| Freeware Computers: Utilities |
| #1
ITSDiag (Internet
Tech Support Diagnostics) checks
a users computer for it's Internet, Network, and
Modem configuration, then can analyze the results
and make some real world suggestions to improve
connection quality and speed. Most Internet users
don't know a packet from a mtu and it really
doesn't matter especially if you have this. Most
of the other speed packages throw jargon at you
this one just analyzes, reports and helps you
fix. That's the kind of programming computers
were meant to have. These is a whole page of good
diagnostic and helpful utilities on this page all
work and all are freeware. freeware |
| #2 MCL a
command line utility that gives you back the
speed you had in DOS. No more hunting all over
with the mouse. Type in the key strokes or with a
couple of strokes activate a macro and away you
go. Takes almost no space and doesn't get lost.
This is from another programmer who has a whole
page of great utility programs. This one is the
grand old age of 15. Of course that means he can
make it sing while most adults (me too) can
barely make it honk. Get this and more. Mike Lin's

| #3 Mouse-O-Meter an
absolute must have for anyone who uses a
computer. This program in inches, yards, miles or
millimeters, centimeters, meters or kilometers
tells you just have far your mouse traveled
during your current session, daily, weekly or
monthly. This definitely beats "Don't I know
you from someplace" as an opening line.
Switch to "Hi, did you know my mouse
traveled 800 miles last week." Now you know
why Garfield is worrying about Jon. He thinks
this will work. I would worry about anyone who
downloaded it but it's cute! Mouse-o-meter |
| #4 Win Mac ever
wished you had a Mac (the computer not the
hamburger:-)? Well you can make your Win95 look
like one on the screen. Just download Win Mac and
fire it up. All the functionality and looks of
the Mac desktop running Mac 7.5 or 8 (Copeland).
Mac icons the whole nine yards or mix Win and Mac
styles together. WinMac |
| #5 Diligence Encounter do you like to get great sound
out of your computer? Well here's how. Diligence
Encounter is a freeware editor player that works
as well or better than the expensive commercial
software packages. Handles almost any type of
sound file from a simple wave to avi sound and
more. Ulf M

| GNU Emacs for Win 95 either you know what this is or
you don't. If you do and were looking for a
porting to Win 95 here it is. Rather than go into
a long explanation this does a fantastic number

and its' papers and live on the edge. http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html |

| Fm Edit 98 when the lads and lassie's at MS
started the make over on file manager to Explorer
they should have just downloaded this freeware
replacement. Its' three widow system is hard to
beat. The first two are you standard directory
and files but the third is something that's
really been needed. When you click on a file if
it's a text file or similar the file appears in
the third window. The same for graphics, html and
more. The text window is even an editor. More
commands available and fast. http://wkweb1.cableinet.co.uk/raymond.allan/html/fmedit95.htm |
| Free Mem free
up memory that Windows is wasting. Windows is
notorious for wasting memory. It does not flush
the RAM after a program is closed and just uses
more memory in the swap file which is much
slower. Free Mem will clean out unused programs
from RAM and make your computer that much more
responsive. FreeMem
Standard from Meikel.com |
| Reg Edit Extensions greatly enhances the reg edit
functions. Word to the wise. If you know how to
edit the registry this is wonderful. If you don't
know how either don't do it or practice on a
friend you can afford to lose or your in laws
computers. Don't do it on your own. The registry
is no place for the uninitiated to be. http://www.dcsoft.com/prod01.htm |

| Probert E-text Encyclopedia this is a work that without
computers would only be in libraries with large
budgets. It addresses obscure but relevant acts,
deeds, people etc. As an addition to your
standard encyclopedia it gives it much more
depth. ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/info/penc1ih.zip |
| The Dictator no
not a mean school teacher or vice principal but a
program to make memorizing less tedious. The
promo for the program says it will make it fun
and as soon as they show me a painless dentist
I'll believe them. This takes a new interactive
computer approach. It's like studying with a
friend with no snide remarks. Excellent for all
grades from Bible verses in Sunday School to your
orals for a Ph.D. If you are a student anywhere
get it. It is a new concept in software it's free
but on a portion of the screen ads float by. Look
around though there are programs to stop that
just like the ones that stop the pop-ups at
Geocities. It also comes with study modules be
sure and get the world and US flag sets. Dissonance FREE software!

| Ray's Letters and Numbers for ages 3 to 6 a multimedia
experience in learning numbers and ABC's. I'm
sure it beats sitting around singing that dumb
song. This award winning program makes learning
fun. Comes in both UK and US English. That way
American children can learn a foreign language
and British children can learn a proper
language:-). Really if you have small children or
teach them get this. You won't buy a better
program in this area. Ray's

a computer but don't know anything about it
except to get around the net and that's strain.
Here is an easy learning aid for you. In windows
help format. Just download and double click on
the file. After it installs just open and start
learning what that high priced electronic box can
do besides play CD's through some very cheap
speakers. If you are like about 90% of the people
using a computer you need this not only for study
but reference. The Back
Room Boys in NZ. |
