LETTERS

Wolly understands that WOLRS and the original WinOnLine Review™ are making it across the pond to Scotland and the UK on a regular basis. We've glad that you folks are enjoying Wolly and his comments, even if he's not so kind sometimes. Let us hear from more of you! And speaking of unkind . . .

YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE

We have gotten numerous kind letters from authors who appreciated being in WOLRS and many more who want their program to appear. The author of a program that Wolly didn't like wrote Wolly that he didn't like him, in so many words. Unprintable words. Personal attacks, even. How unprofessional! Nearly ruined Wolly's week, and he had an otherwise very happy one. One of Wolly's neighbors and close friends is a very wealthy man, owning a company that produces all kinds of milk products, ice cream, butter and the like. He recently had his firstborn and choose Wolly to be the Godparent. So, since Wolly is in such a good mood, he forgives the author his transgressions, and invites him over anytime to chat and perhaps meet his neighbor. This new baby is so cute, Wolly may even suggest he kiss his dairy heir.

Enjoy the issue !


      SHAREWARE BRIEFS

PROJECTOR

Movies while I'm away

Projector uses the Windows screen saver mechanism and its own wily ways to create scripts for AVI or BMP and WAV files in combination. Pretty neat and relatively easy to set up, you can amaze, amuse and annoy co-workers with odd little BMP/WAV creations of your own or series of your favorite movie clips. Beware if you have no such multimedia capabilities now; PRJCTR.ZIP (67K) will provide for screen saver features but you need your own video runtime stuff. Registration is $15.00, which includes a return disk and manual.

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER

Holy cow, Becky, we're in Microsoft Help!

As we hope you can see from the publication you are now reading, the Windows help system has a multitude of uses besides offering program help. In this case, Radial Laria Productions, Inc. and Jim Blaich have released this wonderful Mark Twain novel in that format. As a help to its readers, certain words that exceed a median vocabulary level (6th grade, perhaps??) are keyed to the help system's jump feature, and a brief definition is provided for those who might need the clarification. This is particularly valuable when encountering 19th century words. ADVOFTS.ZIP (271K) is shareware for merely $1.75, with the proceeds going towards further efforts at online publications such as this one. Enjoy!

DUCK HUNT

Found some!

Hunters now have a PC outlet for their urges! They'd better hunt for a computer with some moxie and 256 colors, because Duck really didn't run very well on Wolly's more minimal 386 test system. The more robust 486 did well to display the fractally generated scenery and play all the background MIDI music and WAV files and the distress of a duck hit squarely. Wolly was a bit surprised that the author gave hunters no way out; once a hunt phase is begun, there is no way to stop the program. DUCK.ZIP (328K) can be fun for the shootemup gang, and can be registered for $15.00.

THE PAGAN DAYBOOK

Look out, here comes Wildmon!

In spite of the somewhat forbidding sound of the title, this program is more of interest from a research and curiosity perspective. Prior to the Judeo-Christian influence on the world's calendar there were (and still are) many other cultural and spiritual traditions and customs. The word Pagan seems to have an instant association to a bunch of robed fanatics sacrificing animals in the moonlight (although what's a Saturday night without a blood rite?). According to Webster, the word only means someone who does not subscribe to the Christian, Jewish or Moslem faiths. But Wolly digresses. The Pagan Daybook notifies you of the significant celebrations and festivals that predated the traditional holidays we observe today and displays illustrations appropriate to the event. The documentation is very fascinating to read, and the program pretty and interesting. Options configure the program to open, and then terminate automatically after a specified period of time. Registration for The Pagan Daybook is bookware, requiring your purchase of a book:  Steven William Rimmer's new novel. Details and ordering options for the inexpensive novel ($10.00 or less) are in the documentation. Wolly suggests you take a look at PAGANW10.ZIP (159K); it's not dangerous nor likely to put you on the road to rune (pun alert!). Or perhaps it will.

HUNTER

Grep galore

Hunter is a long time veteran of Windows utilities, but age has only improved its look, feel and functionality. More than just a file finder, Hunter brings a GREP function to the table. For those unfamiliar with the term, GREP is a UNIX tool that has extremely powerful pattern matching capabilities. Hunter will search text files looking for patterns you prescribe using GREP arguments, which can be very useful. File searches may be carried out, in the background if necessary, using wildcard filenames and criteria such as the age or size of the file, and can include hidden and system files. HUNT33.ZIP has actually come down in price since its earlier Windows 3.0 versions, and can be yours for $15.00.

TRUE TYPE FONTS

Hey Mr. Postman . . .

This week's sole entry contains not only the Postnet and FIM true type fonts, but also specifications as to their use. Registration of  USPSTT.ZIP (10K) is $15.00. The fonts are also available in ATM Type 1 Postscript format upon request.

INSTANT FILE ACCESS

Just add water

Now here's a concept. Some of the more heavy duty programs provide you with a history of the last few files you worked with, so access to them is easier. Wouldn't it be neat if you had that option with most any application?? Alexsoft thought so, and created Instant File Access. This utility is an extension of the Common Open File Dialog Box, and will work only with those programs that use that standard. Odd guys need not apply. This program is silent but runs deep, with countless options to configure it. The right mouse button activates Instant File Access when in a the dialog box, and file types can be prescribed as permanent; i.e., always appearing in the menu. This is a pretty slick utility that breaks ground and can introduce a convenience to nearly every program you use. IFA200.ZIP (184K) can be registered for $30.00.

ICON OF TERROR

Sounds like a "B" movie

Beneath that innocent looking Windows icon is an evil spirit that randomly produces six bizarre sounds (if you have a sound card) and over 100 insults and jokes. Its memory requirements are apparently a terror, since it claimed a deficiency in that department on my 4 meg 386-DX25 although I had 67% of my resources free and was running only Write, File Manager, Notepad and my shell. TERROR.ZIP (158K) was screamingly good on my 486 test system, so if terrorism or rude sounds are your thing, check out this freeware program just for the fun of it.

TRASHCAN

Where does Wolly hang out, anyway?

It was kind of a slim week for new stuff, so Wolly is down in the dumps again. Actually, this piece of careware elevated Wolly's spirits with both its thoughts and capabilities. Trashcan is termed the intelligent Windows trashcan because it knows when it's needed. It appears as a drag and drop icon only when File Manager is functional. Otherwise, it dives out of the picture. Various options make it even more usable and functional. DDTRASH.ZIP (17K) stands out especially because of this explanation within the accompanying file: CAREWARE: This program is CAREWARE, meaning that if you like it please donate some dollars or pound or mark or whatever currency to people in need of money to enable them to live as human beings. Thanks, author Olaf Hess, for the noble and wise sentiment.

NEW DATE

I am getting tired of my old one

This freeware DLL file, when added to your \SYSTEM directory and within a line of your WINFILE.INI works wonders. A convenient menu item is added to File Manager that makes modifying file dates and times a veritable breeze. NEWDATE1.ZIP (6K) could be quite handy if you have the need.

Dupe Review
      ACCUBOARD

a review by Ed Hoffman

One of the more useful features of the Windows program that I frequently use is the clipboard. In fact, way back in the 2.X days, the clipboard feature alone caused me to abandon my run-time versions of Windows in favor of the full Windows program. The feature I found most compelling about the clipboard was the ability to move data from one program to another, or between different files using the same program. Well, after using the clipboard feature for quite a while, in several different versions of Windows, I'm still fond of this feature, despite its limitations.

Probably the obvious restriction of the clipboard is its single entry limitation. To add something new to the clipboard you automatically delete whatever is already there. Granted, this restriction is easy to work around, but it is a pain in the neck occasionally when you need to copy several different items between programs. One such problem I often encounter is copying several database fields from my PIM (Personal Information Manager) to other documents. Here I have to copy the First Name, Last Name, Title, Address, and Zip code individually. Though I eventually get all the data transferred, it is a nuisance going back and forth. So, I'm always on the lookout for shareware programs that can make working with the clipboard easier and simpler. Though there are many programs available to help manage the clipboard, most require a variety of added steps. What I was looking for was a program that really simplifies this task, without requiring me to learn a whole bunch of new operations. Well, fortunately, I've found a program that fits these parameters: AccuBoard 1.1. So, this program has been awarded the much coveted "Work's For Me" award.

The AccuBoard 1.1 Clipboard Accumulator program is one of those simple programs that does only one thing and does that thing remarkably well. And with a size slightly over 8k, you'll not need a new hard drive to run this program. When activated, AccuBoard 1.1 monitors the clipboard and the keyboard activity for any CUT or COPY commands. When you add any text to the clipboard through either the CUT or COPY functions, the AccuBoard 1.1 program captures the text going through the clipboard. This text is then stored within the program's memory until you need to paste it elsewhere.

To paste the accumulated data to another document, a simple mouse click brings up the System Menu box . An additional mouse click on the To Clipboard option transfers all the text accumulated in the AccuBoard 1.1 memory to the Windows clipboard where you can paste it wherever you wish.

The AccuBoard 1.1 program is shown with a simple icon. The caption below the icon lists the size of the captured data. Each time more text is captured, this number shows the size of the total amount of captured text in bytes. The unregistered shareware version of this program has a maximum capacity of 3000 bytes. The registered version has no memory limit. One additional benefit of this byte counter is to show you that the data you have captured has been copied, so no more double text captures or missing text entries when using the clipboard. A simple clip on the Clear option empties the AccuBoard 1.1 memory. A check mark appears beside the Active line when the program is activated. The Separators option places a line between each captured section of text. This may help you identify individual selections.

The AccuBoard 1.1 program is a useful addition to any system and if you frequently copy text between programs, you may wish to check out this program. Members of Windows OnLine can find AccuBoard 1.1 as ACUBO11.ZIP in Directory #35 - (Windows-Accessories A-G).
