interface for FORMAT, making preparation of new disks a breeze. You can freely download a
shareware version of these programs.
AutoShutdown*
AutoShutdown is a system tray utility which allows automatic shutdown of your PC. A user
can configure their system to shutdown after a period of inactivity (no mouse or keyboard

for the day or at home after you have gone to bed. A free trial version of this software

the Euro symbol from your keyboard, please see the Microsoft Typography Page. This program

No-Keys*
No-Keys is a virtual (on-screen) keyboard that you can type on using a mouse or trackball.
Keys you type are sent to another Windows program selected by you. Allows you to type in
word processors, terminal programs, etc. using only a mouse. Designed primarily for people
with disabilities who cannot use the keyboard. Can also be used with touch screen
computers. A free shareware version is available for you to download.
StupenDOS*
StupenDOS is a DOS Shell that allows you to take control of your computer. StupenDOS
converts difficult DOS commands into simple operations with its easy to use "Point
and Shoot" commands. StupenDOS works great with a mouse, but is also very easy to use
with a keyboard. StupenDOS uses quick and easy Pulldown Menus so all of the available
options are easily accessible. Beginners can look through the Menus for the desired
options, and can use the provided shortcut keys as they become familiar with the program.
StupenDOS remembers the operations you have done previously, reducing the keystrokes
needed when repeating operations. StupenDOS allows you to "execute" any type of
file. You can tell StupenDOS how to act on a file based on its filespec. StupenDOS can run
your favorite text editor on files with .DOC extensions, PKLITE on files with .EXE
extensions, or a picture viewer on files with .GIF extensions. A shareware version of this
software is available for download.
Scramb'ler
128**
Scramb'ler 128 is a user transparent high security disk encryption system for the C-128 in
CP/M mode. The system physically encrypts all data (using a special disk format and
including the directory) based on a user selected four to twenty-four character password.
The encryption and decryption is done automatically at the CP/M BIOS level and will not
interfere with normal user programs. In addition, the encryption driver is also
transparent to non-encrypted disks (i.e. you still have full access to normal,
non-encrypted disks when Scramb'ler is installed, and can copy back and forth between
encrypted and non-encrypted disks transparently). You can download this program for
free (freeware).
TrayDay*
TrayDay lets you see the date at a glance - often quicker and easier than resting your
mouse over the clock, searching for an "Insert Date" menu, or having to reach
for your diary. Move the mouse over the icon and the day of the week will appear.
Left-click the icon and a pop-up menu appears showing the date in various formats -
including up to ten user defined formats. Click one and it will automatically be inserted
into your application (or copied to the clipboard, depending on the option checked in the
right-click menu). You can select your favorite date format to be available by
double-clicking the TrayDay icon. The user formats can include the date, ordinals (1st,
2nd 3rd etc), time, and counters - particularly useful for date/time-stamping messages or
files. A free shareware version is available for you to download.
Tray
Phonebook*
Phone/address/email data program for Windows. Click on the system tray icon to bring up
your address book.
Add entries for personal or business contacts. Print address or phone lists for posting by
the phone or travel. Ideal for tracking phone numbers and email addresses. Users with
modems can have a phone number automatically dialed by the program. A free trial version
of this software is available for download.
VGA Grid**
The VGA_Grid utility is a small and simple tool that utilizes the tendency of Color
Cathode Ray Tubes to shift red and blue pixels in opposite directions, to clearly
visualize the quality of the tube (or the monitor's calibration) without having to run
Windows. When a monitor has a considerable amount of shift, it stands to reason that
detailed images which contain magenta or purple components, will be fuzzier than those
with other colors. From VGA_Grid version 1.02 an option was added to show a simple RGB
adjustment grid which can be used for recalibration. This utility is free of charge
(freeware).

WinKillr*
WinKillr is an indispensable new utility for Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Win95. It's a
Windows program, but it has no window of its own. Instead it acts as a background
"terminator" for any application to which it is assigned. When the application's
time is up, either in elapsed time or when the computer clock reaches a specified time or
date/time, the application is "killed". WinKillr v1.1's new user interface
allows easier setup and maintenance of the .WNK files which control application program
termination. Handy new features include allowing the target program to be launched in a
minimized state and the ability to control programs executing from CD-ROM or other
read-only media. The new Reset control will allow you to set up WinKillr as a
"watchdog", terminating programs on public-access machines that are left running
after users leave. A free demo version is available for download.
BailOut**
BailOut has a simple function - it gets you out of Windows with one double-click. No
mandatory confirmation dialog asking if your "sure"... Since BailOut uses the
"official" Microsoft API to initiate the exit sequence, all open applications
get a chance to inform you of files that may need saving. BailOut will NOT close with an
open DOS application in the session. If you'd like the BailOut icon to reside on the
desktop (i.e. outside of Program Manager), copy BAILOUT.EXE to your Windows directory and
add BAILOUT to the load= or run= line in WIN.INI. If you'd prefer to conserve your
"icon line" space on the desktop and regularly keep Program Manager and a
"favorite applications" group open, install BAILOUT2.EXE as a regular
application in this group. Starting it up will immediately initiate the Windows exit
sequence. BailOut is Freeware and can be freely used and distributed but not changed or
sold.
WinU*
WinU is our award-winning Windows 95/98 security access management system which includes a
simplified replacement user interface that's accessible to even the most novice users.
Deny access to unauthorized programs, prevent accidental or malicious system
modifications, monitor World Wide Web usage. Time limits, access restrictions, file system
control, network-based administration, logging, and reports. A free trial version of this
software is available for download.
Windows
95 Infrared Driver**
IrDA support enables Windows 95 users to use infrared waves to connect to peripheral
devices or other Windows 95-based PCs without using cables. This driver set provides your
Infrared-equipped laptop or desktop computer with the capability of networking,
transferring files, and printing wirelessly with other IrDA-compatible Infrared devices.
This driver includes a new feature called "IrLan Access Point Mode" which
enables a computer with an IrDA adapter to attach to a local area network (LAN) through an
access point device that acts as the network adapter for the computer. This is a free
download from Microsoft.
