| Description: | With Advanced Disk Catalog you should have no problem finding what you want quickly and easily. It is a utility for cataloguing and searching the contents of the media that stores your data, such as hard drives, floppies, CD-ROMs and Zip disks. Cataloguing your data means you don't have to perform lengthy, complicated searches when you need to access a particular file or document. Advanced Disk Catalog enables you to categorise different volumes, folders and files, and then add your own comments to these. The program also analyses compressed files (ZIP, ARJ, RAR, ARC, ACE, CAB and self-extracting executables), as well as descriptions from HTML files and ID3 tags from MP3 files. | ||||

| Eye of the Storm (Personal Edition) | |||||

system here:
|
||||
| Description: | Eye of the Storm tracks hurricanes and tropical storms. It uses a three-dimensional map to plot active storms, whose coordinates and characteristics (wind speed, direction, pressure, and so on) are retrieved from the Internet and automatically imported. This data can also be entered manually. Eye of the Storm calculates a storm's distance from your home location, or any preselected city. If your interests lie in meteorology, then Eye of the Storm could prove both useful and informative -- however, it helps if there is an active storm when using this program! | ||||

| GetRight 4.0 | |||||

|
Download the version for your operating
system here:
|
||||
| Description: | If you are an Internet user who downloads files regularly, then you should already be using GetRight. This hot little download utility makes the process of retrieving files much easier. GetRight automatically recovers download interruptions, which means you don't have start downloads from the beginning when errors occur. This can be particularly useful if you use a dialup connection. Using GetRight is as simple as clicking on the desired download link as usual, and then GetRight will take over from your browser. A list of alternative download locations can be formed for the one download and if you are downloading from a popular file archive, GetRight will try to download from the fastest location. You can also schedule file downloads to occur at a later time. | ||||
