Thank you for using Funduc Software utilities!

This is FREEWARE, Copyright 1995-1999 Funduc Software Inc.

The Decode Shell Extension v4.1 adds a Decode menu item to your 
Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 Explorer context menu (right mouse button 
menu) and File menu.  It is visible only when exactly one file
(not folder) is selected.  For more information, or the latest 
version visit: http://www.funduc.com.

To use it, first use your E-MAIL software and the File/Save menu to
save the message to a text file.  Then use the Windows Explorer to 
select the file, right-click and pick the Decode menu.

The extension will then analyze the file and if it detects a 
UUENCODED, BinHex, XXE, Base64(MIME), plain text or quoted-
printable encoded file, it will prompt you if you want to decode 
it (and tell you the file name).  To change the file name or where 
it is saved, use the button provided.  If a file name is missing, 
the extension will use a default name. 

If you would like to receive E-MAIL notifications when there are 
updates or like this utility and would like to more see 
enhancements made to it, use the FAX form at the bottom of this 
document with your credit card or send $5 (in check drawn on a US 
bank or International Money order) and your comments (you can use 
the form provided below) to: 
Funduc Software Inc. 
P.O. Box 530904 
Livonia MI 48153. 

The newest enhancements include better detection of encoding 
format, stripping of paths from the file name (if found) and 
handling of multi-part attachments (previously concatenated) and 
multiple attachments in one file.  MIME(Base64) encoded files will 
now be decoded even if no file name can be detected.  Quoted-
printable files can also be decoded and a button allows you to 
confirm decoding of all files found in one attachment.

Search and Replace for Windows 95/98/NT 3x (shareware) - Search 
and Replace looks through multiple files for a string and can also 
replace it with another string.  It can search subdirectories and 
ZIP files and do case sensitive or insensitive searches.  
Extensive support for regular expression (egrep) search & 
replacement includes operations that span more than one line, 
insertion of the path & filename during replacements, and 
incrementing number replacements. Binary search & replace mode can 
be combined with regular expressions.  The search results viewer 
can direct the results to an html file for automatic viewing in 
your web browser.  Precise control over replacements is available 
through multiple confirmation options and a built-in context 
viewer that allows you to view replacements in-context, before 
they are made.  A built-in script editor makes frequent &/or 
complex multi-step search/replace operations easy to prepare.  
Advanced script operations include a boolean expression evaluator 
that provides additional control over which files are processed by 
the script.  Advanced scripts also allow you to specify the 
program options in effect and insert comments in scripts.  
Multiple file masks and file date & size filters can be used to 
include &/or exclude files during regular and scripted operations.  
The internal context viewer includes a build-in editor for editing 
text files.  The full complement of command line switches 
(including script launching) is ideal for network managers & 
advanced users. Other functions include: Undo function to reverse 
last replacements made; Touch files (change time/date stamp & file 
attributes); Preservation of original file date during 
replacements; Replacements on backup path files instead of the 
originals; Output reports to monitor operations; Shell extensions 
to launch Search & Replace from Explorer and the Find Menu; and 
more.  Separate executables for Win3x and Win95/98/NT and a 
detailed help file with examples are included. International 
versions are available from http://www.funduc.com.  Cost: $25 

Directory Toolkit for Windows 95/98/NT (shareware) - A 
multipurpose directory comparison and file manager that provides 
features missing from Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 or higher.  
It displays single directory lists or side-by-side directory 
comparisons using color coding for alike, different, or missing 
files.  Comparisons can be based on dates or a binary file 
analysis of file content.  You can copy, move, & rename files 
while retaining long filenames and six built-in synchronize 
functions simplify updating directories. Built-in archive 
functions, with Explorer shell extensions, let you create & manage 
archives from Explorer and use Directory Toolkit as your primary 
archive manager for supported archives (ZIP, TAR, & GZ).  ZIP 
functions include support for password encrypted ZIPs. File 
operations and directory comparison functions work seamlessly on 
files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract files first. 
Other features include Command line scripts & command line 
switches for automated comparisons & synchronize operations via 
batch files; Statistics for file counts and path sizes; Ignoring 
filename case during comparisons; Explorer compatible OLE drag n 
Drop; Split/Concatenate files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode 
UENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), and XXENCODE formats (Decode 
also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text); An 
integrated comparison viewer for a color coded display of the 
actual differences in files; Safe physical sort of directories; 
Touch files (change time/date & attributes stamps); Find duplicate 
files on a drive; Open files and launch applications; Multiple 
include/exclude file masks and the ability to include/exclude 
files based on size and date; Configurable output file and print 
functions to create reports of single and comparison directory 
lists; Detects & runs (optionally) setup programs in archives; 
Advanced file renaming functions using complex masks; File 
numbering to number files sequentially based on adjustable sort 
order and a user defined starting value.  Help file with examples 
included.  International versions are available from 
http://www.funduc.com.  Cost: $25 

Shortcut Doctor for Windows 95/98/NT (shareware) - Shortcut Doctor 
allows you to check all your links/shortcuts and see which contain 
targets which can no longer be found.  You can then delete the 
shortcuts, resolve them or replace all shortcuts pointing to a 
certain drive or directory with another (after validation of new 
path is made).  Individual shortcuts can be edited and all 
shortcuts on a drive can be displayed, regardless of whether they 
are valid or not.  CD-ROM drives or network drives can be ignored 
during processing.  Cost: $15. 

Funduc Explorer Extensions (shareware) - Explorer Extensions allow 
you to perform additional tasks using a familiar interface: the 
Windows 95/98/NT Explorer.  You can split and concatenate files 
to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode UUENCODE, Base64(Mime), 
BinHex(Mac), and XXENCODE formats (Decode also includes printable, 
7 bit unencoded, & plain text), Touch files (change time/date 
stamp as well as attributes).  Cost: $15. 

HexView for Windows 95/98/NT (freeware) -  HexView allows you to 
view, print, print preview of any file as a Hex Dump.  HexView is 
intended as a free companion program to our utility, Search and 
Replace. However, it is a standalone application and you are free 
to use it as you see fit.  The source code (C++ using MFC 4.x or 
higher) can be downloaded for free from http://www.funduc.com. 

INI to Registry for Windows 95/98/NT (freeware) - This program 
works well with any program that relies on .ini files.  It can 
read the contents of any INI file and load them into the Windows 
95/NT registry.  That way programs which previously used INI files 
can read the old data from the registry.  The program is free.  
The source code is available for $25.  Please E-MAIL 
info@funduc.com for information on purchasing the source code. 

Decode Windows 95 Shell Extension (freeware) - This Win 95/98/NT 
Explorer extension provides a subset of the decoding features 
available in Directory Toolkit.  It allows you to decode a 
UUENCODED, XXENCODED, BinHex or Base64(MIME) file by simply right-
clicking on it in the Explorer and selecting Decode from the menu.  
It supports multiple attachments, multi-part files (already 
concatenated), XXENCODED and User (table) encoded files in 
addition to UUENCODED, Base64(MIME) and BinHex (Mac format) files. 

Count Characters (freeware) - This little app was written to: a) 
Allow users to dump the contents of combo, edit and list boxes as 
well as static and button fields to the clipboard.  This can come 
in handy for browser lists, as well as items displayed by other 
applications to which you otherwise have no access.  b) To help 
users understand how applications are built (what types of 
controls are used).  Other tools are available for this of course 
but they are usually known only to programmers.  c) To allow users 
to know at any time how many characters they have typed in an edit 
box.  This might be useful, for example, if a site asks you to 
only enter a certain amount of data in their fields but don't tell 
you that you went over until it's too late.  Depending on the 
editor, html authors might also find this handy for double 
checking the length of meta tags.  Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT 
versions included. 

Limit Edit (freeware) - An outgrowth of Count Characters, Limit 
Edit lets you set user-defined limits on the maximum amount of 
text that can be entered in edit boxes and rich edit controls.  
For example, you could use Limit Edit to set a limit on the 
maximum amount of text that can be entered into an instance of the 
Notepad text editor.  Although it is intended for edit and rich 
edit controls only, Limit Edit may also work with some some other 
controls that are subclasses of these.  Like Count Characters, the 
Limit Edit dialog can be also be used to see what type of controls 
are being used by a program.  Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT 
versions included.
