installed fonts, at least one of them is going to be defective."

The program tests your fonts by printing every individual character in a font both to the screen and to the printer. This is the only effective way to find bad fonts, since the problem may be in any character. As the test is conducted, the characters appear on the screen, one-at-a-time. At the same time OK Fonts is sending them to the printer, and writing the names of the fonts into a file called OKFONTS.DAT.

The checking process does take approximately a minute and a half per font, but the time is well spent if you have any bad fonts on your system. To use the program you can elect to check all the fonts, or only selected fonts. The program then steps through all the specified fonts. If it finds a bad font it simply stops, or locks up. To find out which font was bad, simply refer to the OKFONTS.DAT file. The last listed file is the culprit.

OK Fonts is a program that works with either TrueType or Adobe fonts. So, if you use either or both these types of fonts, you might also want to run OK Fonts. The file name to look for to get this program is OKFONT.ZIP.

Fontster

If you need a simple printed listing of font samples, the Fontster program might be just what you want. This program prints a tabular list of names and a text sample of each TrueType and Adobe font you select from the main program window.

The program is fast and very easy to use. Simply select the fonts you want to print by clicking on the font name in the list box. Holding the Control key when clicking on the font names allows you to select or de-select multiple fonts. To choose a contiguous block of fonts, depress the Shift key and click on the first and last fonts in the block, just like File Manager.

Fontster also allows you to set up the appearance of your printed list. You can add a title for the top of each printed page as well as select the string of text used to print your sample. You can even select a font for the header and font names from a drop down list. The printed sample is only one line, so the point size of the font will determine the size of the sample.

There are more extensive programs to print font samples, but this program is small, fast and free. So, if you need relatively simple samples of the fonts on your system, The Fontster program may be just what you need. The file name to look for to get this program is FONSTR10.ZIP.

A Bonus Freebie

Finally, a treat for those using the new Word for Window 6.0. The program contains a really nice macro for printing font samples. Go to the MACROS60.DOT and look for the FontSampleGenerator macro. This prints out a complete listing of all your fonts in a nice well-designed format. And best of all this one is free and you already have it if you have Word for Window 6.0.

      MORE CONTROL

by Ed Hoffman

A long time ago, when I first installed Windows 3.0, I was rummaging through the Program Manager to see what this program had installed on my system. Here's where I first encountered the Control Panel. I must admit I expected to see a window with buttons, switches, and dials. Unfortunately though when I opened up the Control Panel, all I found were more icons. So, I poked and prodded around and finally decided that this was a bit over my head and I'd better leave it alone.

Well, since that time, I've added Windows 3.1 and 3.11 and have become a bit less timid with the Control Panel. Plus, I've actually learned how to use this collection of useful little applets. However, I often wondered why Microsoft never added more functionality to this area of Windows. I thought perhaps I was too critical in my evaluation, but evidently someone else also had this same opinion. Hence the impetus for the MoreControl 2.0a program that has earned the right to wear the "Works for Me" award for this issue.

I've used this program for quite sometime and have actually grown to depend on the functionality it offers. So, when a new version was released, I was at the head of the line for an upgrade. I must admit, I wondered what more they could possibly add. Well, I wasn't disappointed. The new version of the MoreControl program blew my socks off...

When you install the program the only indications that something is different are the two small and unobtrusive icons it adds to your control panel. The first icon is for MoreControl and the second is for the CP Add-In program. Once accessed, the MoreControl icon gives you quick and easy access to many of the settings in your WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files that Microsoft seems to have overlooked. The CP Add-In program allows you the option to add additional programs to the control panel.

The basic MoreControl screen contains all the options and selections in a single well-organized window. From this window you can control virtually all the important elements of your Windows system. The option offered here include:

Shell

This option allows you to set your Windows shell. Click this option and the dialog box allows you to specify the program that will act as the Windows shell. If you have a default Windows setup, the default entry shown here and in your SYSTEM.INI is PROGMAN.EXE.

Load

This button allows you to edit the LOAD line in the WIN.INI file. All the programs listed on this line will be started as icons on the desktop when Windows is started.

Run

This button allows you to edit the RUN line in the WIN.INI file. All programs listed on this line will be started as windows when you start Windows.

Task Manager

This option allows you to set the program that is activated when you double click your desktop. The Windows default for this option is TASKMAN.EXE, but should you wish to use another program, this option allows you to change the entry in your SYSTEM.INI file.

Programs

Allows you to edit the program extensions considered to be applications by Windows. Typically these include .BAT, .COM, .EXE, and .PIF files.

Associations

Allows you to edit or modify the program associations list stored in WIN.INI. Associations may be added, edited or deleted direct form this dialog box.

Edit INI File

This dialog box allows you to edit any INI file on your system. When selected, this option activates the Edit INI File program contained within MoreControl. Once active, you simply select the *.INI file you want and edit it directly.

Don't Load

When selected, this option allows you to either load or unload specific applets in the Control Panel. To remove an applet, simply move the applet from the Load listbox to the Don't Load listbox. Then the next time you load the Control Panel, the applet will not be shown. To return the applet to the Control Panel, just reverse this process.

Icon Vertical Spacing

Controls the vertical distance (in pixels) between icons. Essentially the same as the icon spacing control in the desktop dialog, but the spacing control is vertical rather than horizontal.

386Enh Settings

DOS Prompt Exit Instructions. When you start the MS-DOS prompt, a message box appears with instructions on how to exit and switch away from the MS-DOS prompt. If you do not want to see the message, disable this option.

File Manager System Changes. Indicates whether File Manager automatically receives messages each time a non-Windows application creates, renames, or deletes a file.

Local Reboot. Specifies whether you can press CTRL+ALT+DEL to terminate applications that cause a General Protection Fault (GPF) in the 386 enhanced mode.

All VM's Exclusive - If enabled, this setting forces all applications to run in exclusive full-screen mode, overriding other settings in the PIFs.

Help Colors

The settings in this section allow you to set the various colors used by the Windows help engine to display things such as the hypertext links and definitions.

Double Click Height/Width

This option allows you to adjust the specific amount of vertical and horizontal movement of the mouse cursor allowed between clicks for the clicks to be considered a double click.

Menu Show Delay

This option allows you to select the delay between selecting a submenu and Windows displaying it.

Menu Drop Alignment

Determines whether drop-down menus are aligned to the right or the left of the menu command.

Options

Edit INI File. Activating this option installs the Edit INI program as an icon in the control panel.

Windows Setup Icon. Adds the Windows Setup icon to the Control Panel. Then when clicked, SETUP.EXE will run.

Use WIN.INI font settings. This option tells Windows to use the icon title font that has been set in the WIN.INI file.

Use SetFont program. Selecting this option adds SETFONT.EXE to the load line of your WIN.INI file. SetFont is another program furnished with MoreControl. If you are using Program Manager as your shell this option may not work correctly. But if you have another shell such as Sloop Software's CEO: Desktop Manager this program runs fine.

Restart Windows

This option allows you to restart Windows from within the MoreControl program. Most of the options changed with this program will only take effect when Windows is restarted, so this button allows you to perform this task quite easily.

The CP Add-In option, which is also loaded when MoreControl is installed, allows you to add a variety of other programs to the control panel if you wish. For example, I find it more convenient to have the PIF Editor and ATM (Adobe Type Manager) located in the Control Panel. So, by using the CP Add-In option, I can quickly and easily add these icons to the Control Panel. Once these programs are loaded, you can remove the CP Add-In icon from your Control Panel if you wish by using the Don't Load option.

MoreControl 2.0a is one of the more important utilities on my system. In fact, I've come to depend on it as much or more than any other utility. So, if you'd like to have a single utility to help manage your Window housekeeping chores, the MoreControl program may be just what you need. The file name to look for to get the MoreControl 2.0a program is MORECN.ZIP.

      SAFE BOOT

by Ed Hoffman

When was the last time you loaded a piece of shareware and suddenly realized that perhaps you should have thought twice before exposing your system to this programmers' nightmare? You shouldn't feel alone, it's happened to all of us more than once. In these cases the only recourse you have is to ferret out all the little pieces this program has scattered throughout your system. You cannot simply erase the files and directories where this monstrosity installed itself. Doing this gets rid of the base program, but what about the INI's, DAT's, DLL's and other files this program has hidden around your system?

The only surefire way to save yourself from this situation is to have a program like UN4WIN (WOLRS20) or NU STUFF (WOLRS24) running. These tell you EXACTLY what changes have been made to your system. Assuming you've not gotten around to loading these superior shareware programs, your next fall back is the current backup of all your important files. No, this backup will not get rid of the pieces of the bad program you inadvertently loaded. But it will allow you to set your machine back the way it was before you loaded the questionable program. Then none of these nasty files will be referenced in your important INI's. You can then find and delete the extraneous files at your leisure.

Now, there are several ways you can make copies of your important INI's. The most direct way is to simply copy them to a separate subdirectory. But, if you're like me and tend to be a bit on the lazy side, you could use the SafeBoot 1.3 program. SafeBoot 1.3 provides a quick and automatic backup of critical files when Windows starts correctly.

If you are performance tuning your system, playing around with different settings, loading new software, or you just want to be sure you have a minimum backup, you will be glad you have SafeBoot if Windows won't start. This program is not intended to replace regular backups of your hard disk. But it will help to make sure you have a backup that will run Windows.

The program is designed to run from the Windows STARTUP group. So each time you start Windows, (indicating a good boot) backup copies of the critical files are saved. The program defaults to the C:\SAFEBOOT\BACKUPS directory it creates during the installation process. You can also run SafeBoot from its icon. But, a word of caution: Make sure you run the SafeBoot program before changing any files, not after. All the files listed in SAFEBOOT.INI are automatically selected when the program starts. Simply select the Backup button to make the copies. A Restore button is also provided to copy these files from the backup directory to their respective locations if the need arises.

When running the program you also have the option of setting three command line parameters. These allow you to automate the way the program runs. These switches are:

/A - Auto Mode - This is used when SAFEBOOT.EXE is placed in your Program Manager STARTUP group.

/S - Scan - Used along with the /A switch to scan your Windows directory and automatically include any new files in the backup.

/X - Exit - When run from the SafeBoot icon, the program will terminate automatically when the backup process is completed.

This version of SafeBoot now includes a scan feature. By pressing the Scan button or by using the /S switch, SafeBoot will scan your Windows directory for any files that end with INI or CFG. You will be given the option to include them in the current backup. If selected, these will be added to the current backup list where you can review them. You can also modify SAFEBOOT.INI to include these files in regular backups. The SAFEBOOT.INI file can also be manually edited to include any additional files you desire.

The SafeBoot 1.3 version reviewed here is the registered version. The shareware version is 1.2. When using the shareware version, you have full functionality for 20 days. After the trial period expires, SafeBoot will cease running and will display a notice encouraging you to register the program. If this happens, the files backed up before the program quits are safe and will remain as they were when SafeBoot quit.

The registered version of SafeBoot also has an Archive and UnArchive option. With these you can select a disk and directory to permanently store your configuration files. Just select the files you want to archive and press the Archive button. You can place these files on floppies, or another area of your hard drive. The RESTORE.BAT file is also stored in the same place as the data files.

This program, like programs of similar intent, is not a replacement for practicing Safe Computing. When you run your computer, always have your important files backed up and placed in a safe place. Paranoia is a good trait for computer users. I, for example, have one copy of these files on my hard drive (in a special subdirectory) and 3 copies on floppies. Remember, the three rules for using a computer are BACKUP, BACKUP, and BACKUP. So, rather than wishing you'd made copies of your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, or Windows.INI files after it's too late, SafeBoot may save you from yourself.

      WAVE RIDER

by Louis Turbeville

Electronic Mail is making the world smaller and smarter each day. Hundreds of conferences with topics from germane to mundane generate thousands upon thousands of messages each day. An off-line mail reader, formerly just a convenience, has become a necessity. You could not otherwise enjoy the fun, news and help that the world of E-mail can bring to your door every day.

Most boards now use off-line mail utilities that conveniently bundle up selected messages for users to read off-line at their leisure, freeing up telephone lines more quickly and cutting phone expenses. One of the most popular Windows mail readers has been WinQwk. When the author lost his source code, WinQwk development came to a screeching halt, disappointing many loyal users. An entirely new, "next generation" program was released by Doug Crocker in January 1994, named Wave Rider. This new mail reader feels enough like WinQwk to make most current users feel at home, but is far ahead in features. Wave Rider can be used with BBS mail utilities that use either the Q-Mail or Blue Wave mail packet format.

Setup is fairly easy, even though no setup or installation file is included to automate the process. The only problem you will probably encounter if you just want to install the program and run, is with the WRUZ.EXE program. This included utility is used as the default for the internal packing and unpacking ZIPed files without running PKZIP. Using WRUZ is not vital to the program operation, but it makes the unpacking process much smoother since it is a Windows program, not a DOS program.

Wave Rider comes with the basic features and functions you'd expect of a mail reader, like quoting a message, taglines (registered version), replying to or saving a message, etc. There are a few features offered by Wave Rider that sets it apart from many mail readers.

A convenient feature for beginners, which more windows programs should have, is the explanation of a button's action in the status bar (lower portion of the window). As you move your cursor over the icons on the screen, a brief description of its function is displayed in the status bar. This allows you to quickly explore many program functions without having to worry if clicking on an icon will delete your message or do something equally awful.

The spell checker, which performs adequately, is another feature that many new users will appreciate. If you have specialized needs you may use an external spell checker.

Power users will also find additional features to exploit. All function keys and hot-keys in the program can be redefined to suit your preferences. You can choose which buttons to use in the tool bar or tool box and what functions you want those buttons to perform. Display either the tool bar, tool box or both, and size the icons to small, medium or large. By registering, you can fully utilize the tag line option in the program; the only disabled feature. If you become a registered user, you may become a beta tester if you choose, and have an active role in the direction of your new program.

A motivator to purchase any program is product support. Though there is no voice support for the program, the author and his wife are very accessible through e-mail. There are several ways to communicate with them: Crystal Cavern BBS (206-883-8477), Compuserve (72254,3143), FidoNet (1:343/105) Windows or Offline echos, or RIME Windows or Offline Reader conferences. While reviewing this program, I noticed that Doug or Sue Crocker replied to user (registered and non-registered/trial users) questions daily on RIME.

While I liked WaveRider a great deal, there are improvements I'd like to see. To use it comfortably you must work in full screen mode, or parts of the message may scroll off the screen, unless you choose a smaller font for that occasion. The program also does not display the date and time of files when opening a mail packet. If you download mail daily without reading it right away, you could have trouble determining which is the oldest file to read first.

Wave rider is fairly easy to use, yet powerful and customizable. While it is a completely new program, a generous upgrade offer is available for registered WinQwk users. If you currently do not use an off-line mail reader or haven't quite found one you like, I recommend you give Wave Rider a try.

Wave Rider

$50.00/$55.00 (cash/credit card)

WinQwk upgrade:

$15.00/$16.50  (cash/credit card)

      FONTSPEC PRO

by David Morgan

We all want to get the most out of what we have and our computers are no exception. When it comes to getting the most out of Windows, one goal is to maximize system resources. There are certain tried and true things we can do to accomplish this. One is lowering the video resolution and color depth to 640 x 480 x 16. Another is eliminating unnecessary and redundant groups and icons in Program Manager. Still another is removing all unused installed fonts.

With the abundance and easy availability of true type fonts, it doesn't take very long to get carried away loading every new true type font we come across.  However, each loaded font uses valuable memory and system resources. The key to using fonts efficiently is loading only those fonts you need when you need them. This is where font management programs can help.

FontSpec Pro is one such program. It is actually three easy-to-use utilities: a font viewer, a font printing utility and a font manager. Each provides a very simple way to get a handle on your fonts. The viewer displays installed fonts in several formats including user-definable text. The print utility lets you print in a multitude of formats and page layouts. The font manager installs, uninstalls and deletes fonts. It lets you preview a font before installing it. It also lets you create font groups and herein lies the key to efficient font use.

A moveable tool bar provides quick access to all three FontSpec Pro utilities. Each can be launched separately and all will run at the same time.

The Font Viewer lets you display installed fonts in many different ways. View text as a short phrase, the character set, or as a paragraph formatted to center, right or left margin. Create two sets of user-defined text for displaying whatever you want. Show just one font or several at a time.

FontSpec Pro gives you many options when it comes to printing out font specimen sheets. Print installed or uninstalled fonts in bold, italic, underlined or all capital letters. You control the page layout, the sample text content, the print styles and the font point size.

There are four different sheet styles or page layouts from which to choose.

The Single Column Sheet prints your specimens one to a line across the page.

The Two-Column Sheet (the default) prints the maximum number of fonts on a page.

The Full Sheet style prints sample paragraphs, the standard character set in normal and italics, and a one line sample in every size from 6 to 72 points.

The Character Set style sheet prints the font name in the selected style followed by the entire printable character set (ASCII 32 to 255).

Add your own header and footer text. FontSpec Pro also lets you enter your own text for printing two user-defined font specimens.

The Font Manager provides basic handling of font installation and removal. Remove and delete any font you don't want, whether or not it is installed. You may view fonts before you install them and then organize selections into font groups. Font groups are collections or sets of fonts that can be loaded and unloaded independently of whatever fonts are currently active. By organizing your fonts into groups, you can load only those fonts you need. Remember, removing used fonts will increase available system resources.

Creating font groups is easy. Simply select the fonts you want, name the group and press the install button. The fonts will then install without Windows restarting. FontSpec Pro will save all of your currently installed fonts before creating your first font group. At any time, you can restore the original fonts.

Setup is easy using the supplied installation program. Help is displayed as the mouse cursor moves over a given option. Windows OnLine members may download FontSpec Pro as FSP530.zip.

      SLOT MACHINES

by Randy Wong

I need to take a break today! Personally, I play games in my spare time. The best and most relaxing games for me are simple casino type games. I like to gamble, but I do not like to lose. In this case, I do not need to stimulate my brain, just have fun and a little excitement to stir me up for the rest of the day. For me, nothing does it better than the good old slot machine: the one arm bandit. You do not need any great skills to play. All you need is to have Lady Luck on your side. Win Slot is the classic slot machine, with the normal bells, cherries and other fruits. Dino Slot was designed for kids with a curious mind.

Win Slot displays a very good 3-D animated graphic of a slot machine. Digitized sound is optional, to enhance the playing action. Its digital readout makes the machine realistic, imitating the ones found in the gambling houses. Playing this slot machine is very straight forward. Leaving the default settings on the spinning wheel, the game simulates a real slot machine in odds against winnings. You can play on a single line, costing you only a quarter. Adding more quarters, up to five (5), you increase the chance of winning. Chancing two quarters, 50 cents, you get to win on two lines. With three quarters, 75 cents, you get all three displaying lines to play with. Now the fun part: add a few more quarters and start winning (or losing) diagonally. The best winning odds, is to play five quarters, $1.25, for five different ways to win. You may lose fast, but you may win fast. A wheel editor and a payoff editor are included for manipulating the chances and winnings of the game. Both are Drag 'N Drop for easy actions. You are limited to four changes in the non-registered version. For those gamblers that normally take two or more machines to play at once, you are out of luck. You can only start one Win Slot application at a time.

Dino Slot follows the lead of Win Slot, as a slot machine game. It was designed for kids, but then, we are still kids in spirit, aren't we? This machine also has animated 3-D graphics, but differs by using the images of dinosaurs instead of the usual fruit. Digital sounds of animals enhances the effects of playing, transporting you back into prehistoric times. This playing field puts you back into prehistoric times. Using a wooden handle and rock rings for money, it is definitely time to put on your Flintstone outfit to play. You can insert one to five stone rings for the various chances of winning. The number of rings increases your odds the same as the regular slot machine described above. A wheel editor and a payoff editor are included for manipulating the chances and winnings of the game. Both are Drag 'N Drop for easy usage. You are limited to four changes in the non-registered version. Dino Slot includes a very special Dino Quiz feature. Playing this question and answer game you can increase your knowledge of dinosaurs as well as receive additional stone rings with every correct answer. On a registered version, you are provided with more questions.

 Even though, I like the regular play of Win Slot, I was intrigued with the action from Dino Slot. For me, the sound has a major function in setting my mood. By using the wheel editor, it is possible to create a sure winner. Both are fun to play and has provided me with hours of entertainment. While Win Slot is for the kid that wants to look and play normal, Dino Slot is for the kid that is perhaps more wild at heart. In my case, I am keeping both.

Windows 3.1 and higher is required. A sound card or the PC speaker device is recommended for enhancing the senses. Plus, a wild and lucky user that is willing to pull the handle. How is your luck today?

Members of Windows OnLine will find Win Slot for Windows as WSLOT210.ZIP and Dino Slot for Windows as DS101.ZIP.

Win Slot™  2.10 Registration Fee is $10.95 add $4.00 for optional disk		Dino Slot™  1.01 Registration Fee is $13.95 add $4.00 for optional disk

CD Players
      CD PLAYERS     [image] b

by Steven Jay Cohen

O.K. You've just installed your brand new CD ROM player that came with a fabulous package of four "free" CDs, three of which you have no use for. It's going to be awhile before you can afford to purchase the software CDs you really have your eye on, so in the meantime you'd at least like to listen to some music while you work in Windows. Remembering that the accompanying software was supposed to include a "Music CD Player", you slip your current favorite CD into the player and proceed to look for the music player that was supposed to have been automatically installed.

"Ah! There it is!" You find the icon in your newly established group that calls your CD player to the fore. You double click and..... "Gee.... is that all there is?" you say to yourself as a small toolbar with five familiar looking buttons appears on your desktop.

Yes, it plays. It even has Fast Forward (jump to the next track) and Fast Backward (jump to the preceding track), but that's really all there is. Bummer!

You don't have to settle for such a meager offering. After scrutinizing a dozen of the most recently released shareware CD players, I can tell you that there are several that provide a full compliment of options for the budding Windows CD audiophile. Highlighted here are four solid representatives from the bunch, each with an increasing level of complexity and number of features. One of these is bound to meet your needs.

In case you find yourself wondering about some of the track titles you'll see in the upcoming screen captures, I'll tell you where they come from. During the running and testing of these players I chose to play the Disney CD, "For Our Children", an entertaining compilation of children's songs performed by some very well known artists to benefit the Pediatric Aids Foundation. (I'm not really sure why I picked this CD.) It definitely brought a smile to hear particular selections by some of these artists. Bob Dylan sure sounds funny singing, "This Old Man".  - Interesting match of voice to music!

Bob's CD Player 2.0

If you're in search of something minimal, but attractive and adequate, Bob's CD Player may be just what you're looking for. Presenting a compact interface, this CD player has "stay-on-top" capability and sports several features which place it a couple of steps above the absolute basics. The fast forward and fast backward buttons will cue the disc 20 seconds in either direction and the track display remains visible when the player is iconized.

Options not found on the button bar are accessed by way of the system menu. For those of you that may need a refresher, the system menu is the one that appears when you click on the button at the top-most, left-hand corner of the program window ( [image] ). Extras in this CD player include the Continuous Play, Repeat Play, Shuffle/Random Play, Auto Play, and Disable Status Checking functions.

Most of these are obvious except, perhaps, the Disable Status Checking feature. BCDP normally checks with the Windows (MCI) CD Audio driver every second to get the status of the drive. Because some CD-ROM drives are slow to respond, this status check may seriously slow the system. Choosing this option, and minimizing BCDP when playing CDs will disable that process, and a static icon will appear over the usual track display. When restored from an icon, it will resume the status checks. The state of this and several other menu items are saved in an .INI file when you close the program.

CD Player for Windows 2.32

A few rungs higher on the ladder of complexity, CD Player for Windows 2.32 contains a well-rounded array of features. It supports stereo, if your card is capable, and also contains a database to catalogue and store pertinent disc information. This database has an interesting import/export feature which permits the sharing and merging of information with others who run this player. A small beginning database is included with the Player.

CD Player has three display sizes, not counting the iconized state. The smallest displays only the player status and buttons. Pictured above is the middle-sized, full panel display. The largest size includes an "oscilloscope" display at the bottom which, frankly, would not work for me. The documentation contains a "qualifier" which states that the working of the oscilloscope depends on your sound card and your video. (I'm running PAS-16 and Viper 2MB cards, respectively.)

All of the other usual features are in working order, but on my system, at least, its performance seemed to "pause" more often than many of the others. Regardless, if you happened to have tried out an earlier version and were put off by its resource overhead and Visual Basic requirements, I would encourage you to give it another look. It has been completely re-written and no longer requires VBRUN - a vast improvement over its predecessor. Overall it is a competent package and just may meet your needs.

Mega CD Audio Honker

I like this full-featured CD player. I especially like the humorous irreverence of its name. Its operation is smooth, and all but one of its features worked without a hitch for me. Particularly nice is the status window which displays not only the current and remaining track time, but the current and remaining disc time as well.

Mega CD memorizes and recalls your CD information and is easily programmed to play tracks in any order you choose. If you prefer, the Random Shuffle Play feature will mix them up for you instead. Its self-described Quick Play Song Finder accomplishes the selection of a single title via a drop-down dialogue box.

I encountered only one difficulty with Mega CD. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to make the Quick Slide Song Finder operate properly. This feature is supposed to permit you to slide the indicator to any position in any song and instantly hear that section. Every time I attempted to play a section occurring in the middle of a track, the slide insisted on jumping to either the beginning of the track, or to the beginning of the disc.

This is a straightforward package that delivers the goods - one you should definitely consider when shopping for a CD audio player.

CD Wizzard 2.0

Probably best known for WinTrek, the excellent shareware Star Trek game for Windows, Brett and Laura McDonald have just released a new version of the CD Wizzard. "Happy" may well be the adjective that best describes the Wizzard. It is designed to be as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear. Let's face it - a CD player can reasonably have only a given number of options and features.. right? WRONG!!! CD Wizzard ably tackles not only all you might expect from a player, but offers a number of "extras" that take full advantage of the technology and of the graphical environment for which it is written.

Looks nice, doesn't it? But what if you don't happen to like the green LED set in the "marbled" look? No problem! CD Wizzard provides several optional finishes, LED, button and text colors, and your text may be embossed or not, as you choose. Other player options include the toggling of stay-on-top capability when iconized, immediate start of play when the program starts and automatic stoppage of play upon program exit. The timer may be set to display time elapsed or remaining for either the track or the disc. When iconized, your chosen LED colors display the track number and the working timer.

This is the only player in the bunch that includes a volume rheostat - nice touch! There are built-in provisions for older CD players and Wizzard can even process a CD signal from a line-in port. Add to these niceties complete cataloguing and recognition capability, access to controls via the system menu, thorough online help and flawless performance - well, you're looking at a CD player that's hard to top.

In Closing........

As you can see, there's quite a cornucopia of choices. The beauty of it is that they are all shareware and that you are free to download and evaluate each before deciding which one to keep. I would encourage you to take a look at all of these. I'm sure that one of them will meet your needs. Once you've made your decision, be sure to register the software. For the benefit of all users, it's up to each of us to honor and further the shareware tradition by sending the author his or her just due.

Windows Command Line
      WINDOWS COMMAND LINE     [image] b

by Bob Gollihur

As much as I am used to Windows and its advantages, there are some tasks that are simply more easily performed from a DOS prompt. However, the phrase "dropping to DOS" can be taken quite literally as a downward movement, and if you wish for an alternative, Windows Command Line (WCL) is that and much more.

Rather than dealing with a clunky and limited "true DOS" windows, Windows Command Line provides exactly that, as can be seen in the title graphic. Internal DOS commands cannot be run, but substitute, similar commands are available through Windows Command Line: CD or CHDIR, MD or MKDIR, RD or RMDIR, DEL or ERASE, REN or RENAME, COPY, TIME, DATE, SET, PROMPT, TYPE or MORE, PRINT, and DIR. In most cases these behave as the full DOS command would, although there are a few limitations.

Windows Command Line also acts as a direct conduit to any other program you might run through Windows; no need for a FILE/RUN command, just pretend you're in DOS and fire away. External DOS commands can, of course, also be run from WCL. However, they come with the usual warning to avoid true DOS programs you would never run from within Windows, such as CHKDSK.

Two versions of Windows Command Line are provided to accommodate your personal preference. In the first, a small window (shown at the top of this article) resides on your desktop for instant use. When the response to your command results in a lengthy message, a separate window opens and displays the results in digestible pieces, such as shown on the right. This larger window disappears after it has delivered its information. The second version is run as a single, large window that looks and feels more like that familiar DOS window, and can be sized and really feels like a DOS window should feel. If you'd like, both versions can be run concurrently.

To view Windows Command Line as only a DOS imitator would be a mistake. Besides that function, you can take advantage of several other hidden features:

Unix-like commands for those used to that syntax.

Three special commands, one of which lists all current, active processes and their process numbers. The other two will rename the process or kill it.

Key assignments, similar to DOSKEY

Command Recall, with a double exclamation point (!!) immediately executing the last command. One exclamation point (!) generates a numbered list of the last twenty commands for a quick choice and execution.

Batch files may be created and then executed using WCL. However, their execution order cannot be relied upon.

Help is available much as you would see it in later versions of DOS, such as DIR /? returning options available for use

Redirection is available, and what a wonderful feeling it is to be able to quickly get hardcopy of directory contents with a DIR > LPT1

Aliases may be defined that will allow quick movement to a directory, such as defining your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as "SYS". The command GOTO SYS will deliver you there in an instant.

The Help file lists clever surprise after surprise within this program and is full of useful specialized WCL commands. For instance, BACKINI will write duplicate copies of WIN.INI and SYS.INI with .WCL extensions. PLAY followed by a .WAV filename will play that file provided you have sound support. TYPEWRITE will continue to send your keyed lines of text to your printer until terminated. There are far too many to list, and I recommend you experience the program yourself.

Windows Command Line is a system that runs far deeper than you would first imagine, and can be very useful in so many ways. Are you one of the many who find themselves immersed in DOS at your archaic workplace during the day and exclusively within Windows on your home machine? WCL will provide a convenient bridge between the two worlds without "dropping to DOS".

The author has continued to update his releases and improve his program over the last few months that I have monitored it, and I have enjoyed corresponding with him. Dr. Abimbola A. Olowofoyeku tags his Internet correspondence with "The African Chief" and "All opinions are not personal and do reflect the views of the whole world." The Chief is definitely on my list of people I'd like to meet on the trip around the world I will take after I win the lottery.

Do you like to test shareware programs? Do you enjoy sharing your adventures with the latest Windows hardware and software?

All is required is that you possess a general knowledge of Windows shareware and commercial products, and have the ability to relate your experiences in a friendly and informative fashion. You don't need to be conversant with the Help File format.
