Two apps which you must have. Really

These apps come from the same programmer and are both very useful.

Once you use these apps, you will wonder how you ever did without.

1) Query Application

"Query Application wraps up all of the Internet technical information
tools most technical-oriented users will ever need into a single clean-
looking (and free) utility. Host To IP converts a hostname to an IP
address. IP To Host does the reverse. Whois gets details on domain names.
Use Finger to obtain information about all users on a network host. EQ
lets you retrieve recent Earthquake information using Finger. Push the
HTML button to view full header information and page data from a Web
server. The FTP control queries a FTP server and shows root directories
and files. Other features let you obtain the precise time from a remote
time server and synchronize your system clock; verify a host for
available network services; confirm connectivity to a particular device
on the network; show the list of gateways between your computer and a
particular device; launch the Windows IP configuration utility; and
obtain information about current Internet connections. Query Application
Modems dialog box gives you information about installed modems, lets you
send AT commands, and can detect incoming calls."

2) Born To Run

"Born To Run is a program very much like the Windows Run dialog. Since
it's a standalone application, it can be run from anywhere on your
desktop, with almost any key combination, unlike the Windows Run dialog,
which can only be run from the Start menu. You can also only type the
file name (without the extension) for 17 common extensions. You can set a
list of your most used files, folders, or Internet resources and to
launch them automatically at specific time intervals."

Both very nice. Both work very well. Can not say enough good things
about these apps. Other apps are also available on the same page for
which I have not tried. [ But I will :-) ]

Only from the Start menu? What about the Windows+R hotkey? ;)
