Explorer Extensions Funduc Software, Inc. Copyright 1997-2000, All Rights Reserved http://www.funduc.com Thank you for your interest in Funduc Software's Explorer Extensions! Explorer Extensions allow you to perform additional tasks using a familiar interface: the Windows 95/NT Explorer. You can split and concatenate files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode UUENCODED, Base64(MIME), Binhex files (Decode also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text), touch files (change time/date stamp as well as attributes) New features in v1.0-2.4 include: - File Operations allow you to perform Rename/Copy/Move/Delete operations on the selected files. Complex masks can be used (see Help for details) and a Preview dialog is displayed to show exactly what changes will be made before they are made. - In the Touch dialog you can now add or subtract (use a negative value) seconds from the date/time stamp of selected files. - Support for file checksum generation, sorting by checksum and duplicate matching using file checksums. Output files can also contain checksum values. - Split can now be performed based on a string to be found in the file. The split can be made before or after the string is found. - Enhanced decoding and Quoted-Printable support for encoding - Dialog prompts if a disk should be cleaned before a split file can be copied (if necessary). - New About box with live Web and E-MAIL links. - Split creates BAT files for easy concatenation without using the extensions (perhaps on another machine). - New Directory Picker dialog. Features planned for future releases include: - Display and print statistics on files/folders selected. As part of the registration fee, you will also receive free updates and customer support for six months (by E-MAIL). For ordering information, see the help file or the About Box (on the system menu). Please send suggestions/comments to support@funduc.com Thank you, Mike Funduc, President Funduc Software Inc. http://www.funduc.com sales@funduc.com Other Funduc Software utilities that can be found at our web site (http://www.funduc.com) and other locations such as WUGNET's (Windows User Group Network) CompuServe forums (GO WINSHARE), the Simtel file archives (http://www.simtel.com) or America On Line include: Search and Replace for Windows 95/NT 3x (shareware) - Search and Replace looks through multiple files for a string and can also replace it with another string. It can search subdirectories and ZIP files and do case sensitive or insensitive searches. Extensive support for regular expression (egrep) search & replacement includes operations that span more than one line, insertion of the path & filename during replacements, and incrementing number replacements. Binary search & replace is also available. You can specify multiple include & exclude file masks as well as filters based on file date & size. Precise control over replacements is available through multiple confirmation options and a built-in context viewer that allows you to view replacements in-context before they are made. An easily understood script editor makes frequent &/or complex multi-step search/replace operations a snap to prepare. Script operations include a boolean expression evaluator that provides advanced decision making to determine which are processed by the script and full control over program options settings. The internal context viewer includes a build-in editor for editing text files. Other functions include: "Touch" files (change time/date stamp); Preservation of original file date during replacements; Replacements on backup path files instead of the originals; Output reports to monitor operations; Built-in editor for editing text files; Full compliment of command line switches; Shell extensions for the Win95/NT version to launch Search & Replace from Explorer and the Find Menu; and more. Separate executables for Win3x and Win95/NT and a detailed help file with examples are included. Complete German version and Japanese program interface are available. Cost: $25 Directory Toolkit for Windows 95/NT (shareware) - A multipurpose directory comparison and file manager that provides features missing from Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 or higher. It displays single directory lists or side-by-side directory comparisons using color coding for alike, different, or missing files. Comparisons can be based on dates or a binary file analysis of file content. You can copy, move, & rename files while retaining long filenames and six built-in synchronize functions simplify updating directories. Built-in archive functions, with Explorer shell extensions, let you create & manage archives from Explorer and use Directory Toolkit as your primary archive manager for supported archives (ZIP, TAR, & GZ). File operations and directory comparison functions work seamlessly on files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract files first. Other features include statistics for file counts and path sizes; Ignoring filename case during comparisons; Explorer compatible OLE drag n Drop; Split/Concatenate files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode UENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), and XXENCODE formats (Decode also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text); An integrated comparison viewer for a color coded display of the actual differences in files; Safe physical sort of directories; Touch files (change time/date & attributes stamps); Find duplicate files on a drive; Open files and launch applications; Multiple include/exclude file masks and the ability to include/exclude files based on size and date; Command line switches to automate comparisons & synchronize operations via batch files; Configurable output file and print functions to create reports of single and comparison directory lists; Detects & runs (optionally) setup programs in archives; File numbering to number files sequentially based on adjustable sort order and a user defined starting value. Help file with examples included. A complete German version and Japanese language module are available from http://www.funduc.com. Cost: $25 Shortcut Doctor for Windows 95/NT (shareware) - Shortcut Doctor allows you to check all your links/shortcuts and see which contain targets which can no longer be found. You can then delete the shortcuts, resolve them or replace all shortcuts pointing to a certain drive or directory with another (after validation of new path is made). Individual shortcuts can be edited and all shortcuts on a drive can be displayed, regardless of whether they are valid or not. CD-ROM drives or network drives can be ignored during processing. Cost: $15. HexView for Windows 95/NT (freeware) - HexView allows you to view, print, print preview of any file as a Hex Dump. HexView is intended as a free companion program to our utility, Search and Replace. However, it is a standalone application and you are free to use it as you see fit. The source code (C++ using MFC 4.x or higher) can be downloaded for free from http://www.funduc.com. INI to Registry for Windows 95/NT (freeware) - This program works well with any program that relies on .ini files. It can read the contents of any INI file and load them into the Windows 95/NT registry. That way programs which previously used INI files can read the old data from the registry. The program is free. The source code is available for 25. Please E-MAIL info@funduc.com for information on purchasing the source code. Decode Windows 95 Shell Extension (freeware) - This Explorer extension provides a subset of the decoding features available in Directory Toolkit. It allows you to decode a UUENCODED, XXENCODED, BinHex or Base64(MIME) file by simply right-clicking on it in the Explorer and selecting Decode from the menu. It supports multiple attachments, multi-part files (already concatenated), XXENCODED and User (table) encoded files in addition to UUENCODED, Base64(MIME) and BinHex (Mac format) files. Count Characters (freeware) - This little app was written to: a) Allow users to dump the contents of combo, edit and list boxes as well as static and button fields to the clipboard. This can come in handy for browser lists, as well as items displayed by other applications to which you otherwise have no access. b) To help users understand how applications are built (what types of controls are used). Other tools are available for this of course but they are usually known only to programmers. c) To allow users to know at any time how many characters they have typed in an edit box. This might be useful, for example, if a site asks you to only enter a certain amount of data in their fields but don't tell you that you went over until it's too late. Depending on the editor, html authors might also find this handy for double checking the length of meta tags. Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT versions included.
