Absolutely excellent piece of freeware.

NOT freeware ........ Liscence Beerware*

a beer, right?

Yea, that's a known problem. I put a note in the readme.txt about it. You
can use the 18K version, which is also included in the zip.

Since I've yet to get the first <hic!> beer out of it, it's really Freeware.

Jo's got a case of the no-talkies. I know those symptoms anywhere.

In the tickle trunk today:

QFS: 30 kb zip

[ 2. What is QFS? ]

"QFS is a tiny Visual Basic program that fast searches on the "Favorites"
directory for a string in the name (or in the URL) of your Internet's
shortcut files. It can also read Netscape Navigator and Opera bookmark
files.

The program was written because the fact that, although one maintains a
structured and sorted favorites folder, it's lots faster to search for a
favorite than navigating the long structured favorites tree.

If you have hundreds or thousands of favorites, try QFS! It's is worth
downloading and trying! The download is only 30KB."


Dr. TCP: 24 kb unzip and run exe

"DR TCP - A windows utility for modifying your TCP stack. But: use DrTCP
only in conjuction with the advice from the Tweak Test."

TCP View: 43 kb unzip and run exe

" TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of
all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote
addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows NT, 2000 and XP
TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint.
TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of
the Netstat program that ships with Windows. The TCPView download
includes Tcpvcon, a command-line version with the same functionality.

TCPView works on Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 98/Me"

IP2: 9 kb unzip and run exe

"Primarily designed for users of "always on" Internet connections who use
hardware NAT routers, IP2 is a small program that you can use to
determine your true Internet accessible IP address. Unlike traditional IP
utilities that only show your computer's LAN IP, IP2 will show you what
your IP address is from the perspective of an "outsider" on the Internet
and is essential if you need to provide somebody with your true Internet
IP address when your PC is working behind a router. Shows both WAN and
LAN IPs, computer name and DNS name, all of which can be easily copied to
the clipboard."

Neutron: 6kb unzip and run exe

"Neutron is a very simple and small time synchronizing program that
retrieves the accurate time from one of several specialized time servers
on the Internet. Once the network time has been retrieved the program can
set your computer's clock to match it"

Volumouse: 34 kb unzip and run exe

Volumouse provides you a quick and easy way to control the sound volume
on your system - simply by rolling the wheel of your wheel mouse.
It allows you to define a set of rules for determining when the wheel
will be used for changing the sound volume. For example: You can
configure Volumouse to use your mouse wheel for volume control when the
Alt key is hold down, when the left mouse button is down, when the mouse
cursor is over the taskbar, and so on...

v 1.2.0 seems to be the LFW. Maybe one of ACF's expert searchers can up
a *free* link that works. Anyone?
Click to expand...
If not one of the Freeware or LFW sites might host it. Not the best time
to get an answer from some of those guys. REM's heading into finals.
Burnr's ISP conked out just as he was about to upload the new look for
PL2005 (last I heard he hoped to be online again fairly soon).

I made it to the top of the hill. Most reports and project work are
in. Now for the finals!

I searched awhile and all web pages linked to the jester site. A file
search for "Multi-Program-Launcher.exe" yields nothing. Either the
author did not allow redistribution (possible, since it went $) or no
one picked up and archived it before the jester site went down.

That shouldn't be hard to replicate though.

NaDa™ is a new concept. A thought, really. It is very light : 1 byte. It
doesn't take long to fetch. It doesn't take long to understand. It
doesn't disturb your habits nor does it makes you feel insecure. It is a
reassuring piece of software that does nothing, and does it very well.
Click to expand...

Contrary to what it proclaimed, it made me feel insecure. Nor is it so
simple to understand. I have been concentrating on its nature all day,
even repeating its name, for a mantra, yet enlightenment still eludes
my grasp.

Review summary : Two+ hands. (Best possible score: one hand clapping)

What's your favorite easy to use Freeware? Bonus points for small,
no-install, no registry entries. A couple of mine:

Unknown devices:

http://www.halfdone.com

"Unknown Devices helps you find what those unknown devices in Device
Manager really are.

By checking Device Manager for unknown devices and extracting
information from it, this program attempts to figure out what the
device is. You might not have to open your case or look up random
numbers off of PCI cards to figure out what they are.

Program supports Win95, 98, 98se, Me, 2k, XP and 2003 but not NT. It
also attempts to support future OSes.

It runs fine from a CD or floppy. It's free for per personal and
(especially) business use. If you want to add it to a cd collection or
magazine that is fine, just drop me an email."

307k exe, no install, reads 430k text file for device info.

One I use at every session is Multi-Program-Launcher. It's a 40k no
install program which allows you to launch up to five programs, with
arguments, after which it shuts itself down. I know that there are
other programs of this type which will do more, but not for 40k, I
suspect :-) It's a model of simplicity.

Sadly, it no longer seems to be hosted anywhere and the contact email
given in the program cannot now be resolved. So it's an orphan, but I
can upload it to the binaries group if anyone should want it.

Oh, you have a copy. Email it to me and I'll add it to the web site.

I ended up reading the thread backwards somehow. Top posters are to
blame <G>.
 
I might have missed it, but you found this one too I think:

BDV Notepad v4.1
Click to expand...

I like the "sticky" find/replace edit boxes, config, fonts, etc. Features
you use often are always there, seldom used features are out of sight. This
is a unique feature. I'm trying to talk the author into a high bit ASCII
filter to instantly delete all the "›œ¼±´»¿ÀÆÇÈÍ" sometimes found in DIZ and
NFO files.
