Revision of Programs from Thu, 01/09/2005 - 18:11

Here are various programs you can download, just click on their name. They are all very small (the largest is no larger than 200 KB) and they're all freeware (except Snoop).

PictView 3.2.0

PictView is a very small picture viewer which supports bitmaps, GIFs, JPEGs, metafiles, icons and cursors. It has many features, including slideshow, fullscreen viewing, printing, soundfile preview, text viewer et al.

Memory Game 1.0.7

Memory Game is a very addictive game where you have to match two boxes of the same color. It is simple to learn but very fun to play.

Snoop 1.2

Snoop is a connection relayer with a twist. Other people can connect to snoop and view (only view, not send) the connection traffic remotely. Options include password authentication (this tool is used for MudTV). There are also two commands, "ban <ip>" and "unban <ip>". The banned IP list is not saved after exiting. This program is trialware, you can only have two clients connect to you in the trial version. You can have a practically unlimited number of people connect in the registered version.

Remote Infrared Control 1.0.4

If you have an IR (Infrared) port in your computer, you can use RIControl to control your applications using an ordinary remote control from a TV or stereo. IRControl is completely configurable (even contains its own scripting language), and with the integrated Artificial Intelligence, you can teach the program what the remote control buttons are. This means that the program does not have to have the buttons programmed inside it, but you can use any remote control you want!

LightFusion 2.2.0

p.LightFusion enables you to embed files in your executables, still leaving them executable. You can then use the Visual Basic module provided to extract the embedded files at runtime. If anybody could make any modifications to the module, fix any bugs, make it more efficient or write a module for another language, please send me the module along with a text file describing the changes you have made.

Word Game 1.0.0

Word Game is a simple yet addictive (have I said that before?) game, where you and the computer have to write one letter at a time taking turns. Whoever spells a word out first, wins. The concept of this game was by Nick Georgadonis.

TraP 1.0.0

TraP (stands for Tray Pager) is a very small program that resides in your system tray, allowing you to communicate with your friends. TraP currently has 2 text boxes, one for the IP address of the user you want to message, and one for the actual message. Type a message in the large box and press enter to send. Includes VB source code.

Postman 2.1.1

Postman is a very small e-mail checker and sender, which resides in the system tray. It checks your POP3 server for any new messages and alerts you if you have any NEW mail and tells you how many messages you have. It can also send "anonymous" e-mail using the built-in client. Featuring encryption, Postman never stores your password unencrypted. This ensures that noone will know your password but you.

Word Generator 5.7.2

This application is useful for generating names for stories, programs, etc. It has many options and produces some nice words. There is also names file support, and WordGen files, a special rules format.

Encrypter 1.0.0

Encrypter is a small application that encrypts files using strong RC4 (http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/3-6-3.html) algorithm, written by David Midkiff. Just enter the file, password, and select encrypt/decrypt. Don't use it to encrypt very important data, use PGP instead.

Net Workshop 4.5.1

Net Workshop is a collection of TCP and UDP servers, clients and relays, all in one application. Very useful if you want to troubleshoot your network or learn how other applications work. Featuring AutoUpdate, you can download the latest version without leaving Net Workshop's IDE! NetWorkshop now features Web Browser, FTP Client, File Transfer and Connections windows (shows currently open connections, listening ports, etc).

DLLReg

Does exactly what regsvr32 does. It doesn't uninstall .dlls though, I think.

Messager 3.0.0

Messager generates standard message windows with the title, caption and icon you specify. You can set the time at which the message window will pop up, and you can save the title, caption, etc., and reload it later. Messager now features scripting, enabling you to execute any VBScript command.

WoMan 3.1.0

WoMan is a fast Wordlist Manipulator (hence the name). It can sort a wordlist (sorting is lightning-fast, uses the QuickSort algorithm, one of the fastest available), kill duplicates, count words, randomize a file, convert wordlists, and more. All of the functions were written to be as fast as possible, but unfortunately the program has to load the entire file before it can process it (a good rule of thumb is to load files only as large as the system's RAM divided by 8). WoMan now comes with 6 32-bit console utilities which are about 40 times faster than the WoMan executable - Split, Join, Line counter, Duplicate killer, Text to Wordlist and Unix to DOS converter.

Anagram Solver 1.0.1

Anagram Solver is a program that will help you decrypt your anagrams. All you have to do is specify a wordlist and an anagram, and the program will search the wordlist and find all possible matches. The package contains three programs, Anagram Solver, Anagram Solver C edition, and Anagram Solver Windows C edition (MUCH faster).

RemBOt 2.1.0

Have you ever tried to use BackOrifice to fix a problem on a friend's computer, only to find that he doesn't know his I.P. address, and you don't like using Rattler because you don't like all that spam mail? Or, do you have BO installed in the computer at home and would like to access it from work, but you can't because it has a dynamic I.P. address? RemBOt is here to change all that. With RemBOt, you will be notified every time a BO server logs on, not by e-mail but by a message from RemBOt. You can also launch the BO Client directly from RemBOt.

EfEx 1.0.0

EfEx draws functions on the screen (e.g. Sin(x)). It is not meant to be a professional tool, but rather a program with which you can experiment with different types of functions. Type "h" on the screen to get the mini-help.

Psycho 1.0.2

Psycho produces psychedelic shapes using a randomization engine coupled with IntelliDraw technology. Click to generate, double-click to clear, right-click to exit.

Cat 2.0.3

Cat is a small server, connect to it at port 4132 and the commands are "get <filename>" and "end". Only accepts local connections.

ScreenOff 1.0.1

ScreenOff is a "boss screen". When run, it blanks the screen, so that it appears turned off, and it exits if you click the mouse. A good idea would be to create a shortcut to it, assign a hotkey to the shortcut, and stick a piece of painted scotch tape on the screen LED. That way, when you activate ScreenOff, nobody will be able to tell it's on, so stop turning the monitor on and off all the time when the boss comes in just to show that you are working instead of playing solitaire :)

Timer 1.0

Timer is a timer (duh).

Crypt

Crypt is a port of the Unix crypt(3) function to Windows, and is able to generate crypted passwords with salts. I didn't write this program, it was part of the Cygwin package. I merely compiled it using lccwin.

WavView 1.0.1

WavView is similar to PictView, but it is a .wav file "viewer". You just browse and it plays the files.

.INF File Generator 3.0

.INF File Generator generates setup .inf files.

.INF File Generator Gold 3.0

.INF File Generator Gold generates .inf setup files. It has many advantages over .INF File Generator. One of them is the ability to run progams after the installation displaying a small window with what setup does at that time. This way you can update help files, run the program so that the user can see it, etc.

Clicker 2.1.0

Clicker helps prevent strain on the wrist and fingers and decreases the possibility of CTS. This program clicks the left mouse button when you leave the pointer in the same position for an amount of time you specify.

HTML Uppercase Converter 1.0.4

Do you want your HTML tags in uppercase (or lowercase) but your WYSIWYG editor doesn't? Do you keep forgetting to press Caps Lock when writing HTML? This program is the solution. Convert ONLY the HTML tags in uppercase or lowercase, and fine-tune the file before you save it.

Saver 2.0.0

Some (read: many) programs do not support auto save. This program saves your work every X minutes, and all you have to do is specify when and give the application title (if you don't, the program saves your work in the current application). Note: If pressing Ctrl+S does not save in an application, Saver will not either!

AssKickr 1.0.0

Having read that some people have associated their .exe files with numerous programs, I decided to create AssKickr. AssKickr is very small, and it should be, because the only thing it does is launch .exe files. It is also distributed unzipped, so that it will run immedately. So, if you ever associate .exe files with a program, don't panic. You don't have to format your hard drive, you just need AssKickr to help you launch RegEdit and get rid of the association (hence AssKickr). Just replace the program that lauches every time you start an .exe file (the one you associated .exe files with) with AssKickr (this can even be done in DOS). AssKickr will then launch any file in its command line, effectively restoring Windows functionality back to normal. Don't forget to delete the association afterwards!

HTTP Functions Module 1.1

HTTPLib enables your program to parse HTTP server replies and generate request headers. This enables you to write programs that incorporate HTTP, and retrieve files from HTTP servers without writing any additional code. All you have to do is pass the server reply to a module function, and the function returns the file, headers (or both). The module can even compose basic request headers ("Accept", "User-Agent" and "Referer" supported).

Anagram Solver

Hey there, I'm trying to get the source code for the anagram solver program so I can fashion my own to my liking with different functions. It's only for my personal use, and I'm just trying to "figure it out". I tried my own way, but yours is way faster. Thanks in advance. Does it make a difference that I'm a soldier? :)

-ReKKeR

BTW:Did you program the original in C or C++? I'm trying to make one for VB.Net and VBS.

Oops...

Okay, I read the readme, so I see that you wrote the original in VB then the other two in C. So, you can disregard the last two lines of my message, but the main question still stands :) I did notice that it's under the GNU license, but I thought I had to have the source code in order to edit it? Thanks for putting up with a noob like me.

Re: Anagram Solver

Hmm, I thought I put the source in the setup file... It's nothing really, it just sorts the letters in a word ("word" becomes "dorw") and then sorts the letters in the words of the wordlist and checks them. I could give you the source but I don't really know where I put it (this program is more than 5 years old), so if this explanation isn't enough just ask me and I'll search for it.

INFGold

Could you please tell if WTF is it (I got this message when trying to launch INFGold after first time installing):

You have not bought this version of INFormation File Generator. Unless you remove this and every other version of the
program and its setup and documentation files you posess from all of your hard and removable drives (including diskettes and
CD's) you will be prosecuted.

This is for FIRST RUN of FREEWARE program???!!! OK, waiting for my prosecution :-)))))))))))

RE: INFGold

Haha, sorry about that, I made that when I was 14 or something. You can download .INF File Generator, it's the same thing but freeware (INFGold is the only shareware program on this page, probably). It generates .inf files you can use to install programs in Windows, you right-click on the .inf file and it copies your program to wherever you want, creates shortcuts and an uninstallation entry. This is a pretty nifty installation method, but I prefer NSIS.

INFGold

OK, thank you for your comment, but even as Shareware it should allow to test it before displaying such scary messages, moreover, it is listed at softpedia.com and all4you.dk/FreewareWorld as Freeware!
Regarding the purpose, I do know about INF files and also prefer NSIS but for codecs you still have to produce INF based IExpress installations

INFGen issues

Hi again,

Your INFGen is also a piece of not working garbage - here is what I get when trying to open the program:
=======================
The instruction at "0x0040aae6" referenced memory at "0x78600099". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
=======================
Moreover, I have to access "Program Files" folder and search for program folder as there are no shortcuts created anywhere!

What did you software get '100% clean award' on SoftPedia for?! How could they check it?!

Re: INFGen

I have no idea, they probably just extracted it and checked it for viruses. Most of these program are over 10 years old, written for Windows 95. Frankly, you're better off finding the template for .inf files and writing one yourself, since what this program does is automate the process a bit. The programs are unsupported, since I have no time to check them again :(

About Remote Infrared Control 1.0.4

I wonder if there's a contact point for this software. The web site, or the mail mentioned in the readme seem to be both out-of-date.
Can anybody help me with it?
After a deep research on the net, I found only this program and another one (not working), that can make use of the IrDA to receive commands from a IR remote control. I'd like to set it up, but the readme is not very clear.
Moreover, I'd also like to get some more technical detail about the algorithm used. It seems like it's using the standard serial communication control on VB6, isn't it? Can we get the source code, or the core logic used? I'm willng to integrate an IR control in one of my applications.

thanks
Fabio

Re: RIC

Yes, they rather are out of date, I haven't updated it since I made it, a few years ago. It is mine, though. Which algorithm would you like explained? It was just something I hacked together when I was bored one day, and it is using the serial control, you are correct. You can contact me through the "Contact" link to the right, though for some reason you have to be signed in for that. I'll look into changing that.
