'Wrap' Command Lines to Create Windows NT-2000 Services
http://www.nick.rozanski.org.uk/index.php?page=software
SRVSTART.EXE allows you to run executable programs (command lines) as if they were a service, it has many options. I am very happy with this tool!

SVC.EXE allows you to install, modify or remove Windows NT services.

Good free alternative to the MS "SRVANY.EXE" tool which I would not use in any serious way as it does not handle program termination (its a joke).

A b a n d o n w a r e R i n g - Your Source For Abandonware Since 1997
http://www.abandonwarering.com/
Abandonware is defined as any PC/Mac/Amiga/C64/Apple game that is:
At least 5 years old and not being sold or supported by the company that produced it or by any other company. When a certain piece of abandonware is later found to be sold or supported by a company, then it ceases to be abandonware.

Note that it is technically software piracy, however in my opinion anyway noone is losing out as the companies have no interest in it.

Advanced Installer - Windows Installer MSI Authoring Tool
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/
Advanced Installer is a Windows Installer authoring tool which enables developers to build reliable MSI packages that meet the Windows 2000/XP logo certification guidelines.

Advanced Installer aims to provide a powerful - yet intuitive and easy to use - interface to the installation creation process, making the authoring of MSI files a snap and shielding developers from the complexity and intricacies of the Windows Installer technology while enabling them to leverage all its capabilities.

The current version is an early development release. Which implies that while it is stable and usable, it is not intended to be a final release by any means, its functionality being rather limited. We are only publishing it as a helping tool for those who need it right now.

The product is freeware and according to the authors will remain so although a "PRO" version will probably be developed.

The component's interface is intended to be simple, but powerful if you want to have events reported to the Application eventlog of the local server (works with a standard installation, aka server runs under IUSR_machinename account). All four different event types (success, error, warning and information) can be logged, together with a single string of information (you are free to include anything in this string, like IP, user agent, etc).

Looks good, can specify/create event "sources", however these must be created in script (not autocreated).

ATM - Another Task Manager
http://anothertaskmanager.cjb.net/
Screen shot looks very impressive but Windows 9x only (working on adding NT/2k/XP compatability).

Features:

  • Real-time capability to monitor all processes and threads, their CPU usage, execution time, etc.
  • It allows you to completely manage the system priority of all running processes and threads. You can even set a DPC (Dynamic Priority Controller) which can switch between two defined priorities specifying a time-slice for both.
  • It allows you to know which are the system handles opened by all processes.
  • Ability to specify a default priority for a process so ATM will make sure all process instances will have the chosen priority.
  • Ability to define "actions"; ATM will execute when your defined conditions will take place. It is a really powerful, flexible and easily-configurable function that allows you to define complex tasks to be automatically executed.
  • Ability to spy and control all system windows.
  • System Information: ATM collects some informations about yuor system (physical and virtual memory utilization, wide CPU technical informations, Operating System version).
  • CPU cooler: ATM offers even two different types of CPU cooling function, both based on the x86 HLT instruction which is called only when the system is idle, so it doesn't affects other tasks. Naturally, you can uncheck it whenever you want.

Australian Retailers Association (ARA) Codes of Practice (including scanning)
http://www.retail.org.au/index.php/policy/codes_of_practice
It would appear that retailers (and their association) are being careful to prevent you finding this information so for my own recollection and to stuff their careful system up you will find the scanning code of practice for computerised checkout systems in supermarkets 2004 as as well as other codes of conduct at this page.

The following are the main bits (from the downloadable PDF):

3. The Item-Free and Multiple Purchases Policies

3.1 If the scanned price of an item is higher than the shelf price, the customer shall be entitled to that item free.

3.2 Where multiple items bearing identical bar codes, or the same PLU number, are purchased and scan at a price higher than the shelf price, the customer shall be entitled to the first item free and the others at the lower (that is the shelf) price. Where multiple pre-packed items, of the same product, which have a set price per kilo (and therefore do not have an identical bar code) are scanned at a higher price than the shelf price, the customer shall be entitled to the first pack scanned for free and the other packs at the correct price per kilo.

3.3 Where there is a difference between the shelf price and the scanned price of the item, the discrepancy will be remedied immediately by the store.

3.4 A scanning error shall be deemed to have occurred when an item has been scanned or the correct PLU number keyed-in and a price higher than the shelf price is registered on the checkout terminal display. It is not necessary for a customer to have paid for the item or to have left the store to be entitled to receive the item free under the Code. Where an operator error has occurred, that is the wrong PLU number is keyed in or the wrong product is identified by the checkout operator, the consumer is not entitled to the product for free.

3.5 If a customer removes, alters or otherwise interferes with a shelf price label or bar code, the customer loses her/his right to receive the item free.

4. Retailer Responsibilities

4.1 Retailers undertake to apply the Code in spirit as well as in the letter, so that high ethical standards are followed by all relevant retailers.

4.2 The retailer is obliged to ensure that the interests of customers are protected by the development of inhouse procedures designed to ensure the integrity and accuracy of computerised checkout systems at all times.

4.3 The retailer will also encourage customer awareness of the Code through the display of signage at each checkout or each entry point to the store. This sign must be clearly visible to customers standing at the checkout or upon entry to the supermarket.

4.4 Staff are required to be familiar with the provisions of the Code and to ensure that customer inquiries or grievances about the Code are handled in a courteous and efficient manner. The retailer will ensure the maintenance of staff training programs to that end.

4.5 The retailer will maintain supplies of Code information materials and provide customers with a copy of the Code leaflet on request.

4.6 Common sense should dictate the period in which a store will accept a customer complaint. As a guideline for customers and store staff, however, it would be reasonable to deal with a complaint up to one month after the error is alleged to have occurred. (See also Section 10 below).

D-LIB is freeware which looks suitable for packing MSI installers and resources into a small EXE to script installation.

BICOM - BIjective COMpressor
http://www3.sympatico.ca/mt0000/bicom/
Bicom is a data compressor in the PPM family. It is freely available and open source. It compresses well, though not as well as the best PPM-style compressors (it will get better), and slowly, though not as slowly as the best PPM compressors (and it will get faster).

It's most unique characteristic, however, is that compression with bicom is completely bijective -- any file is a possible bicom output that can be decompressed, and then recompressed back to its original form. Of course, any file is also a possible bicom input that can be compressed, and then decompressed back to its original form. At the time of its release, bicom is the only competitive compressor with this quality.

If you consider compression to be an important first step before encryption, because it minimizes redundancy in the plaintext, then you can appreciate this bijective quality, because bijectivity implies that the compression adds no known plaintext to its output.

To support encryption applications, bicom also includes a passphrase-protection option that will automatically encrypt after compressing, or decrypt before decompressing. The cipher used is the current AES proposal, Rijndael. It is applied in a unique way, however, that preserves the bijective property of the compressor, and almost never changes the size of a compressed file.

Bugtoaster - Do Something about Computer Crashes
http://www.bugtoaster.com/
Bugtoaster is a free (I think) desktop front-end for an Internet-based service that helps you straighten out problems with your computer. Bugtoaster runs from your system tray, waiting until something goes wrong. When your operating system or an application crashes, Bugtoaster catches the details and forwards the information to the online Bugtoaster database. The crashes are then correlated and forwarded to the appropriate software vendors. You can check the databases for details or fixes, and choose to receive e-mail reports about all crashes or just the ones you've reported.

Sounds like an excellent idea. Hopefully like me you are dismayed at the extrememely poor quality of Microsoft's products and in fact Windows products in general. This sort of tool has the potential to force these vendors to care about their bugs, that is fix them!

The online bug database should also be useful in developing work arounds to problems you might be experiencing.
