Just Released!  Novell Netware Edition of Space Hound

Space Hound features:

The overall mission of the program is to sniff out   wasted space on your hard disk that is duplicated, obsolete, and simply forgotten.  The freely distributable shareware version has this as it's primary goal.  The Pro  version adds additional  functionality for dealing with what is found.

Directory Map:  Similar to the Windows File Manager in appearance, its main purpose is to provide a convenient method of evaluating disk storage usage within the directory plus the combined storage of all nested levels below.

Extensions Display:  An organizational tool which allows you to group all files which share the same file extension name.

Duplicates Display:  Allows for searches over one or more physical disk volumes for duplicate files. You may search for exact duplicates  or only matching file names.

Files Display:  Allows for search accross multiple disk volumes for multiple file pattern mask.

From these basic displays, you have a number of additional mini-functions available from each display.

Common functions available from all displays Include:

  Hard copy reports of complete or just partial information.

  Files can be compared at the bit-level.

  Version and file identification information extraction

  Files may be deleted from the hard disk utilizing any display

  Files may be copied or moved from any display

Specific functions of the Directory Map Display include:

  Printable Directory Map may be started at any level, not just root

  Storage totals at each directory plus nested sub directories

  File counts for each directory plus nested sub directories in the printed report

  Displays can be saved and later reloaded for further evaluation and action

Specific functions of the Extensions Display include:

  Collects all extension types in a single pass

  Printed report  including all extensions or a single extension only

  Storage totals and file counts by extension

Specific functions of the Duplicates Display include:

  3 distinct duplicate search functions

  1. Search for duplicate names.  This is useful for finding files which have the same name but are different in size such as a DLL at version 1.0 and a DLL at version 1.1 might be.

  2. Search for duplicate names that are identical.  This is probably the best search to run first because it limits the number of duplicate files to those which are truly identical to other files.

  3. Search for duplicate files.  This variation doesn't care what a file is called, it searches using CRC checking to identify duplicates.

  Collects all duplicates in a single pass

  Printed report including all duplicates found or on single duplicate name only

  Storage totals and file counts displayed by duplicate name

  Each search allows for the use of a filter which can limit the search to a set of specific file names or wild card patterns (Example: *.txt or Memo????.*)

Addional functions:

A file viewer with support for over 20 file formats including ASCII, HEX, PCX, TIF, GIF, BMP, WMF, ICON, Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, AMI PRO, xBase, Paradox, Lotus, Excel, ZIP, LZH, Quattro Pro, MetaFiles, Q&A, Windows Write, and Microsoft Works.  (New viewers are added from time to time and support for newer file formats updated as soon as possible.)

  Up to 9 file viewers may be open at a time.  This will aid you in further evaluating the data that has been stored on your computer.   The viewers may be launched via a button on the toolbar or by double clicking on the file from any of Space Hound Pro's program windows that list files.

  Enhanced version control information display for files containing version information .

Information on The Zoo

The Zoo is a place to put those "criters"  that have been complicating your desktop.  A simple and easy to use tab style interface provides a place for distinct groups of related programs or documents where they can be easily found.   See Screen Shot.

The best way to describe The Zoo is to call it a mini-shell.  Unlike other programs which want to totally replace your Windows Program Manager, The Zoo works with Program Manager by allowing you to migrate only some of your existing groups and programs.   This way you un-complicate your desk top without running into the all of those problems generally associated with using replacement shells.         Price: $29.95 plus $2 shipping/Handling ($4 international)

Features

  Up to 40 programs or documents can be placed on a single tab window.

  Up to 40 different tab windows can be created.

  Each tab window can be customized for background color, font syle, fornt color, and launch item arrangment.

  Existing Program Manager group files can be imported

  Plenty of room for program descriptive names

  Contstantly updated source and memory display

  Multiple instances of the program can be used at the same time.  Setup one "Zoo" for frequently used programs and documents, another for the stuff you almost never use but still need to keep.

  Won't be made obsolete by Windows95

The Zoo Example Screen

Forget double clicking, use The Zoo's attractive icon buttons to launch your favorate programs.


First Alert

First Alert isn't something most  of you need.  You don't need it unless you have a business and accept major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

Some of the best programs available today were originally written to solve a problem for the program developer himself.  First Alert is an example of this in action.  I often receive orders via fax machine and on handwritten order forms.  A large percentage of these orders contain credit card account numbers that are difficult to read.  A significant number of my orders come from international customers also and their writting style is different and difficult to decipher  If you've ever received a handwritten fax order where the 7s have slashes, the 9s look like a "g", the 3s and 2s are identical, and the zeros sorta look like 8s  then you are the person this program was written for.

Does it authorize the charge?  No, we all have our own merchant account clearing houses for this purpose, First Alert's job is to eliminate the wasted time and expense of calling in an account number and having it turned down because  you  couldn't read one of the numbers.     See Screen Shot

Extreamly simple and easy to use.  Simply type in the account number, press the enter key and your are immediately informed if the account numbers equal a "legal" credit card account number.  This test is based on a mathimatical algorythum based on a check digit value.  My experience has been that most of the numbers on a particular order are fairly easy to read but there is always one or two that I've got questions about.   By using the probable variations that a particular number might represent,  I've managed a 100% success rate thus far on deciphering the correct account number.  Best of all, it's CHEAP!  Only $10.95 plus $2 shipping/Handling  ($4 international).

Oh Yes... We take Visa, MasterCard, and American Express!  Call 1-800-544-1740 to place your order.

Diskers Information

Diskers' primary goal is to provide an easy to use tool for duplicating diskettes.  It's for when the boss comes in and tells you that he needs two copies of each diskette as soon as possible and hands you a whole box to process.

Of course single diskette copies can be made using the Windows File Manager and other tools but Diskers is primarily designed to facilitate the creation of multiple copies because it creates an image on your hard disk of the original diskette which can then be reproduced on demand immediately or anytime later.

You may also find it a very valuable product for your office co-workers who don't spend very much time dealing with "computer stuff" and are uncomfortable using the Windows File Manager.

Diskers can be ordered from Fineware for $19.95 plus $2 shipping/handling.

Call 1-800-544-1740 to place your order today!


Diskers Screen Example

This sample screen shows an actual diskette copy in operation.  During the process, the "data" image moves from diskette to computer or visa versa depending upon the operation requested.

hexadecimal

Numbering System using base 16.  The decimal numbering system is base 10.  The number 0 through 9 is eqivalent in both numbering systems.  At the number TEN, a base 10 system requires two positions.  A base 16 system represents the base 10 numbers 10,11,12,13,14, & 15 as A,B,C,D,E & F.  In Hex, the number 256 would be represented as FF.
