Program: nnCron LITE
--------
Category: Reminders: Automation (?)
---------
Ware Type: Freeware
----------
Home Page: http://www.nncron.ru/#nncronlt
----------
Author: nnSoft ([email protected])
-------

Description:
------------

nnCron LITE is a small, but full-featured scheduler that can start
applications and open documents at specified time or with specified
frequency. nnCron LITE is a perfect freeware Windows clone of a well-
known UNIX scheduler Cron (including all the useful Anacron features).

Here are the most important features of nnCron LITE:

- It can be started as a system service or as a regular standalone
application
- It understands cron table format (Unix) and is managed with easy-to-
edit text crontab files that are fully compatible with Unix crontabs
- It can handle and restart so called missed tasks
- It can set and use environment variables
- It can run applications authorized as currently logged user
(WinNT/2000/XP)
- It can be extended with plugins written in Forth language
- It can be easy tuned up to answer your current needs
- It is not resource demanding, and it can run even on very old PCs
without any noticeable performance degradation. (We have never seen
nnCron LITE service to allocate more than 150k of operative memory.)


Note #1:
--------
I still strongly recommend to add another one cathegory to PW: smth like
'System Utilities: Schedulers', because I'm not sure nnCron LITE fits
into 'Reminders: Automation' beeing a plain scheduler (not a reminder).

Note #2:
--------
I'm not the author of nnCron LITE, but I'm a member of this program
'support team'. You may want to keep this in mind when deciding - do you
want to vote for nnCron LITE or not.

Thanks.
 
I'd like to nominate:

ps: For apps in this category - if included on Pricelessware - I think

would be in place :)

Category: SYSTEM UTILITIES/ 5 Boot Manager /?
Cross-ref: [suggest: SYSTEM UTILITIES/"HD and partition recovery"]
Ware Type: Freeware

from DOS or Win9x"

#3)--------------------------------

Program: Display Partition Information [PARTINFO.EXE/PARTINFW.EXE]
Category: SYSTEM UTILITIES/ ?[suggest: "HD and partition recovery"]
Cross-ref: SYSTEM UTILITIES/ 5 Boot Manager
Ware Type: Freeware
Home Page: <http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/> (under Free Software)


Description from <http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/utilities.html>
<quote>
Display Partition Information
This DOS or NT/2K/XP utility will display the partition information in
the MBR and EMBR. The output can be redirected to a file and sent for
review if needed. A.K.A. "partinfo"
<quote>

Note: not to be confused with similar partinfo tool by Powerquest
(which I belive only offers a DOS version).

From readme.txt:
<quote>
PARTINFO.EXE - DOS/Win9x/WinME version.
PARTINFW.EXE - WinNT/Win2K/WinXP version.

Use the '>' symbol to redirect the output to a file.
For example:
partinfo > c:\partinfo.txt
NOTE:
Windows may crash if you have any removable drives with windows
drivers where the drive is mapped to the BIOS as a hard drive. For
example, if you had a SCSI jaz drive and the SCSI adapter set to
support removable devices as bootable (making the jaz device show up
as a BIOS HD) then Win9x will crash as soon as this program accesses
that drive.
