Partition Saving (was Savepart)
(Freeware)
Windows OS: DOS
Languages: English
Description: Partition Saving is a DOS program that is used to save,
restore and copy hard-drive, partitions, floppy disk and DOS devices.
With this program you could save all data on a partition to a file
(such as you could save this file on a CD for example). Then if
something goes wrong, you can completely restore the partition from
the backup file. You no longer have to reinstall every piece of
software from scratch. All you have to do is restore the partition
from the backup file and then update any software that was modified
since the backup was created.

ReplaceEm (was BK ReplaceEm)
(Donationware)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/NT4/2000 NOTES: a no install version is
available.
Languages: English
Description: At its core, ReplaceEm is essentially a text
search-and-replace program. However, unlike the search-replace
functionality of a standard text editor, ReplaceEm is designed to
operate on multiple files at once. And you need not only perform one
search-replace operation per file -- you can setup a list of
operations to perform. If different groups of files need to have
different operations performed on them, this is no problem either. You
can also specify a backup file for each file processed just in case
the replace operation did not do exactly what you wanted.

01 (PROGRAM NAME)
GSAR (General Search And Replace)
02 (WARE DESCRIPTION)
Freeware (opensource, GNU)[CLI]
03 (OS-WIN)
Win 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP with msvcrt.dll.
04 (OS NOTES)
If msvcrt.dll is not in your Windows/System folder, get it from
Microsoft
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;259403>
or by installing Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.
06 (LANGUAGES)
English
07 (DESCRIPTION)
gsar (General Search And Replace) is a utility for searching for and
--- optionally --- replacing strings in both text and binary files.
The search and replace strings can contain all kinds of characters
(0--255), i.e. Ctrl characters and extended ASCII as well.
The algorithm used is a variation of the Boyer-Moore search algorithm,
modified to search binary files. As a result of this, gsar is
blindingly fast. Opposed to line oriented search programs (like grep),
gsar will find all matches on a line. Actually, gsar doesn't know
anything about lines at all, all files and strings are treated as
binary. Gsar can search one or several files for a string and report
the occurrences. Gsar can read one file, search for a string, replace
it with some other string, and create a new file containing the
changes. Gsar can perform a search and replace in multiple files,
overwriting the originals. Finally, gsar can work as a filter, reading
from standard input and writing to standard output.

Minor revision: version info/file size. Added note about GUI (but

//rev. description

XXCopy
(Liteware) (free for non-commercial use)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP; Windows Server 2003 Runs in
command line mode
Languages: English
Description: XXCOPY is a command line utility for easily backing up
files and folders. It provides more that 200 advanced features for
even the most seasoned user. Probably the most popular use of XXCOPY
is as disk- cloning tool. It can duplicate an entire system drive that
can boot Window 9X/ME (though not NT/2000/XP). When converting files
with long file names to the DOS 8.3 file-name convention, XXCOPY
handles the long file name correctly and doesn't give the two files
the same 8.3 name. XXCOPY can be used to synchronize directories and
overwrite read-only files. With XXCOPY, you can back up up directories
incrementally without the use of archive bit. Exclude directories or
files from copying by wild cards. Qualify file by file date/time
(Before, On, or After). Copy hidden/system files. Flatten a directory
tree into files in one directory. Copy only the first n bytes and
more. XXCOPY comes with a 16-bit version (XXCopy16).

Other OS: Macintosh; Linux

MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the
change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without
decoding and re-encoding.
