EppieDesktop v2.1
Ware: Freeware
Windows OS: Windows 9x/ME - NOT FOR NT/2K/XP
Languages: English
Description: Eppie(Desktop) is a great little app, that lets you replace
your window-buttons (the max, min etc). Free, for Win 95/98/Me only - it
lets you change the startbutton too. No full window skinner, but makes a
great change, and foremost, uses very little resources (not even
noticable, and never crashes).
You can customize the normal, pushed and disabled version of the
minimize, maximize, restore, close and ?-button. It even settles itself
in your Control Panel.

I agree. I just submitted this as a suggestion for discussion. As I
said, I'm sure there are better ways to revise the LAME description,
if a revision is considered necessary.


Hello Demetris,

Is this description acceptable to you?

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_programs.php#0416-PW

LAME (compiled)
(Freeware) (open source: GNU LGPL)
Windows OS: Windows
Other OS: Linux; Unix
Languages: English
Description: Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally
stood for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder. LAME started life as a GPL'd patch
against the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of
producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May
2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now
LAME is the source code for a fully LGPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and
quality to rival all commercial competitors.

That's fine, Susan -- much better than my rewrite, and fair to all
parts, I think.

Thank you,

"2xExplorer is an easy to use and very efficient alternative to the
standard windows Explorer. It combines the user-friendliness of
Windows Explorer with the increased efficiency and advanced features
of good-old dual-pane file managers like Norton Commander. It is a
package that will appeal to the power user, yet its similarity with
Explorer will ensure that less experienced users will not be driven
away either. It offers many additional features, including file
filters, Drivebar navigation, printing, file sorting and a lot more."

permission to archive it. I suggest changes:

Drive Rescue

Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Description: Drive Rescue is a program for exploring your hard disk,
and locating lost files on it. The idea for this program originated
from processing a disk with Scandisk--which suddenly contained no
data. Since off-the-shelf Windows methods could not recover any of it,
this program was successfully created, to find important information
of the file system, to look for lost data and to restore it.

yesterday:

byte character systems (DBCS) so you can edit texts written in Far
East languages, such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean, as easily as
those written in European languages.

Suggest name revision: Bart's PE Builder

This was listed simply as "PE Builder."

Bart's PE Builder
(Freeware)
Windows OS: Windows 2000/XP; Windows Server 2003 NOTES: An original
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD is required to
build a CD.
Languages: English
Description:

Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled
Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows
XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC
maintenance tasks.

It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a
graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem
support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing
files to a network share, virus scan and so on.
This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!


The PE Builder program (pebuilder.exe) runs on Windows
2000/XP/2003/BartPE. It does not run on Windows NT4/ME/9x.

To avoid any confusion, the bootable CD generated by PE Builder should
be called by its nickname "BartPE"!

anyone else wants to nominate the program. It is dated and there are
much better non-$$ compression tools out there.

ZipGenius
(Freeware)
Windows OS: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP NOTES: Older version available for
Windows 95/NT4
Languages: English; (French help file)
Description: ZipGenius has greatly evolved during these years and
today it isn't just a zip/unzip application, but it is a perfect
companion for your work. ZipGenius is a great solution for who needs
to archive and protect its files and projects, but it is also suitable
for everyone who just want to share pictures and music files.
Flexibility: ZipGenius features are unusual for a program of this
type: you get support to TWAIN device (scanners and digital cameras),
files extraction to CD-R writer (only under Windows XP®), a FTP client
(FTPGenius). and other things. Power: ZipGenius 5 will make you use
the right button of your mouse in a very clever way: all the most
important functions have been replicated there. ZipGenius fully
integrates with Windows® Explorer shell and, specifically, it takes
advantages from using Windows® XP innovative features, such as
built-in support to CD-R writers. Safety: In ZipGenius 5 we focused to
increase data security, so we introduced some features to achieve
these results: archive history file is encrypted, most recently used
files list can be enabled (always or per session) or disabled, and
CryptoZip 2.1 gives better encryption algorhythms to lock your
archives. NOTES: ZipGenius 5 cannot be installed under Windows 95 and
NT4: use ZipGenius 1.4 SR3.

I have checked, corrected and sent in descriptions for pretty much
everything that I want to nominate. There are a great many programs
that I've yet to try...

I propose allowing simple program names and versions to be submitted
for the remainder of the nomination process. I'll chip in on
re-validating the information or looking up any new info. Hopefully a
few of us can split the list up and work through it quickly.

Also feel free to nominate programs that are not on the list. A URL

Susan,
Mercury Editor has been discontinued.

reply to them, lol)

You cannot see Susan's posts? Or, you cannot see my posts?

I subscribed to TeraNews (one time fee) and I seem to have alternating
problems. When it starts acting up I go back to my ISP news connect.
When it starts going flaky I switch back to TeraNews...
