WIN INI
VACATION IS GOOD

This 22nd issue of the WinOnLine Review™ Shareware Edition is one of the biggest we've ever put out! With the week off we had a little more time and a lot more shareware to browse and include in the Shareware Briefs. Wolly sweated big time trying to sort through it to select his victims . . . aah, I mean candidates to review. There were some definite jewels in there, and it seems like there are a lot of new drivers for various Windows and Windows NT devices showing up almost daily. Check out the New Files section for the latest goodies to make your PC quicker and more bulletproof.

WOLRS77.ZIP

Speaking of WOW! did you see the WinOnLine Review Issue #77. It's a keeper. Download it today, especially if you're into Pagemaker!

WELCOME!

We'd like to extend a hearty welcome to a new contributing writer. This week's review of Desk Top Set was written by Ed Rasimus, a friend of Ed Hoffman's (Wolly won't hold that against you) and a consultant from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Be sure to check out his article.

Enjoy the issue !


Shareware Briefs

   Wolly's Pick of the Week

THE CLEANERS

I've been taken there . . . but not by these great programs!

These are three of the most useful programs I've seen in a while, and bargains to boot. Raise your hand if your drive is chock full of obsolete BMP, WAV and ICO files --- thought so! These little monsters crawl into crevices and multiply, and it's such a pain to to through the steps to sort them out, view or listen to them, and then beam them off into nothingness.

The Cleaners are three separate programs: BMP Cleaner, Wave & Midi Cleaner, and Icon Cleaner. Each runs separately, moving to the subdirectory where you point it and either displaying or playing the file selected. Icon Cleaner (shown above) not only shows you the icon, but gives you options to copy, move, delete or convert it to a BMP! The Wave & Midi Cleaner offers similar options and BMP Cleaner (pictured here) will also install the selected graphic file as wallpaper. Each of these applications works great, intuitively and easily. Send your $5.00 to register all three applications within CLEN.ZIP (66K!). Author Michael J. Murphy has three winners here which obviously grew out of real world experience. This oughta free up a couple megs, easy!

VOODOO

DoDo What you DoDo

This is great! Now I can invoke voodoo curses or white magic on your enemies and friends by computer! No more messy straw to clean up nor accidental pinpricks to suffer. What we have here is a programmer with a sick sense of humor; Wolly loves that in a person! Please forgive my rendition of his finely crafted 256 color doll reduced both in size and to 16 colors for the purpose of display here. Stick pins in one of the eight vital areas to wish lottery winnings, good sex, baldness or computer crashes! The exit curse is also the greatest! VOODOO.ZIP (49K) can be registered for $5.00, and woe be to those who avoid the tariff.

ROUTE 1

Take a spin

Route 1 is an old friend to us, having reviewed a much earlier version. My, how it has grown! This alternative Windows shell/toolbar/Batman Utility Belt has about a zillion more options and capabilities over previous versions. Route 1 can be configured easily, and buttons can even be added using the drag and drop method if you wish. Icons that display system resources and time are included, but buttons are completely optional. It still does its disappearing trick, clicking the up arrow causes it to roll up into a tiny rectangle in a position of your choice, ready for action. Some of the new features of Route 1 includes its own script language and scheduler, the ability to attach sounds to events, a laundry list of advanced options including mouse wrap, three level password protection, context sensitive help messages, icon bar positioning, sub-menus and more. A large selection of 3-D icons is provided and includes animated icons for your enjoyment. Route 1 has a lot of capabilities and there are a bunch of other little goodies for which I would have preferred documentation, and you'll have to spend some time experimenting with the program trying to understand them all. ROUTE1V4.ZIP (610K) is still a great bargain at $18.00, which includes free updates.

FONT HEAVEN

Not Heaven, but not Hell, either. Perhaps Purgatory?

There are countless variations of the font program genre, and Font Heaven is another one I won't count on just yet. I do like its ability to display or print samples of installed fonts in sizes and with samples of your choice, and the ability to express your preference as to the number of fonts across. However, the order in which the fonts display seems to conform with the order in which they are loaded in WIN.INI, with no choice of an alternative. Another quirk is the registration for FONTH101.ZIP (28K), which is $31.95 including, whether you want them or not, 150 True Type fonts (which ones? Don't I need this because I have too many already?). Wolly would like to see some sequencing options and registration for the program alone.

FAST FILE FIND

Fast and Free

This is a well-written freeware file finder with many useful options to work with the files you find. Searches can include multiple criteria to avoid repeat passes, and specify a range of dates between which to search.  Fast File Find will also optionally search within ZIP and ARJ files for its targets. The file display may include full paths and file dates and sizes.

The real charm is what you can do with the files you find. It's very nearly as if you are running within file manager. Double-click on a found file to activate the association, or copy, move and delete files, or run an executable file right from Fast File Find. Convenient clipboard cut and copy abilities are also present. Though it uses an undocumented Windows feature, it will also act as a drag and drop server, so you can drag file(s) to clients. It also looks sharp, and users can select between three program appearances (3-D shown). Two versions of the program are contained within FFW200A.ZIP (96K), one specific to the 286 processor, and a version compiled for 386 specific code (the one reviewed here). Fast File Find is not completely bulletproof, but not what I'd call buggy, and it is an exceptional gift of freeware to us from author D. Munro.

  CLICK HERE!

SENSE

Just mousin' around

As you move your mouse across the screen from window to window, Sense activates the window you pass through with nary a click of the rodent. That could be very convenient, though sometimes not, so a right click on the desktop brings options to deactivate and reactivate Sense. Does that make sense? Sure does. SENSE202.ZIP (17K) can be registered for $10.00.

MOUSE WARP

Warp 5, Ensign Mickey. Engage.

Change your cursors, your wait (hourglass) symbols, design your own cursors and hotspots for them. Adjust speed and have the cursor wrap around the screen like Microsoft's new version 9 mouse driver does. Keep a display alive that shows the X-Y coordinate of your cursor's position, set it to blinking after a user-defined period of inactivity, and assign functions to your unused buttons. Not bad. WARP20.ZIP (49K) is $20.00 shareware from Toggle Booleans.

PRIVATE CRYPTOGRAPHER

SSHHHH! It's a secret!

Keep your secrets secret by encrypting your files with Private Cryptographer. Assign a monster case-sensitive password that scrambles your data far beyond recognition. Keep your private notes private, or send e-mail to a colleague and keep big brother from knowing your plans for a coup d'etat. Private Cryptographer has a clipboard feature to make your words disappear into a jumble, and works well with word processing, graphics, and even executable files, using the "File, Encrypt File" menu option. Just don't forget the password. No back door for ENCRY104.ZIP (70K), yours for a registration fee of $20.00.

LAWYER JOKE A DAY

Didja hear the one about . . .

With all the griping by the legal profession lately, this program's timing is just right! Barristers lacking a sense of humor will not like LAWJK101.ZIP (39K). If you place it in your startup group it will regale you with a new slam to the gut of legal profession each day. And there are some good ones in there.  Gotta love it. Registration is $10.00, though if you don't register it and get caught I doubt Ivory Software will be able to find legal representation to sue you.

DBLABEL PRINTER

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

DBLabel is a lousy label printer for an unknown purpose. There are not enough options, no documentation, no font selections, and you are told to adjust the printer and label, not the program. Then the print from my LJIII went right off the label outside the outline blocks. But it will play music, somehow, and breaks into a round of applause when the author's "About" screen displays. Perhaps a one-handed clap. DBLABEL1.ZIP (327K!!!!) is $9.95 and what should have been in Wolly's judgment an early alpha version.

TRUE TYPE FONTS

Slim pickin's lately

   OREWET.ZIP (22K)

QLOPE

Rename it Q Lop!

QLope is an envelope printer. It's clumsy, offers too few options for practical use, would not relinquish my system to allow another virtual window to preempt it when it was on screen, and the setup program is unnecessary and moronic since none of the files are really compressed. Other than that, it's perfect. That's QLOPE.ZIP (121K) at $7.95, for the record, which needs a great deal more work to be a contender.

WavSorter_Review

It's a dog eat dog world out there trying to sell software. The big boys spend the advertising dollars and the little guy has an uphill fight for market share. What's a company to do? Well, one company has come up with an inventive marketing slant. Okna Software decided they would give away their great little Personal Information Manager (PIM), and once the users had it in their hands and saw how great it was, they would order the full featured "Pro" version. Desk Top Set Jr. is freeware. But, once you have this great calendar and phone book on your PC, you WILL send them the $89 for the commercial version, Desk Top Set 4.0. I guarantee it!

The freeware version is available online and comes in four zipped files.  To install the Desk Top Set Jr.: unzip to a single directory and run the install program. What you get is a program group containing a daytimer® style calendar; a phone book with both white and yellow pages; an all-inclusive help file; a conversion utility to take the pain out of filling out the phonebook; a phone dialer; and (here's the marketing ploy), a .XLS format spreadsheet comparing Desk Top Set with other PIMs.

The Phone Book

Most of us dread the thought of converting to a new rolodex or phone number file. Desk Top Set takes care of that little difficulty with an easy-to-use conversion utility. I translated more than 350 names, address, cities, and phone numbers from an MS Accesstm datafile in about five minutes. The result was instant phone book. Click on a number in the book, and the automatic dialer feature pops up and activates your modem to dial your selection. When you hear a reply, simply click on the "talk" button and have your conversation.

But, that is just the beginning. The phone book metaphor in Desk Top Set is the front-end of a well-designed relational database. Each name entry in the phone book is linked to a number of forms in which you can enter business, home, category, event or note information. Space is available for noting an individual's company, position, spouse name, car phone, fax number, pager, billing rate for services, etc. You can note affiliations or relationships by category, such as "friend", "relative" or "bridge club". In short, the designers of this program have thought of just about every little note you have carried crushed up in your pocket on an old cocktail napkin. And, all you have to do is click on the name entry in the phone book to have these details pop up in front of you.

The Calendar

The Desk Top Set calendar is similarly well designed. Just like any good organizer, the calendar offers day, week-at-a-glance, month, and year views. Okna, (the name means "window" in Russian), has designed a slick data entry interface for the calendar which allows point and click selection of a time block, menu selection of the event, and phone book linkage. Once the entry is made, it can be tied to alarms, phone calls, notes, or letter writing tasks. All of it is color coded and seamlessly integrated.  Important events can be given a prominent color in the calendar listing, and a distinctive alarm can be selected to sound at a suitable time in advance of the event. A printout of the day, week or monthly schedule can be generated to stuff in your purse or  briefcase if you don't travel with a laptop.

The integration of Desk Top Set is the best part. Let's say you want to call client John Doe to set up a lunch meeting. Open the phone book to "D", and before you call, click on his name. A display pops up in which you see John works for Amalgamated Widgets, his wife's name is Jane, you have billed him in the past at $45 per unit, and in the notes you recorded that he likes Mexican food. Now click on his phone number. The dialer opens up and makes the call for you. When the connection is established, you pick up your handset, greet John, ask about his wife, and invite him to lunch at Jose Muldoon's.

While John is agreeing to lunch, you click on the Desk Top Set calendar and select the current month. When John says he is free on the 15th, you click on the date and choose "edit/event". Point at 11:30 to 1:00, point at "business lunch" in the event menu, and when you click, the event, "business lunch with John Doe" will be entered along with John's phone number. Another click sets the alarm at whatever advance warning you need to make the appointment. If you select the phone icon, his number will be dialed for you when you need to call to confirm. It doesn't get much slicker than that. When the date comes, a bugle call sounds softly on your computer at 11:00 to go meet John.

All of these features are available at a price which I consider incredible. FREE! The program is not limited or crippled in any way. Unlimited entries, data space, and duration of the calendar mean you can use Desk Top Set Jr. forever at no charge. If you choose to upgrade to the commercial version, you will gain a word processing module that allows mail merge by category or selected criteria from your phone book entries. You also will gain the telephone message log which will note your phone calls, call backs, and comments on calls. The commercial version supports "Caller ID", taking you immediately to the appropriate entry in the Phone Book so you are never at a loss for who a caller is or what business you have done before. And the upgrade includes an improved "tape style" calculator. Clearly, enough additional features are available to justify purchasing the full program. At an upgrade cost of $89, I suspect that most users of Desk Top Set Jr. don't wait very long. In comparison with other PIMs, Desk Top Set is well designed, efficient, and extremely useful. And, you can't beat the price!  Members of Windows OnLine can find Desk Top Set Jr. as DTOKNA, DTCAL, DTBOOK, and DTHELP in Directory #31- (Windows- File/Shell add-in A-G).

If there was such a thing in the realm of QWK reader software as a breech birth, CMPQwk qualifies. However, after that brief struggle, it's an absolutely beautiful baby.

The initial release suffered from too few computer variations swimming in its pool of beta testers and caused an eruption of netmail activity that still echoes the echoes, but author Derek Backus quickly responded and acquitted himself with versions 1.12 and 1.13, the latter that is being featured here. If you experienced problems with the first releases, it's time to come back to CMPQwk! To say that this is a well executed, fully featured QWK reader is an understatement.

You start your experience by with CMPQwk by reading a specially designed QWK packet, messages written in a conversational tone to give you a quick start with your mail. Todd Henschell is the author of both the QWK-start introduction and the incredibly well constructed Help File. When nominations are announced for the Pulitzer Prize for Help Files, Mr. Henschell will likely be on the list. It's not perfect, but its one of the best designed and complete Help files around.

There is a panoply of options within CMPQwk, and it serves you well to spend some time exploring each. This serves two purposes; one, so you get the most out of each, and two, so you realize that a perceived "bug" may be just your lack of knowledge of an option's existence. For instance, it does one no good to repeatedly specify window positions unless the option to "use saved window positions" is on.

CMPQwk is equipped with a window each for Conferences, Reading Messages, Message Index, and Writing Messages, and multiple message windows can be open simultaneously. As mentioned previously, their positions and sizes can be selected and saved. There is no doubt that you will get more pleasure out of using CMPQwk if you can use a resolution greater than 640x480 to give you the real estate to spread out. However, the minimum Windows resolution will still give you a good rendition, as shown in the illustration below which is even less than 640x480. Single keystrokes take you back and forth between the read and index windows, and messages can be advanced by several methods. Toolbar icons occupy the top of the screen for quick access to most of the major functions of the program.

The program offers many features that should delight Windows users considering a new reader. Some of them, but not all, in no particular order,  include:

Internal  zip archiving and unarchiving (2.0 compatible)  with options for external archivers

QWK packet management; that automated packet renaming and timed deletion based on your criteria

Tagline management features and a tagline thief for borrowing from messages to add to your collection

Folder System to save messages, nicely done and easily maintained for future reference in folders you define

MDI (multiple document interface) allows opening and manipulation of multiple messages

Spell Checker for replies, albeit somewhat limited, that can maintained

Message exporting to a file, that optionally append additional entries as you create them

Text Importing into message replies

Text Searching abilities

Rubber Stamp, an option that inserts designated text up to 256 characters using a key combination

Automatic Signatures which can use high ASCII

Read Window quotes and replies in selectable colors, though the option prevents cutting and pasting if you elect it

To, From and Subject Twitting, meaning the ability to filter out  unwanted messages

ANSI viewer

Tracking of messages that you've read

Keyboard shortcuts that duplicate menu selections and toolbar icons for the mouse-impaired, and right button mouse shortcuts for rodent fans

"To" and "Subject" lists with easy entry and subsequent editing

The only gripe I have with CMPQwk is the ANSI viewer for new files, bulletins and such. It is intolerably slow if the file is large, even on an accelerated 486-33DX, and it's coffee break time on my 386DX-25. I have actually resorted to just dragging the NEWFILES.DAT from within CMPQWK\WORK to a text viewer to escape the tedium. Mr. Backus is aware of the shortcoming and reports that there will be built in options to use an alternate viewing method in version 1.5, and that will be most welcome.

Mail readers are no different than any other type of program. When you break away from the one you're used to, you rebel at the differences of the new one. I can only suggest that you give CMPQwk a healthy audition to become familiar with its many features and its ease of use. The author has stated in the help file and most definitely exhibited his responsiveness to user suggestions.

Version 1.13 was evaluated for this review, which consisted of CQWK111A.ZIP and CQWK111B.ZIP along with the version 1.13 update, CUPD113.ZIP. However, version 1.14 should be available by the time this review appears:

CQWK114A.ZIP - Program and installation files

CQWK114B.ZIP - Dictionary files (optional)

Registration $40.00
