HAPPY 25th ISSUE!

Celebrate with Wolly! You may have noticed an extra file in your WOLRS archive this week: DVV102SE.ZIP. It's a Special Edition of Draggin' Viewer, a favorite program of Wolly's, created by the author just for this occasion. Take a look at Wolly's review in this issue, and then unzip this treat and enjoy. Draggin' Viewer will become a favorite of yours, too. Please register this wonderful little program and let the author know that you appreciate this special edition.

WOW! Twenty-five issues. Between our Feature Reviews and Shareware Briefs we've given you the lowdown on nearly 300 shareware and freeware products! We hope you have become a regular reader of WOLRS and find it of value in your search for the ultimate shareware. Windows OnLine began distributing its electronic magazines in April 1992 and is proud of its continuous service to the online community. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and WOL is very flattered lately, but it remains the publisher of the original magazine in WinHelp format. The WinOnLine Review™ will be published next week, and we'll take our hiatus to get ready for the next 25!

Give us a call on Windows OnLine™ with your comments or suggestions. Let us know if you like the special program enclosed and if you want to see similar enclosures in the future.

Enjoy the issue !

TAIL GUNNER

Space Cowboy

If you enjoyed Ian Firth's last shoot 'em up, Prarie Dog Hunt, you may also be captured by this arcade game as well. Tail Gunner is far more interesting, with targets that not only move but shoot back. Armed with state of the art plasma cannons and pulse lasers you are a force to behold, but watch out for the variety of enemy craft which attack! Divert power from the weapons to those failing shields if need be (did you hear that, Scotty?) and use the "training wheels" in the form of the tracking option if you need a hint. Wolly did just fine playing Tail Gunner on his 386, but his 486 put a hurtin' on his tail, so I guess the author is right in recommending a more capable machine. Any resolution is supported, and 256 colors is recommended, but the game looked just fine in 16 colors to Wolly. TAIL10A.ZIP (98K) may be registered for $15.00.

FILE GARBAGE CAN

Incinerator to follow

While most trash can programs merely delete files, File Garbage Can has the ability to obliterate them. Using the Top Secret setting Wolly was unable to restore the file to life using the DOS6 or Norton Utilities undelete. If you need your deleted files to remain deleted, consider downloading GC0993.ZIP (96K). Registration is $5.00.

THE PHONE MASTER

And it rings a few other bells

Flexibility is the key to The Phone Master's appeal. The field labels can be altered, customizing the application for your needs. The check boxes across the bottom are available as reminders and can be key to the search feature, which will also simply seek out text in the predefined fields and the freeform "notes" box. The search feature did not seem particularly quick, even with Wolly's limited test database. But of course, it couldn't be called The Phone Master without the ability to dial through your modem, but it also has a built-in terminal program with many features that may surprise you. A text editor and clock with alarm are also incorporated within the package. Finally, you may print a "grab and run" tear sheet of individual or selected records or design a custom report to commit your information to paper, though Wolly did have a bit of trouble with these features. Help is not much help, but PMASTR15.ZIP (180K) has a few worthwhile but buried treasures within its menus that would be more apparent and easily accessed from the program display. Wolly liked the ambition of this $19.95 shareware program, whose registration also includes the DOS version, and hopes the author will continue to develop its potential.

ENJOY YOUR GUITAR

My dog has fleas

Despite the excerpted illustration, Enjoy Your Guitar covers the screen from top to bottom with chord figures and will display variation upon variation. It'll also play scales through your PC Speaker or through a MIDI connection. The program has many capabilities, being a Chord and Scale Database, Chord and Scale Designer and Player, Guitar to Keyboard chord translator, and it will provide Staff Notation of Guitar Chords. This is a very impressive program of a type I've not seen before. Check out GUITAR11.ZIP (122K) and pass it on to your favorite guitar player, who can register it for $28.95.

SMART ASS

A namesake if there ever was one

This program addresses one of Wolly's pet peeves. He gets upset when authors (this one, in fact) use extensions like DOC in a Windows' shareware product on an ASCII file. I don't want to watch MSWord laboriously open and convert a 1709 byte VENDOR.DOC file, I want Notepad in this case. SmartAss installs easily and requires you to associate it with any extensions with which you want to exercise choice. Then, when you click on a file with that extension, SmartAss pops up with your choice of programs to load the program into. The author's cute name is really an abbreviation for Smart Association, since it will learn repeated associations of the same file to the same application and skip over the choice based on a threshold you set. SMARTA.ZIP (35K) is $15.00 shareware.

SECOND  COPY

Insurance

Windows is an environment of change, and sometimes those changes get you into trouble. Second copy is a utility that makes a backup copy of specified files to another location for safekeeping. Profiles (groups of files) can be prescribed along with their frequency and location of backup. After second copy makes its initial pass, only files that have changed are copied. Second copy could be more selective in its file profiles, but it does its job. SECOP401.ZIP (140K) may be registered for $25.00.

TRUE TYPE FONT(S)

Singular

 OLIVIA.ZIP (17K)

QUICK DEX

Listen to my lips

A variation of an old Mac tool, Quick Dex is a Windows Cardfile replacement. The cards are freeform, and a search mechanism is provided. If you configure a modem, the illustrated lips shown will change into a telephone and it will dial the number you select. Left as lips, it will read the selected number to you, albeit slowly, from the ten WAV files included. Card contents may be printed, singly, those selected by search, or all cards with a blank or custom line or page break separating each. QDEX108A.ZIP (99K) is cute, but it's also $20.

MAKIN' WAVES

Splash!

This program can be a help when you're sorting through sound files. Play a WAV file with a click of the mouse, and easily delete the file if it's not a keeper. Makin' Waves lives up to its name when you encounter SND, VOC and SOU files, which it purportedly can convert to WAV files, though the one VOC file Wolly had handy resisted the attempt. When you click on a conversion candidate, a convenient dialog box with options for stereo and sampling rate property changes becomes available. MKWV14.ZIP (52K) can be registered for $15.00, which will add drag and drop playing and conversion from file manager on the registered version that will be sent to you.

FILE DESK

Why, it almost looks like some sort of fruit!

Folders and icons are spread across your desktop by File Desk, bringing that flavor of visual presentation to file management. Executables can be double-clicked into life, though your associations are ignored. A right double-click will bring up a dialog box for adding arguments to your program launch. File moving and copying is supported. Very limited options for file sorting and copy/move confirmation are offered. File Desk may be your cup of tea but it seemed to Wolly too limited for practical use, but FDESK101.ZIP (146K) may be yours for $18.00 (or 95 Francs) in payment to its French author.

THE GAME OF LIFE

Get a life?

This game is not really a game at all, but a freeware model based on that which was developed by Cambridge mathematician John Horton Conway. Conway's Life is an example of "cellular automata," a mathematical methodology that has found application in image processing and computer simulations. This, like professional football, is a game you mostly watch, but I don't know that you'll cheer. You do have the power to select certain criteria that affect the model's growth, and patterns develop from the seeds you plant. As the patterns develop you can introduce additional factors to steer the outcome. You might find GETALIFE.ZIP (67K) interesting, or you may not. That's life. Wolly tried very hard to manipulate the patterns, but bets he'd have to wait many years for the answer "42" to appear.

DIR PRINT

Do the directory dump!

This freeware program will view and then print a directory listing, one of the omissions in File Manager. It's easy enough to work with and select the directory you want, though output is seemingly dependent on your printer. Output was crisp and clean on Wolly's HP Deskjet, complete with a nice header showing directory, date and time, bytes, number of files and page information. Only one file is printed per line, and subdirectories are not printed. Stranger output resulted from his Panasonic KXP1124 dot matrix, with a several inch blank space followed by very tiny print mimicking the output of the DeskJet in miniature. No printer or font options are offered. Dir Print also provides an option to select and deselect any of the files displayed. A click on the Disk button then displays the number of floppy disks of the most popular four choices required to store the files. This presupposes small files and precise placement. DIRPRI.ZIP (21K) is well intentioned and may have a use for you, but Wolly would like to see some further refinement.

Draggin' Viewer

SPECIAL EDITION

and more from VB Expressions

Author P.M. Chefalo of VB Expressions has a special treat for WOL readers that has been included in the WOLRS25.ZIP file this week. You'll find a Special Edition of his program, Draggin' Viewer (DVV120SE.ZIP) designed especially for us. Wolly is a rabid fan of this handy program, and uses it daily to aid in his exploration of shareware, and hopes you will find it useful, too. In this article we'll explore this latest version of Draggin' Viewer as well as three other programs from VB Expressions.

Draggin' Viewer

The oddest file names come across the desktop in shareware files. Wolly's no dummy; he has "ME" and "1ST" registered as extensions to start Notepad, but READTHIS.NOW, LOOKAT.IT and other oddities simply can't be anticipated. Other programs, such as the capture function of his DataComm program, creates text files with numerical extensions reflecting the date: WINDOWS.918. Draggin' Viewer lives at the bottom of Wolly's screen, ready to use the File Manager or any other server's drag and drop feature.

Draggin' Viewer will quickly load the file into Notepad, or ask if you want to convert it or not and load Windows Write if it exceeds Notepad's capacity. Now you can read the file, and use all the capabilities of those two programs to modify it, cut and paste, etc. Very handy for Wolly.

If you drag a PIF to Draggin' Viewer it will open up the PIF editor. Ever try to double click on a PIF or BAT file to edit it. Bzzzzzzt --- Wrong. It will run, won't it? (Don't lie now, Wolly knows you've done it at least once). WRI files are also recognized and bypass Notepad and load directly into Write.

This special edition of Draggin' Viewer replaces the usual Notepad Dragon with the Windows OnLine™ icon, and is version 1.2 just released by the author. When you find out how useful Draggin' Viewer is, please register it with VB Expressions for the bargain sum of only $5.00.

More from VB Expressions to check out . . .

Printers Daemon

No, this Daemon does not come from the depths, but from the printing industry's nickname, "Printer's Devil", an assistant in the shop, or from the Unix "daemon", a disconnected process that offers utility services, such as printing and mail.

This "Daemon" is a drag and drop client to which you drag files to print, usually the short README types or something similar. Printer's Daemon defaults to the fixed character True Type font Courier New, but you can choose whichever font you wish and Printer's Daemon will remember it for next time. Printer Setup is also accessible through the Daemon's system menu.

Printer's Daemon is smart enough to check the first 128 characters of your files for non-printable characters. If it finds any, it will warn you and ask if you want to continue. Check out PDV100S.ZIP (25K), a handy program that may be registered for $5.00.

Trask Free-K!

This smiling trash can will swallow any files you drag to it. Nothing fancy, no intermediate stops before destruction, just drag and drown. Naturally, if you drag the wrong file and it goes into oblivion, you can always immediately use the DOS6 undelete command to resuscitate it. TFV100F (14K) is freeware from VB Expressions.

PM Fonts Chooser

Different desktops need different views, and VB Expression's PM Fonts Chooser provides a quick and easy way to change your icon fonts. A few clicks will take you into font-land and let take your choice. If your judgement is bad, a quick click will take you back to the default. Registration for PMFV10S.ZIP (17K) is $5.00.

These programs are all from

Shareware Feature Review #2

PageMaker 5.0 is probably the most powerful Desktop Publishing program available for Windows. There are very few, if any Desktop Publishing operations that cannot be performed with this program. However, despite its power and functionality, PageMaker can be a pain to use. Just trying to find the commands and operations you want is occasionally quite a chore. But, with the PM Tools add-on for PageMaker, the more common commands and options are only a mouse click away.

The PM Tools utility is an exceptionally useful extension, or add-on, for both PageMaker 4.0 and 5.0 for Windows. The program provides a series of command buttons along the left side of the PageMaker screen for quick and easy execution of the most common PageMaker commands. As the author of the program says PM Tools lets you mouse around with your feet up. PM Tools is easy to use, saves lots of time, and it's FUN! While I might take exception to the fun part, it's hard to argue about the rest of this statement.

The major elements of the PM Tools program are the two different button sets, or ribbons. These sets are called the Pointer Ribbon and the Text Ribbon. The specific button ribbon displayed is determined by the tool selected in the tool box. When the Pointer tool is chosen, the Pointer Ribbon is shown. Likewise, when the text tool is selected the Text Ribbon appears at the left of the screen. Just about all the common commands or operations usually associated with either of these tools are contained in these ribbons. And I can assure you, from personal experience, that its much faster to click on these buttons than it is to search through the menus or the manual to find the key combinations.

If you needed to change text attributes, the text ribbon is much faster than the PageMaker alternative. To change text from Normal to Bold, for example, PageMaker requires you to open a series of individual menus to make the selections. Here you'll need to go to the PageMaker Type menu and select Type style and click on Bold to change the text attribute. But, with the PM Tools utility installed, a simple click on the B button does the same thing. Saves wear and tear on the mouse and your mental processes, since you'll not need to remember or memorize the PageMaker command structure. All the other commands on the buttons work just as easily.

With the leading command for example, clicking the left mouse button increases the leading by one point while clicking on the right mouse button decreases the leading by one point. Holding the SHIFT key down while clicking changes the leading either up or down by 1/10th of a point. If you click both mouse buttons on the leading button at the same time, the leading switches to Auto Leading. Although only two buttons are described here, all the buttons on both ribbons are just as easy to use and, depending on the button, many have multiple functions.

Another useful addition in the PM Tools program is the ShowFont utility. ShowFont appears as a window at the bottom of the PageMaker screen and displays the complete Windows character set for all the screen fonts installed on your system. This utility allows you to search for specific special characters, symbols or dingbats. Then when you find the required symbol, or character, a simple double mouse click on the character automatically inserts it into PageMaker at the insertion point.

The program has a very good documentation and help system that describes the complete operation of PM Tools as well as the use and features of all the buttons on both ribbons. Anyone who uses PageMaker regularly or even infrequently should give this utility a try. PM Tools is one of the few utilities that can both speed production and make PageMaker easier to learn. When I installed PageMaker 5.0 on my system, the next program that was installed immediately after was PM Tools. While as a reviewer, I know I must be as objective as possible. With this program, however, it's hard not to be opinionated. Damn right I'm biased, and if you add this utility to your PageMaker program you'll understand why.
