594 KiB | This is a companion program for wdpv.exe (see above). Because many digital picture frames are quite small, it is important to crop the images you have so that the subject fills the frame and you get the best resolution possible. This is where cropit.exe is useful. It allows you to quickly custom crop/edit a folder full of images without the need for creating a duplicate folder or space-consuming copies of each image. It simply inserts editing instructions into the JPEG file's comment field without altering the file's bitmap data or time stamp. This allows you to undo or re-do the edits to any image. You use cropit.exe much like wdpv.exe: drop files or folders onto the program icon or double-click the program icon to see detailed usage. | Win32 (Only tested in XP so far.) |

| wresize.exe v1.05 Linux Exe |
583 KiB | Easy-to-use picture re-sizing program. Just put it on your Windows desktop and then drop picture files (.jpg or .png) onto it. It will create new, re-sized pictures in a folder on your desktop (in Windows) that are perfect for e-mailing to friends so that you don't overload their mailboxes. Also has command line functionality. Does sharpening and can do gamma correction (from command line). Now works with cropit.exe (see above) to produce re-sized images that are also optimally cropped (as of 7-10-05, Windows version only). Most options can be controlled through environment variables. Double-click to see usage. | Win32 Linux |

| wdir.exe
v1.08 Version history Linux Exe (v1.08) HPUX Exe (v1.00) |
135 KiB | Yet another color directory program.
Works from the command shell in Windows.
Displays different file extensions in
different colors. The important feature of this utility
is that you can get a recursive list (-r) of a complete directory
structure and have the entire list sorted by size (-s), date (default),
or name (-n)--good for finding large files that are eating your
disk space or the most recent files in an entire folder and all its
subfolders.
Don't be fooled by the version number. I just started numbering wdir on
4-7-06 but have been adding features since the late 1990's when I first
created it as a 32-bit Windows NT replacement for HDIR.COM, an old DOS
favorite of mine that somebody else wrote. Other features: -ext (new in v1.00) summarizes disk usage by extension type (.doc, .xls, etc.). Works recursively through subfolders with -r option. -g searches all files (binary or ASCII) for a pattern (recursively with -r option), like grep. -sum lists total space taken up by each subdirectory. -gs/-ds automatically creates batch files to process/delete every file listed. Plus there are options to list full file names (-ff), partial file names (default), or web-friendly file names (-fw) for cutting and pasting as a browser URL. Also prints out file sizes with comma separated numbers so you can easily tell how large they are (or use -nc if you prefer no commas). |

Version history Linux exe (v2.03) HPUX exe (v1.14) |
169 KiB | A backup (and restore--as of v2.00) program targeted for backing up one hard drive to another and meant to be run nightly (or periodically). The latest version now offers command line options to restore from a set of backups (see -rj or -rx options). Wlmback supports Zip64 (recommended), tar/gzip, and 7-zip so that backup archives larger than 2 GiB can be used. Backs up a directory recursively using zip (or 7-zip or tar/gzip) on a specified cycle of days (def = one week). Backup files are stored as zip (or 7-zip or gzipped tar) files. If run nightly on a one week cycle, then any snapshot of a file from any of the previous seven days can be recovered (good for when you accidentally delete or modify a file). Limitations: Although individual zip files (pre Zip64) have a size limit of 2 GiB, wlmback gets around this by using multiple zip files (numbering them sequentially) if necessary. So the total disk size that can be backed up has virtually no limit, but the total number of backed up files cannot exceed 2 billion, and no single file can be larger than 2 GiB. With Zip64, 7-zip, or tar/gzip, the 2 GiB single file and archive limitations do not apply. Info-Zip's zip 3.x and unzip 6.x will support Zip64. Run "wlmback -h" for a list of options and example usage. | Win32 Linux, HPUX (v1.14) |

| which.exe | 82 KiB | Win32 version of unix "which" command. Tells you where a command originates. Checks for doskey macros, batch files, .com files, and .exe files. I use it all the time. | Win32 | |
| httpget.exe | 83 KiB | Command line utility to get a file from an HTTP server using a web link. Similar to unix wget utility, which is also available for PC's (see my Useful Win32 Software page). I wrote this before I knew about wget. | Win32 | |
| numlock_on.exe numlock_off.exe |
113 KiB | Turn your numlock key on or off. Great for putting in your startup folder if you want your numlock key to be in a certain state after you log in. Works from the command line, too. | Win32 | |
| usnotime.exe | 93 KiB | Sets your PC's clock using the U.S. Naval
Observatory web site. Works through a proxy server. Has a non-interactive
mode for use with a scheduling program so that you can run it daily
if desired. Just download it and double-click
it for more info, or run |

61 KiB | Eval 1.18 is a full
featured floating point expression evaluator (calculator) that
can assign variables, has many built-in functions and constants, allows
input and output in any number base, and uses a C-like syntax for
expression evaluation. Full ANSI C source is included, and Eval easily
ports to other platforms. See version history at left. Note: Did you know you can evaluate numeric expressions in Google's search box? |
Win32 Also available for MS-DOS/Win 3.11, Linux, OS X, HPUX, and Solaris (see source archive). |

| STL Viewer | 370 KiB | Program based on LDView to view stereo-lithography (STL) files in full 3D. You can read more about LDView on my useful Win32 utilities page. STLView has a small footprint and is easy to use. Just drop this installer program to your desktop, double-click it, go into the newly created "stlview" folder, and view the "READ ME" file. NOTE: If you get an OpenGL or other error when LDView runs, just uncheck all of the check boxes for "Show the following Errors." | Win32 | |

179 KiB | Contour v2.40 allows one to plot contour maps and 3D plots given a uniform rectangular grid of "Z-values". There is no documentation available, but it should be fairly self explanatory. To see the file format, run the program, choose option 8, then option 4. Then examine the resultant file. It's a simple format. Contour has postscript output for printing. | MS-DOS (VGA or EGA) Win32 (full screen mode) |

| CIA Adventure: Linux exe C Source BASIC Src |
56 KiB | This is a text-based CIA adventure game originally programmed for the TRS-80 by Hugh Lampert. I first played it back in 1980 when I received it on C-Load magazine, which was a subscription magazine that sent subscribers TRS-80 programs on cassette tapes. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and after all these years, I dug up the original source code on the web (see trs-80.com or wurb.com) and converted it to ANSI C. Simply download, double-click, and enjoy. | Win32 Linux |
