RandScrn Randomize your Windows 3.1 screen savers. Comes with several new savers, including Random Rectangles, Random Pixels, Bouncing lines, Laser Show, and Circles. Print Switch The Print Switch program allows those users that have a Hewlett Packard laser printer with a postscript cartridge to switch easily back and forth between HPPCL mode and postscript mode. EndPrint EndPrint automatically closes the Print Manager when the Print Manager is done printing; it can alert you with several short beeps at the same time. Pos Pos displays the mouse cursor position in relation to the screen (screen coordinates) and in relation to the window which has the input focus. Pos makes a good addition to the Windows Software Development Kit and is also useful when selecting monitor resolutions. It was originally developed to allow the user to move the mouse cursor to screen positions ahead of time. In addition, Pos can display the dimensions of a window. Mem Mem can display the amount of memory free, the largest block of memory free, the percent of system resources free, and/or the amount of disk space free on drives that you select. Mem can sound an alarm when the disk space, free memory, or percent of system resources free goes below amounts that you specify (a different amount may be specified for each disk drive). SaveSet SaveSet allows you to cause the "Save Settings" Check Box that appears when you exit Windows to be automatically un-checked or checked. ChCursor If you find that you sometimes lose track of the mouse cursor on the screen, ChangeCursor will allow you to press the right mouse button to highlight the cursor. Other features include the ability to position the cursor in the center of the screen with a click of the right mouse button, and the ability to hide the cursor when you start typing and then have it displayed again when the mouse is moved. IconCalc A full-function calculator in an icon! Lock Lock is a keyboard lock and screen saver. It will automatically lock the keyboard after a certain time. Click Click will produce a keyboard "click". This is especially useful to those users who have used a keyboard click for DOS but have been unable to find one for MS Windows. The duration and pitch of the click may be easily changed by the user. NewSpy Spy allows those users that do not have the Windows SDK to see what messages are being sent to a window. This is very useful both for programmers and for users that want to know more about Windows. Games ----- Hop The only computer Hop-Over puzzle. Hop is a short form of Chinese Checkers.

This is very convenient for finding and deleting "*.BAK". ShowDirs ShowDirs displays directories on your system that match the one specified. It can search a single drive or an entire system. Mem Mem displays the amount of conventional memory in your computer and the amount free. It displays information about extended memory if you have it in your computer.
