Download the latest Windows 95 shareware from the Internet

It would be impossible for us to have the latest Windows 95 shareware and freeware on this CD-ROM. You’ll need to visit some of the sites in Table 33-2 if you want to find the latest software. We have included below a list of software that has come been released since we finished gathering software for this CD-ROM.

You can download this software from the Internet by double-clicking on the URL for the software given below. It may be the case that the URL for the software is out of date by the time that you attempt to download it. If your browser returns an error after you double-click a URL, you can still get to the file that you wish to download by "going up the directory tree." That is, shorten the URL in your Browser's URL display window from the right hand end back to the previous slash and press the Return key. Keep trying till you get to a displayable page. Use the guides on the page to get to the file that you want to download. You may have to think about just how to do that.

These lists and descriptions are taken with permission from two mailing lists that are associated with two shareware web sites: Tucows and Windows95.com. You can go to either of these sites and search for the file that your wish to download. Other sites can be found at our Windows 95 Secrets web site.

Lance Jones, the publisher of the In Touch: Win95 Software Edition mailing list, and who works in cooperation with Steve Jenkins at Windows95.com produced the first list and descriptions.

Scott A. Swedorski at Tucows produced the second list. I would suggest going to both of these sites and taking a look for yourself. Also sign up to be on their mail lists as per the instructions given below or at the site.

Windows95.com:  Category -- Anti-Virus & Disk Utilities

Description:

Safety Net is a great utility for backing-up critical Windows system files. The program has a default setting, which will copy all "DAT" (registry) files, "INI" files and "INF" files from both your windows and windows\system directories (the copied files can be placed either in a separate directory or onto a floppy diskette). Safety Net will also copy your "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat" files for safekeeping. When used in conjunction with a virus scanner, this application can help prevent countless hours of grief in the unlikely event of a total system "meltdown"!


VShield

Windows95.com:  Category -- Anti-Virus & Disk Utilities

Description:

McAfee has re-designed the classic VShield product for Windows 95. The application no longer requires the use of a DOS TSR, and the interface has been completely overhauled for the 32-bit operating system. Vshield provides "ON-ACCESS" scanning for computer viruses. This means that, once enabled, the program will provide real-time protection against the contracting and spreading of viruses. The scan options are extremely customizable via a VShield Configuration Manager, allowing you to scan files upon Run, Copy, Create or Rename; scan disks upon access or shutdown; scan particular types of files (program files, compressed files). The program demands a minimum of 8 MB of RAM, and 16 MBs would be optimal to maintain system speed.


ASAP WordPower

File Location: ftp:/ / 206.79.154.4/ asapzip.exe

Windows95.com:  Category -- APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Description:

ASAP WordPower is the standalone application which allows you to create slideshow presentations similar to those created with Microsoft's Power Point package. Text and graphics can be imported from documents or directories, and easily inserted into the pages of your presentation. The advantage of using this program over Power Point is the option to include the slideshow in your Web pages, and view it using the ASAP WebShow plug-in for Netscape. Use "Outline" to jot down your ideas using page titles, major points, and sub-points, see an overview of a presentation, change the order of pages, or spell-check the entire presentation. Use "Preview" to create pages visually: change the layout, design, and color scheme; add pictures such as clipart, a logo, a chart, and a background; add special text such as page numbers, headers, footers, picture captions, and lead-ins; or change the size and font of text. And finally, use "Present" to display a presentation on the computer screen. Context sensitive help is available.

Windows95.com:  Category -- Application Add-Ins

Description:

File Manager Jr. is an add-on for Microsoft's Word for Windows 95, Version 7.0. The application allows you to move, copy, delete and rename files without actually leaving Word. Files can be printed without having to open them, back-up files can be deleted in one or multiple folders and deleted files can be easily recovered. If you spend much of your time in Word, and perform more than a few file-management operations in a typical session, you'll find that File Manager Jr. is a handy alternative to Windows Explorer.

Windows95.com:  Category -- APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Description:

WetSock brings current weather conditions and forecasts to your Windows 95 desktop. The program places an icon in the system tray (by the clock), and when you access the Internet, it gathers current weather information from the National Science Foundation Weather Service server and brings it back to your desktop. Results include a current condition forecast (temperature, cloud cover, barometric pressure, winds, etc.), a two-day forecast and an extended forecast. WetSock is an innovative must-have for people who enjoy the outdoors, but take note that only U.S. weather information is currently available for download.

File Location: http:/ / www.intel.com/ IAL/ inston/ ion.zip

Windows95.com:  Category -- Automation Utilities

Description:

InstantOn was developed to take full advantage of an Energy Star compliant PC's power-saving features. When user or application activity cease, an Energy Star compliant PC goes into a low-power energy efficient state. InstantOn returns the computer to full power immediately, whenever required, and it provides power management, scheduling, and crash recovery capabilities. The application can perform activities that you schedule, and if necessary, wakes up the PC from a lower power state to perform those scheduled activities. This allows your computer to perform unattended network back-ups, virus scanning, system maintenance, online services data collection, etc. You can schedule actions to occur at certain times, on certain days, or in response to power changes or changes in the status of running applications. InstantOn can also restart applications after power failures or application crashes.  This capability can help restore your system to its previous operating state without your intervention.

Windows95.com:  Category -- COMMAND SHELLS

Description:

Command Line 95 is designed for people who like to use Windows 95 applications but miss the MS-DOS style navigation that command lines provide (used to provide). The graphical interfaces of new operating systems like Windows 95 have replaced MS-DOS commands with the mouse, allowing you to copy files, change directories and execute files with the click of a button. Although this may be easier for newer computer users, it can become slow and annoying for people who prefer the command line of days gone by. This application allows you "die-hards" to use commands and execute files as is done in MS-DOS, while staying in the graphical environment of Win95.


MS-DOS Prompt Shell Extension

Windows95.com:  Category -- COMMAND SHELLS

Description:

The MS-DOS Prompt Shell Extension adds an "MS-DOS Prompt" menu item to the right-click menu of all drives and folders (including the start button) in Windows 95 Explorer. This means that a right-click on a folder will open an MS-DOS window in the corresponding directory that you have selected. It's definitely a time saver, especially for DOS junkies!

Windows95.com:  Category -- COMMAND SHELLS

Description:

SuperDIR 95 is a complete replacement for the MS-DOS "DIRectory" command, which provides all of the usual features of the "DIR" command, plus a nice assortment of other useful features. Apparently, SuperDIR 95 is the only "DIR" replacement utility currently in existence which correctly implements the new long filename system of Windows 95, known as VFAT. The application will open an MS-DOS window and display the directory contents according to your specifications: it automatically maximizes the number of columns displayed, based on the current display format; it displays filenames in different colors, based on their file extensions; it displays files based on their file attributes; and it sorts files based on various criteria in either a horizontal or vertical direction.

Windows95.com:  Category -- Communications & Chat Clients

Description:

PGPfone (Pretty Good Privacy Phone) is a software package that turns your desktop or notebook computer into a secure telephone. It uses speech compression and strong cryptographic protocols to give you the ability to have a real-time secure telephone conversation. PGPfone takes your voice from a microphone, then continuously digitizes, compresses and encrypts it, and sends it out through a modem to the person at the other end who is also running PGPfone. All cryptographic and speech compression protocols are negotiated dynamically and invisibly, providing a natural user interface similar to using a normal telephone. Public-key protocols are used to negotiate keys without the need for secure channels. Before you can utilize the encryption features of this program, you must first obtain the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption module. It's available from the MIT Distribution site, located at:

http:/ / web.mit.edu/ network/ pgp.html

All you need to run PGPfone is a decent modem (28.8 Kbps V.34 recommended), and a multimedia PC running Windows 95, with at least a 66 MHz 486 CPU (Pentium  recommended), sound card, microphone, and speakers or headphones.

Windows95.com:  Category -- Communications & Chat Clients

Description:

RoundTable is a 32-bit chat client which allows you to share information with other RoundTable users over the Internet, via the ForeFront Conference Server program (located remotely). The program can be launched and seamlessly connected to the Conference Server from your favorite Web browser. To view or participate in a current Internet meeting, simply visit ForeFront's Conference Site using your browser, and click on the meeting of your choice. Your browser will then automatically launch RoundTable, ask you for your Nickname, and allow you to enter the meeting. This meeting window displays a "Meeting Roster", the "Chat Panel", and the "Canvas". The Roster lists everyone in the meeting; the Chat Panel is used to type your comments and read everyone else's; and the Canvas is used to share images, URLs and documents with other participants in real-time. Chat features include the ability to whisper to selected participants, to announce participant entry and exit, and to auto-scroll chat dialog. These topical meetings, in my opinion, are far more interesting than generic "free-for-all" chat rooms which tend to focus only on "small talk".


WinZip Disk Spanner

Version:        Beta

Size:           133Kb

Download Time:  Approx. 2 minutes with 14.4 modem

Developed By:   Nico Mak Computing, Inc.

Registration:   Freeware Beta

File Location:  ftp:/ / ftp.winzip.com/ winzip/ beta/ wzspnb32.exe

Windows95.com:  Category -- COMPRESSION UTILITIES

Description:

WinZip's "Multiple Disk Spanning" feature allows you to create and access archives that span multiple floppy disks.  This feature is useful when the data that is being archived (compressed or uncompressed) does not fit on one floppy disk.  It's normally available via the Add and the Drop dialog boxes, but until now, it has required the use of PKZIP and PKUNZIP. After installing this add-on to WinZip 6.0a, the application will no longer require PKZIP and PKUNZIP when working with archives that span multiple floppy disks. It may sound a little perplexing now, but features such as disk spanning are becoming extremely practical, and they create opportunities not available in a 1.44 megabyte world.

Windows95.com:  Category -- COMPRESSION UTILITIES

Description:

WinZip Self-Extractor is an optional add-on utility for WinZip that creates native Windows and Windows 95 self-extracting ZIP files.  A self-extracting ZIP file is an executable program file (.EXE file) that includes a ZIP file and software to extract or "unzip" the contents of the ZIP file. Users can run (execute) a self-extracting ZIP file just as they run any other program. These self-extracting ZIP files are ideal for electronic file distribution because they: can contain multiple compressed files, ensuring that important files do not become separated from the rest of the package; allow the receiver to use a familiar Windows interface to decompress files, without owning or knowing how to use a separate unzip utility; optionally run a "setup" or "installation" program, which may be included by the developer when the files are decompressed. Shareware developers will love this one!

Windows95.com:  Category -- Cursors & Icons

Description:

No, it's not the infamous virus! MicroAngelo is an outstanding icon, cursor, and animated cursor editing studio. The package contains five logical and wonderfully designed components: the Browser, Engineer, Librarian, Studio, and the Animator. The Browser helps you to locate the files on your system that contain icons. It has "intelligent" tabs in its main window that you can set to any drive and folder, and it quickly locates files of a particular type (i.e. icon, icon library, pointers, cursors, animated cursors). The Engineer is used to change the system icons on your Windows desktop, Start Menu, and other areas. It also provides a System Settings tab where you can choose among several options for your Windows 95 system configuration. The Librarian allows you to view, create, and manage libraries of icons. You can create new library files and then drag and drop icons or other libraries into the Librarian from Windows Explorer or from Microangelo's Browser. The Studio is used to create or edit icons and cursors. It provides a rich set of editing tools and controls that will help you edit icon and cursor images in all sizes and color formats. Finally, the Animator enables you to edit and create animated cursors. MicroAngelo is a "must have" for anyone interested in expanding on Windows 95 system graphics.

However, if you're a Netscape user and would like the "Connect To" dialog box to open whenever you run a 32-bit winsock application, this Windows 95 patch will do the trick. Instructions are not included with the file, so here they are:

*Download the AutoDial Registry Patch.

*If you don't have the file URL.DLL in your Windows\System  directory, copy the one included in this ZIP file to that location.

*Double-click on the AutoDial.REG file to apply the patch to your registry.

Description:

FPArchie is a fantastic Archie client for Windows 95. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Archie, it is essentially an index of anonymous FTP servers all over the world. If you are looking for a file, Archie is still probably the quickest way to locate it. Some Archie systems track archive sites globally, and others only track the archive sites in their country, region or continent (in order to reduce the load on trans-oceanic links). Client programs like FPArchie communicate via the "Prospero Distributed File System" protocol with Archie servers, and then perform the specified queries and return the results to the user. This application offers some extremely helpful features. It's multi-threading capability means that while FPArchie is busy, you can use your Internet connection for other purposes. It's easy to use because it utilizes the same interface as the file/folder "Find" applet in Windows 95. As the program collects data about the file you are searching for, it displays the information as it's received, and if you think you have enough, simply abort the query. Finally, FPArchie offers built-in FTP support, so when you've located the appropriate file, you can download it immediately with the Retrieve option. Give this one a try!

Description:

I mistakenly stumbled upon GearHeads, thinking it was a 32-bit game developed specifically for Windows 95. When I discovered the quality of the demo, I decided to include it in this week's digest anyway (after all, it is my publication ;^)). GearHeads is a game of battling wind-up toys. The first person to get twenty-one toys across your opponent's side of the playing field (looks like a chess board) wins the game. Each toy has a different weight, speed, style of movement and set of special abilities. Once a toy is released onto the board, you no longer control it. It's a 16-bit playable demo, but I highly recommend it!

Nanocore is a unique 32-bit spin-off from the "old" arcade favorite, BreakOut. It provides a virtual-reality-like 3-D environment which can certainly challenge the average person's depth perception. The quality of graphics is acceptable, the sounds is decent, and the concept is great. Mastering the game however, will depend on your ability to judge the bouncing ball's distance from your paddle. It's not easy!

Here's another wild game for Windows 95 that requires a T-1 connection for an acceptable download time. To quote Electronic Arts' description of the fast and furious demo: "A vast armada of alien warships unleash a deadly assault on the Earth. Taken by surprise, Earth's forces are crushed and only a small squadron of experimental fighters remain. The only chance for survival lies with you and a band of crack fighter pilots. Counterattacking from the orbital space carrier OMAHA, use of all your piloting skills to drive the Alien invaders out of Earth's cities, past the Moon, and back through the mysterious JumpGate from which they came!". Shockwave Assault runs in Windows 95 native mode, provides an easy-to-use interface, includes 50 minutes of "Hollywood" video, and showcases some stunning 3-D landscapes. This is a demo of their CD-ROM.

Description:

Silent Thunder is a new flight simulation game for Windows 95. You can take on drug lords, terrorists, and dictators in an A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter, and enjoy the mind-blowing 3-D graphics courtesy of Microsoft's new DirectDraw driver. As I write this I'm downloading the program, but I'll be unable to provide you with a description of my own. I didn't think the avid game players would appreciate me waiting until next week, so Sierra On-Line quotes: "Incredible in every detail, Silent Thunder has realistic worlds with texture-mapped terrain and 3-D objects, 3-D fire and explosions so real you'll taste the smoke and dodge the debris, and leading edge high-res SVGA graphics and red book audio sound. Easy to learn, but challenging to master, Silent Thunder provides high-impact entertainment for avid flight sim and arcade players alike!"

Description:

Slots of Trivia is a graphical slot machine game with a twist. It combines the excitement of a game of chance with the challenge found in a game of skill. In essence, the program is a slot machine crossed with "Trivial Pursuit". It's not often that I end up spending hours evaluating a piece of software, but this game is definitely addicting (it's a good thing no real money is required!). There are several versions of Slots of Trivia which can be added, in the form of new data files: general knowledge trivia, general sports trivia, baseball trivia, golf trivia, with more files being added each month. The slot wheel graphics correspond to the game being played, and there are a multitude of realistic sounds to add "casino atmosphere".

When you run the application, it places an exclamation mark icon in the desktop system tray (by the clock), and when it's clicked, a very business-like window pops-up. The window makes it appear as though you're working hard on a business presentation, instead of playing the latest and greatest 32-bit arcade adventure. When the boss leaves, simply click on the "Exit" button and resume your game playing. Please, no flames from department heads or managers -- I just report the shareware news!

Qubey, your penguin hero, must successfully bounce his way over pyramids of ice cubes, avoiding the inevitable perils and pitfalls which await him. This is one of the first games to utilize Microsoft's new DirectX gaming system, which must also be installed on your computer. Graphics, animation, sound and speech are all greatly enhanced through DirectX technology, and new games are sure to take full advantage of its capabilities. The registered version of Super Ice Qube Hopper even allows you to design your own levels. The DirectX set-up file can be found at:

Unfortunately, I did not have the time to download this monstrous application, but die-hard game players would certainly want me to include some information about it in this week's digest. WarBirds is a network-based, multi-player flight combat simulation, which provides full screen (1024x768x256) color graphics running at 20 frames per second on a 486DX4-100 (no hardware graphics acceleration is required). You can test your aviation skills against hundreds of online pilots as you fly over texture-mapped terrain or engage in historical air battle re-creations. I highly recommend visiting the homepage above, simply to ensure that you don't waste your time downloading what must be the largest game I've seen available on the 'Net.

Description:

Search And Replace is a 32-bit search utility that you can use to find and replace a given string in multiple files, across multiple directories. The unregistered version only allows you to search for text strings; the registered version enables you to replace some, all or none of these strings with another string. A "Touch" button allows you to change the date and time of the files you specify, and the "Search Results" list allows you to view the discovered files using the associated viewer, or the context of the line where the string was found. I attempted to look for occurrences of my own name across my entire hard disk drive. There were 3200 files to check, and the total time involved was a little over 2 minutes (I'm running a Pentium 75 with 8 MB of RAM). I would highly recommend this application to anyone who spends a lot of time processing Word documents.

Description:

ShoveIt is a helpful little utility which fixes a glitch on the Windows 95 desktop. This glitch occurs when the taskbar is placed on the top of the screen instead of on the bottom. Sometimes, after launching a new application, the opened program's caption bar appears underneath the Win95 taskbar. And since you can't click on the caption bar to maximize the window correctly, you must first hide the problematic taskbar and then proceed to maximize the application window. ShoveIt fixes the problem by watching for windows that are created with obscured caption bars and then by moving them so that they're visible. It can be set to automatically do this (every 5 seconds) or only on command.

The Small Utilities package definitely addresses the need for small, quick applications which eliminate specific inadequacies in the system utilities provided with the Windows 95 operating system. There is a "Note" utility which allows to quickly jot down ideas or reminders, a "Quick Browse" utility which enables you to explore directory trees and folders, a "ShutDown" utility which saves you from using the standard Start Menu, an uncompress utility and a hexadecimal conversion utility. Small Utilities is a time-saving, unobtrusive addition to the Win95 desktop.

Description:

StopLight is a terrific PC security system that provides maximum protection against an array of unauthorized user activities. The program provides a screen saver and keyboard lock that you can activate either by "hot key", Windows icon, or when the system is left unattended for a period of time. While the keyboard lock is active, your system will be secure from intruders, but existing programs will continue to run uninterrupted. If you allow access to your system, users actions are quietly monitored in the background and compared to a security set-up that you define. If the user should attempt to cross any security boundaries, such as accessing a restricted file, or attempting to reformat the hard disk, the system will deny the activity before any harm is done. Another attractive feature of StopLight is its ability to create an audit log, providing detailed system usage, such as programs that were run and files that were accessed. The audit log also records the time and date that users logged onto your computer. StopLight administration is done through the Windows 95 interface, and full context-sensitive help and step-by-step examples make security setup quite painless.

Description:

ACDSee is a combined 32-bit image viewer and browser. As an image viewer, the program is very efficient at quickly decoding and displaying many different image formats. A unique feature of ACDSee is its use of "incremental display", which means that images can be displayed on the fly as they're decoded. This simply translates into extremely fast response times for such operations as image scrolling and zooming. As an image browser, ACDSee provides you with a high-speed preview feature that lets you quickly and easily take a peek at images without interrupting or slowing down your search. The program also supports image file descriptions which allow you to annotate a file with a phrase, without actually changing the file name. Other features include the ability to quickly alter your desktop wallpaper pattern (JPEG or bitmap), full on-line help with tool tips and context-sensitive pop-up help, drag and drop support for viewing single and multiple files, and optional image-shrinking to fit various sized windows. This shareware app will not disappoint!

Windows95.com:  Category -- Graphics Utilities

Description:

Please note that it's necessary to download both of the above mentioned files. Vector Reality is a top-notch, 32-bit three-dimensional modeler and renderer. The modeler allows you to draw three-dimensional objects by utilizing three separate (two-dimensional) views: the top, right, and front views. The combination of these views enables you to manipulate the full range of three-dimensional motion. In Vector Reality the 3-D surface data is stored as a collection of polygons. The polygons form only an approximation of an actual surface, but by increasing the number of polygons in the approximation, the stored surface can be made to look more and more like an actual surface. The renderer takes the 3-D surface description of the modeler data and outputs a photo-realistic, shaded two-dimensional picture which appears three-dimensional. Many "materials" (metals, woods, etc.) can be applied to a surface to achieve this effect, and lighting can add yet another photo-realistic quality to the object. The demonstration version of Vector Reality does not allow you to save your work, and the working window has been reduced in size.

The program fully supports all Win95 features (i.e. long filenames) and it also supports a variety of fonts, colors and paragraph formatting in daily entries. The user interface strongly resembles an actual diary and it can be set-up to allow access to many users, without enabling access to each other's entries. You can easily search for particular text in single or multiple entries, browse entries by date or store all of your most important information (passwords, PIN numbers, account numbers) in the "Treasure Chest" without worry. Separate components such as an address/phone list a "to do" list with reminders really add to this application's functionality.

Scratch Pad is a terrific text editor with many features not currently found in other Windows WordPad replacement applications. The program allows you to jump directly to any line in your document by entering a line number. You can work with standard ASCII text files, Rich Text Format files, or Scratch Pad files (.SCT), which may utilize "bookmarks", colors, and fonts. The program enables you to differentiate between particular groups of files by assigning each group a different colored "folder". Scratch Pad regularly saves your entries, minimizing the risk of tragedy in the unlikely event of a power failure or hard disk crash (knock on wood). Another nice feature of this application is its OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) support, allowing you to insert a sound file (and more) right into your Scratch Pad document. The program is slick, but the help file is very limited.

Description:

BrainTree eBase/Mailer is a 32-bit E-mailing list manager. The program facilitates the management of multiple E-mail lists and helps streamline the tedious task of keeping them current. It's built with "relational database" technology, which means that when you add or change addressee categories, the list(s) that the addressee belongs to also changes automatically (category-driven mailings). The application was designed for mailings of any size, with no limit on the number of addressees on an individual mailing list. Because it's a real database, multi-user operation and single user operation are both supported. A nice feature of eBase/Mailer is its ability to create mailing lists out of other mailing lists, greatly simplifying the process of distributing E-mail to various groups within a company network (or within a circle of friends). Free use of this application requires online registration.

Description:

Eudora Light is the freeware version of Eudora Pro 32-bit, and it's definitely worth the download time. The interface will be very familiar to current Eudora users, except for the initial set-up and configuration routine. Not to worry, the once tedious task has been replaced with a more intuitive and graphical rendition. New features of the program include a native, fully compatible 32-bit version for the Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems. Context-sensitive online help allows you to click on items in the user interface, and then read brief explanations of what the items do. "Active URL s" automatically open your World Wide Web browser and then take you to the selected URL -- great for reading my digest!. There is a new Dial-Up option for setting-up connections, and a handy feature which allows you to switch between messages by using the Ctrl+arrow keys. A floating toolbar can be placed anywhere on your desktop, and a "New Mail" icon displays the number of new messages in the Win95 system task tray. Very nice application!

As far as mail clients go, Pegasus Mail and Eudora are the top contenders, and now both programs are available in 32-bit form. I couldn't decide whether or not Pegasus Mail was a "new application" or a "old application update", since this version is identical in appearance, user interface and function set to the 2.30 16-bit release. It should be regarded as a starting point for further development, because it does not yet take full advantage of the features of the Win95 interface.

Description:

ProPGP is a 32-bit front-end for creating "Pretty Good Privacy" (PGP) files that can be sent encrypted over the Internet. The program was designed so that someone knowing no PGP commands could still achieve the desired encryption results with ease. Almost all options in PGP 2.6.2 are supported (the current standard),including such operations as adding public keys to your "keyring" and viewing "fingerprints". ProPGP will even allow you to encrypt data from the Windows 95 clipboard (a future version will enable you to actually decrypt it again!). Please note that this application does not include the PGP program needed to encrypt/decrypt data. It must be obtained from an FTP site on the Internet due to copyright laws -- one such location is http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html -- MIT's page allows U.S. and Canadian residents to obtain a copy of PGP. Here is a quote from their Web page:

        "PGP or Pretty Good (TM) Privacy is a high-security cryptographic software application that allows people to exchange messages with both privacy and authentication. Privacy means that only those intended to receive a message can read it. By providing the ability to encrypt messages, PGP provides protection against anyone eavesdropping on the network. Even if a packet is intercepted, it will be unreadable to the snooper.

        Authentication ensures that a message appearing to be from a particular person can have originated from that person only, and that the message has not been altered. In addition to its support for messages, PGP also enables you to encrypt files stored on your computer. MIT distributes PGP free for non-commercial use. This distribution is done in cooperation with Philip Zimmermann, the author of PGP, and with RSA Data Security, Inc., which licenses patents to the public-key encryption technology on which PGP relies."

Description:

Cool Edit was probably the best sound processing shareware that I had ever tried. The 16-bit version has now given way to Cool Edit for Windows 95, and the 32-bit version is even more amazing. Keep in mind that this free evaluation provides all of the features of the regular version, but you can only use certain features at the same time. If you're looking for a utility to play and record basic sounds (i.e. your voice), stick to the Win95 Media Player. If, on the other hand, you're in need of a flexible, robust sound editing and synthesizing application, give Cool Edit 95 a try. Some of the features include the ability to synthesize just about any sound using the noise and tone generation functions, sample rate conversion, the ability to use any sample as an "instrument" and set it to music (like a dog barking Jingle Bells, or Tarzan yelling a national anthem), no restrictions on the size of the wave sample other than your hard drive limitations, support for PCM, Microsoft .WAV, Sound Blaster .VOC, raw PCM, ASCII Text, AU, and Apple AIFF, continuous echo of all or part of a sample, a built-in CD player when the [MCI] CD Audio driver is loaded, and the ability spatially locate sound sources to appear as if they are coming from different directions. The Help file is user-friendly and explains all of the functions of Cool Edit in wonderful detail.

QuickTime For Windows 95 is the new 32-bit version of Apple's proprietary movie player. A QuickTime movie is a file that can contain video images, animation and sound, and it consists of a series of still images played in succession (frames). There is a host of third-party programs which let you play QuickTime movies within ordinary documents, such as word-processing files, spreadsheets, and presentations. To achieve the best performance for viewing movies, they should be played from your hard disk or from a CD-ROM disc (movies on floppy disks should first be copied to your hard disk before playing them). Also included in this package is Picture Viewer, which allows you to view a "picture file" (a DOS file containing a QuickTime for Windows picture, characterized by the DOS suffix ".PIC"). You can zoom in and out, print, copy, and get information about a picture, and if it's compressed, Picture Viewer will automatically uncompress it (maintaining excellent image quality and color). Visit Apple's website (above) to see some examples -- and please keep in mind that this is not Apple's QuickTime VR.

Each week I attempt to provide you with information about the best 32-bit shareware applications available on the 'Net. There have been a few instances where I have missed or overlooked a terrific program, and Remotely Possible/32 is just such an instance. The program is a wonderful 32-bit remote control communication software package. It has a built-in dialler for direct modem connections, and it supports TCP/IP for connecting over LAN's, WAN's, SLIP, PPP, RAS and the Internet. Remote communication applications are ideal for people who need to access a PC over any distance (i.e. customer support and help desk reps, home office professionals, telecommuters, classroom trainers, etc.). Remotely Possible/32 includes several programs which allow you to edit access codes to provide security, change user preferences, remotely control several PCs, transfer files among multiple PCs, and even establish interactive chat sessions. Online context-sensitive help is always available and the Quick Steps tutorial does a fine job of explaining the multitude of features in the package.

Internet Conference is definitely a "killer app", and it offers a glimpse at the next step in Internet communication. The application combines the familiar Internet chat with the ability to share Web images, documents or pictures over the Internet or any TCP/IP network. The Internet Conference "whiteboard" then allows you to scribble, postulate or debate issues and ideas, the same way you would with a piece of paper or on an office whiteboard. Shape tools allow you to draft concepts and ideas quickly and easily, and Internet Conference can also be expanded to include voice communication through "Internet Phone" from Vocaltec. Even video could be added to this application via the "CuSeeMe" product. The interface has the standard Windows 95 look and feel, including button bar, menu, toolbar and context sensitive help. This is a program which opens up a whole new world of visual communication through the Internet and the World Wide Web. The only downside is its powerful, addictive quality -- Internet chat will never be the same.

Description:

Here is a beautiful application for all of you experienced or aspiring Win95 software/shareware developers. HS-Install is a tool for constructing software installation programs. It provides a simple, yet intuitive way for developers to create functional set-up programs using a familiar Windows 95 interface-style set-up wizard. HS-Install was developed for Windows 95, but it can generate an install program for Windows 3.1x as well. Noteworthy features include selective installation of components for a multi-component application, use of your logo, bitmaps, and billboards during installation, wizards to guide the design and set-up process, creation of multiple directories on different drives, full updating of the Windows Registry, the ability to launch help files, text files, and any other application at any time during or after the installation, the ability to intelligently update or modify system files, AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, private and system INI files, and completely integrated uninstall capabilities. The generated set-up package can be as small as 80 Kb, depending on your chosen options, and the small overhead leaves more space on the installation floppy disks for your own files (reducing the number of diskettes needed for distribution).

Description:

The Amazing JPEG Screen Saver is a neat utility for Windows 95 which allows you to customize your screen saving session with any of your own JPEG images. A set-up dialog box is used to select the JPEG file, and the program can be configured to load the images progressively, so there is no waiting. In other words, the image starts off in low resolution, and then the quality improves until maximum resolution is obtained. The utility works on both 256 color and True Color displays, it automatically changes images after a specified time period, there are different image movements from which to select, and automatic image re-sizing is available. Beware, the unregistered version includes a banner that remains on the screen while the screen saver is activated.

Desktop Informant can display details for any file shown on the desktop, in folder windows, in Explorer windows and in open dialogs. The program will also work with any application that uses the new list view control. Enjoy this free time saver!

Windows95.com:  Category -- Shell Enhancements

Description:

Dir3D creates a 3-D representation of your hard disk. It's been designed as a direct replacement for the Windows 95 Explorer interface, and the program will allow you to perform all of the same functions as Explorer. The application uses a three-dimensional user interface to give the illusion of moving freely (even flying) about the inside of your hard disk or network directory. Dir3D uses the OpenGL graphics libraries available with the 32-bit versions of Windows to render the 3-D images in real-time, creating and updating your virtual world as you manipulate files and directories.  Sound effects are also available to increase the realism of this completely imaginary simulation. Dir3D shows the directory structure of your hard disk as a series of tall rectangular solids that resemble buildings. When Dir3D first starts, it displays the root directory in front, followed by all the sub-directories of the root. Because all of the images in Dir3D's world are created dynamically, you can change the appearance of your virtual world any way you like. Colors, spacing, sizes, lighting, movement, and sound options are all completely user configurable. Quite a concept!

Also included is Icon Plus!, a program that views Windows "icon" (.ICO) files and SearchIT, a utility that enables you to quickly scan a disk drive for duplicate files. File Search 95 utilizes Help buttons and is very easy to use.

Windows95.com:  Category -- SHELL ENHANCEMENTS

Description:

This PowerToy is installed and used like a printer driver, and it allows most Windows applications to generate HTML files that do not support a "Save As HTML" option. Text that would have been sent to a printer is actually intercepted and written to a file with an .HTM extension.  Embedded bitmap files (.BMP) are converted and written to JPEG (.JPG) files, with pointers embedded in the .HTM file.  The .HTM file is then suitable for publishing on the World Wide Web and for viewing by a variety of Web browsers, but in some cases it may be necessary to hand edit the HTML file to produce optimal output. Interesting features include the ability to convert columns and tabs into HTML tables, support for HTML tables within tables (only when using Internet Explorer 2.0), the option to auto-launch your favorite Web Browser, horizontal rule placement between pages, complete text formatting retention, and support for long filenames. It's quite a lot of power for such a small package.

The Telephony Location Selector (sounds like serious business!) PowerToy is a must for anyone who uses Microsoft's telephone dialer application from several geographical locations (e.g. from a laptop computer). The program places an icon in your TaskBar notification area, beside the clock, and a series of menus will pop-up when the icon is double-clicked. These menus enable you to quickly change your current TAPI location, to bring up your current dialing properties, or to run the Phone Dialer.

WrapUp provides a logical extension to the Win95 desktop. It functions in the same manner (but in the opposite direction) as the StartUp group in your Start Menu, but instead of automatically launching programs when Windows is begun, WrapUp automatically executes applications that you specify upon Windows "ShutDown". This can serve many useful purposes, such as automatic backing-up of your PC's hard disk(s), logging out of your PC network (LAN), accessing your favorite online stock-quote system and retrieving your latest stock prices, sending queued E-mail messages, or ejecting the CD-ROM disk from your drive. WrapUp will also close any open applications on your desktop, providing a safe and efficient system shutdown.

When you click on the icon, you are presented with a list of the icons which reside on your desktop (with the exception of My Computer, Recycle Bin, Network Neighbourhood, and InBox). Selecting one of the menu items has the same effect as double-clicking on the desktop icon. The reasoning behind this is clear: it eliminates the need to minimize windows or move them around when you wish to launch an application from a desktop icon.

RipBar is an icon toolbar which offers a wide array of features. It combines an application toolbar, command line launching, drag and drop server, memory and system information display, post-it style notes, and hot-key support in a compact and unobtrusive package. Files may be dropped onto the application icons (which you set-up) sitting on the bar, causing the application to launch and open that particular file automatically. In addition, RipBar supports attaching sound to certain types of events, hot-key activation, program groups and more. Tools of particular interest include a system information tool, a clock tool, a resource tool, a memory tool, a task manager tool, a resource tracker, a notes tool, a RUN tool, and a disk tool. RipBar can be likened to a Swiss Army knife of desktop applications.

HTML Author has to be one of the smallest standalone HTML editors that I have come across. It's a 32-bit application which offers a nice selection of features, combined with a "no nonsense" user interface. It supports all HTML 2.0 tags and Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 extensions, as well as most Netscape Navigator extensions (who can keep up with Netscape's changes?). The program offers intelligent tag formatting, allowing you to select the text to be formatted, and then implementing the desired change with the click of a single format button. "Tag Wizards" are available for more complicated tags, including font changes, extended horizontal rules, images, dynamic images (.AVI and .MOV files), links, marquees and forms. There is even a customizable tag list, allowing you to add, remove and modify the supported tags. HTML Author is small, robust and free. Anyone looking for these features in an editor would be silly to overlook this one.

Description:

Egor Animator is wonderful application which lets you add animations and sounds to your Web pages through Sun Microsystem Inc's Java programming language. But you don't have to be familiar with the complexities of Java because this is a visual editor. Instead of displaying only static graphics, you can now bring your pages to life with relative ease, and even if you lack the time or talent to create your own graphics, the program provides you with several pre-built animations in a Samples directory. Egor has two components: the Windows front-end (EGOR.EXE) for creating animations, and the Java applet (anim.class) for displaying them. To create an animation, you must first design a GIF or JPEG file for each frame in the animation. The behavior of the animation can then be set with an Effects dialog box, the Preview button allows you to see how the animation will look when viewed by a Web browser, and a Compile button generates HTML source code that you can paste directly into your favorite HTML file editor. Very cool program!

With WebThing, you can create Web pages and preview them on all available browsers, interactively edit Web page resources and appearance, import full-featured text, tables and outlines into your Web page, with table structure, indentation, font color, size and face preserved, create interactive forms that launch programs to do things not possible in HTML alone, and neatly organize a set of Web pages with associated graphics, sound files, and various other resources. WebThing supports many of the HTML tags currently in use, and it can be customized to include any specialized tags that you desire (or any new tags that come into use in the future). Nice job, Paul!

Moondo features VRML rooms and avatars, audio chat, customizable avatars, multiple views of the virtual world (different "camera angles"), and URL-based browsing of distributed Moondo servers world-wide. Once your Moondo client is connected to a room, it enables you to view the virtual room and all its occupants, move around in the virtual environment, and chat (audio, text or both) with others in that same virtual space. Everyone's avatar position is updated as they move around. Unfortunately there were no occupants in the main Moondo room when I visited, but the features of the program were simply incredible. The application is RAM-hungry, so please remember to close any open windows if you're running 8 MB, or your hard disk will tire quickly of continual swapping.

Unlike traditional spell-checking software, Power Spell recognizes text as "correct" when it is in the form of E-mail addresses, World Wide Web addresses, Newsgroups, filenames and extensions, directory and subdirectory names, and even emoticons. This feature in itself saves considerable time and effort. CyberSpell's spelling database has over 159,300 words, including 2,600 technical and computer-related words, 2,200 names of well-known companies and products, as well as 8,500 legal, financial, business, and insurance terms.

Cyber Patrol is an excellent Internet access management utility that also manages application usage from a PC. The program allows parents and teachers to control the display of some materials found on the 'Net. After all, the Internet is an open environment, and this means that "it has the same mix of good and bad as you see in the world around you."Programs such as Cyber Patrol let you "censor" what is viewed on a computer by children, students, or even employees, and this is a much more viable solution than allowing governments to exercise such control over content. Cyber Patrol loads during start-up and runs in the background to control access to all associated applications. With the program, you can block access to possibly offensive Internet sites and chat groups, use the "CyberNOT" list of sites to make access decisions, restrict access to certain times of the day, limit total access time for each day and each week, control access to major on-line services, and even control access to applications on your PC, such as games and personal financial managers. All restrictions can be bypassed with a password, and system security is fully configurable to suit your needs.

Noteable features of the program include the ability to store searches that you may want to use again as icons in the iSeek window, the ability to assign a graphical icon to represent the search (and then visit the locations by double-clicking the icon), and the ability to embed iSeek icons in word processing or spreadsheet documents for others to use. There is an Explorer-style toolbar with the standard Edit and View buttons, and buttons for inserting searches and locations and changing their properties.

Description:

MovieStar is a compact Netscape plug-in for Windows 95 that lets you view QuickTime movies embedded in any World Wide Web page. Although several plug-ins are already available for viewing QuickTime movies, the MovieStar plug-in is unique in that it allows you to view QuickTime data in a "streaming" format. This means that a continuous stream of data is loaded into your Web browser, enabling you to view the movie (video and sound) without delay or lengthy download times. Embedded movies created by other applications can be viewed normally by the MovieStar plug-in or they can be saved as streaming movies with the "MovieStar Maker" (not included here -- available at http://www.beingthere.com/). In addition, MovieStar Maker movies can be viewed without streaming by other QuickTime viewer plug-ins, eliminating the risk of alienating Web site visitors who don't use the MovieStar plug-in. Please keep in mind that you'll require the 32-bit version of QuickTime for Windows to make use of this plug-in (http://quicktime.apple.com/emmys/QT32INST.EXE).

Description:

This helpful freeware utility from Microsoft was designed to convert Netscape users to Internet Explorer users. The program adds Bookmarks from Netscape Navigator into the Favorites menu of MS Internet Explorer without modifying the original Bookmark file. With recent news of an Alpha version of I.E. on the horizon (supporting Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic Script, HTML 3.0 and Frames), you'll have no excuse not to "convert"!!  ;^)

Description:

URL2Net is an intuitive utility which allows you to capture addresses of Internet resources, World Wide Web pages or FTP sites from any document (i.e. an E-mail message). Once an address is captured, it can then be easily added to your Netscape bookmarks, Internet Explorer favorites, or Win95 desktop Shortcuts. URL2Net will also save the Internet addresses in a number of formats for use in other World Wide Web browsers and Internet tools. Let's say you received an E-mail from a friend which gives the URL and a description of a terrific new Web site. You could highlight the entire message, save it to the clipboard and then launch URL2Net.

The program decodes the information in the clipboard using "IntelliParse", separating the verbal description of the Web site from the URL. It sounds a little complex, but the end result is a finely tuned collection of Internet resources including full descriptions of the sites. Context

sensitive help is available for most URL2Net features.

Description:

WebAnalyzer is graphical tool used to examine the structure of an entire Web site. When you enter the URL for the first (or index page) of a Web site (remote or local), the application scans and displays all of the "nodes" and their contents for the site, including links to external sites and broken links. WebAnalyzer displays the link information for web sites in a variety of ways: in concentric circles centered from the index page, by displaying the inward and outward links for a selected node in the current Web site and by showing details for each node referenced in the Web site (i.e. node size and type). Nodes may be any of the following file types: documents, pictures, video, audio, applications, FTP, GOPHER, "mail-to" items and unknown content. In the Node List view, the nodes appear according to type in this order. A unique feature of WebAnalyzer is its ability to generate a report for a Web site, which includes complete information about a site and a summary of the information in the WebAnalyzer views. A report is comprised of a series of linked HTML documents which you can view in your browser. Be sure to take a good look at this app!

Description:

CyberPilot Pro is a promising new "browser accelerator" for Windows 95. The program is used to create a "WebMap", which shows you an entire Web site in an easy-to-understand, visual format. The WebMap includes graphical, icon-based representations of the objects in a Web site, such as HTML pages and graphic images; audio, video, and program files; Java, PDF, or Word files; Internet services such as gopher and FTP; and so on. It also displays the objects in a hierarchical view that represents the relationships between the objects, allowing you to quickly and easily navigate a site. CyberPilot Pro works seamlessly with your browser (Netscape Navigator 1.2, 2.0 or later; Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic 2.0; Internet Explorer 2.0 or later), and when you double-click an item in a NetCarta WebMap, the program loads the selected page or object into your Web browser. You can create WebMaps of your favorite sites, or you can use the growing number of WebMaps that are already integrated into the sites you visit (i.e. Lycos Search). If a site includes hyperlinks to other sites on the Web, you can use the same WebMap to explore those sites too. CyberPilot Pro is very efficient at saving online time, and it adds a whole new dimension to Web page navigation.

Notebook is a useful text editor which most closely resembles "NotePad" for Windows 95. I receive many requests for information about new text editors and this program offers some nice enhancements to the somewhat limited, standard Win95 text editor. NoteBook will open much larger files than NotePad, and it offers full font and color selection (it will even save your settings). It features a toolbar, complete with context-sensitive help balloons. The program supports drag and drop text editing, allowing you to move text simply by holding the left mouse button down on the selection, and then dragging it to its new location (text can be copied by holding the CONTROL key down before dragging). Notebook supports overtype mode and insert mode, as well as selected text only printing and saving.

Windows95.com:  Category -- N/A

Description:

Internet Party Line is an extremely innovative new application from the makers of the Pentium chip. It's a multi-party audio chat program designed to work over relatively low-bandwidth connections such as the Internet. It's something like using an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) style of conversation with audio replacing text! Instead of trying to mix audio from each participant in real-time (what a mess that would be), Internet Party Line queues statements and plays them one at a time.  This way, a group of people can audio chat without taking turns speaking. The program is actually implemented by two applications: IPARTY.EXE (the client) and IPARTYD.EXE (the server). You can run just the client, or choose to host Internet Party Line sessions by running the server as well. It's a little difficult adjusting to the fact that you can talk into your microphone while someone else is speaking. When you push the Talk Button, playback through your speakers stops until you release that button, at which time playback resumes where it left off, so you won't miss anything. And because Internet Party Line sessions are named by URLs (Universal Resource Locators), you can advertise your hosted sessions via your own Web page. Pretty cool stuff!!

WinStock allows you to set-up and track stocks in a portfolio format, and it provides you with the ability to search for the ticker symbol of a stock you don't know.

TransX95 runs in a DOS window, but your mouse will remain functional. Be sure to examine the README file because the Help file is only available for registered copies.

To take advantage of ISDN's speed, your Internet Service Provider, corporate LAN, or online service will need to support ISDN and the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Most telephone companies now offer ISDN, and it works over existing telephone lines.

LifeSaver is a configuration file back-up and restore utility, which can be used to recover from problems due to corrupt configuration files, or changes to configuration files which can not be undone (this can be very unpleasant). Configuration files are most often modified by installing new software or hardware, and automated restoration of these files should only be done as a last resort if you can not manually restore them to a previous state (or if they have become corrupt). With this application, you can back-up and restore up to seven different configuration files, run it from a command line with scheduling programs, restore files from the command prompt (DOS) mode, and save up to 10 back-ups. LifeSaver also provides the "What's This?" help system, courtesy of the right mouse button. Please note: this program requires the VB4.0 RunTime Library. It can be downloaded from ftp://members.aol.com/aerofiles2/vb4_32.zip if you're unsure whether or not you have it.

There is also a catalog of 35 pre-designed cards to choose from. An intuitive text editor allows you to personalize any verse, type your own verse or type a personal text message to the recipient. You can then very easily record a personal voice message and proceed to deliver the card via E-mail. The "Send" function automatically packages and compresses your card together with the auto-playback code into a single .exe file, allowing immediate playback with the click of a button. If you wish to examine one of the greeting cards, a Valentine's Day demo is available at ftp://kmmc.harvard.net/pub/valent-1.exe (approx. 282 Kb).

The application gives you a fast, high quality view of the file, allows you to print the file, and enables you to copy all or part of the file to the clipboard for use in other applications. It does this for over two-hundred types of files (document formats, spreadsheet formats, database formats, graphic formats, presentation formats, compressed formats, DOS EXE, Windows 16-bit EXE or DLL, and Windows 32-bit EXE or DLL), without requiring you to own the original application that created the file. It makes the chore of passing files, memos and worksheets from one system to another very easy.
