Welcome to the

WinOnLine™ Review™

SHAREWARE EDITION

COMMUNICATE!

The Windows generic communications driver has its limitations, to put it kindly. Last week we picked up a new file that Delrina, the makers of WinFax, has released and shouted about it in the New Windows File Listings. Just in case you missed it:

WFXCOM.ZIP 8708 04-23-93* WFXCOMM.DRV - Windows Comm Driver Replacement driver which resolves many WinFax problems with 14.4 modems and 16550 UARTS From Delrina Technology. (Last Revised: 04/05/93) GRAB THIS!!! Replace The Windows communications driver with this whether you use WinFax or not if you use a high speed modem with the 16550 UART! Results in increased reliability/multi-tasking without hiccups! <W>

Wolly even installed this on a machine with a 2400 baud modem without the new UART and got good results. Now he can fool around with other programs without causing big time errors in his background downloads. It's real easy to install and was well worth the results for Wolly. Thanks to Delrina; while they aimed it at their WinFax users, I've not seen any restrictions for its general distribution and use. I guess it's only fair that you give a nod in their direction and strongly consider their product if you need a good Windows Fax program.

MODEMS!!!

Speaking of well worth it, time to grab a US Robotics 14.4 modem at a rock bottom price. The internal models have the 16550 UART built in to the serial port, so you not only get the 14.4, but the new technology serial port as well. Check out the ad here in WOLRS and order now while supplies last.

Have a good week BBSing! Give me a call at Windows OnLine and leave me a message. Love to hear from you!

Enjoy!


Shareware Briefs

ELVIS-N-SPACE

May I have your attention please --- Elvis has left the Galaxy

If to be judged by bizarre concept alone, this game deserves a download. Far too complicated for Wolly's attention span, Elvis-n-Space is a very involved game with multiple windows for viewing, inquiring, status, etc., and truly an adventure for those so inclined. Based on feel alone and the carefully detailed help file, Wolly recommends you take a gander at WES100.ZIP (123K) for the answer to Elvis' fate and register for a measely $14.95. Lisa Marie should be so creative.

   Wolly's Pick of the Week

PTOGGLE

The only reason you wouldn't need this is if you don't have a printer

PToggle is one of those programs which may very well endear itself to you and become a permanent part of your desktop. Windows 3.1 does not make it particularly convenient to make changes to your printer or its configuration. PToggle does. It lives as an apparently normal 32x32 icon, but normal it is not. When I right-click on the [image] I switch printer modes from letter, legal to envelope, all which are illustrated within the icon. The [image] click changes the layout from portrait to landscape, which changes the orientation of the [image] to reflect the current standing. The bottom section doesn't apply to Wolly's Hp DeskJet, but if your printer has a top, bottom and auxilliary feed tray, it will switch between them. If you click on the [image] you will be rewarded with the Windows Printer Dialog box so you can change any setting your little heart desires.

Your right mouse button gets a workout with PToggle as well. Right-click on the [image] and select a new default printer in an instant. Access configuration of this little gem through a double click on the icon description, which conveniently reveals the current default printer. You can even describe a printer/configuration and select it from a table you create. Believe it or not, this useful utility is freeware courtesy of Todd Augsburger of Precious Promises, who deserves major kudos for this handy wonder. Wolly will definitely send him a postcard with thanks as he requests. If you have more than one printer, download PTOGGLE2.ZIP (16K). If  you don't, download it anyway. And send the generous and clever author your thanks. He has earned it.

CONVERT

Anything to anything

If you have any need to convert units of whatever to units of another whatever, Convert will probably do the job. The interface, once you get in there and play, is very slick. There are sixteen categories, from angular velocity, luminous flux to volume. Select one from the drop down menu and a second set of "to" and "from" menus provide a listing of appropriate units from which to choose. Specify the notation in decimal place or exponential notation, click GO and stand back. Convenient buttons give you the opportunity to copy and paste. CVT200.ZIP (358K) will convert more than your local evangelist, and for only a $10.00 donation.

WATCHDOG

Who knows where the time goes?

Hours and hours go by while at the PC and what have you accomplished? Just how much did you use that new shareware program last week? Darn, I forgot to punch in and out when I worked on that special project. All these questions and problems can be solved with the use of Watchdog.

This program is a very slick monitor of the activities of a computer. A detailed database (in ascii-delimited format) is compiled showing the program and path, the main window and the child window title, with the date and time started and elasped time. The program will display it for review on command. Configure it to exclude programs in operation less than X minutes, and exclude up to ten named programs that you would prefer it ignore. Many other options are also available. The WD10D.ZIP (53K) version is sadly crippleware, with the ability to store only 10 history items. In fact, the registered version, available for $25.00, only stores 255 items, whereupon the oldest and shortest incidents are replaced by current activity. Wolly liked Watchdog, although he felt bitten by the crippleware aspect and potentially the ultimate limitations of items.

CHALKBOARD MATH

School!?!

Apples abound in many of our school systems, and I don't mean the kind you take to butter up the teacher. However, it seems that they're on the decline, as more forward looking administrators realize that Macintoshes do not populate American businesses, IBM compatibles do. Chalkboard Math is a Windows program designed to drill students on arithmetic problems of the four base operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It scores an 85 on the Cute Factor scale, with sound effects, changes in the expressions of the moon face on the blackboard, and a dancing mouse to reward the correct answer. Eight levels, as indicated by the number of stars at the top of the board, with twenty random exercises in each, are available. Chalkboard Math is recommended for ages 5 to 12.

Though a computer teaching aide, Chalkboard Math will not obviate the need for pencil and paper. The lower level rote problems give way to compound calculations, and there is no way for a student to compute these easily without an auxilliary calculation area. Simply put, there is no place to carry the two. Answers must be entered left to right, so you can't even do partial calculations in your head and enter the results as you go. CMAT15.ZIP (84K) is an nicely done program with a reasonable registration fee of $16.00. I wouldn't call it a learning program, but a math drill program with a weakness. Wolly will grade it on a curve and give it a C+.

TRUE TYPE FONTS

Meager, but quality selection

   CTOON.ZIP (29K)

   SSPEED.ZIP (28K)

Both fonts are shareware from Pat Snyder and priced at $15.00 and $14.00

CASINO BLACKJACK

You can only lose $10.00

Wolly was taught a valuable lesson by Casino Blackjack. Stay out of the Casinos. He lost his shirt to the dealer time and time again, but enjoyed the ease of betting and speed at which he lost his money by clicking on the chip demoninations below the betting box. Options can be set for the type of game you like, including the "insurance" options offered at many casinos. You can even specify the number of decks to be included in the shoe and even count the cards played and track the odds. Try that at a real casino and get thrown out! CSNO21.ZIP (97K) is a quality game that can be registered for $10.00.

THE GREENS

Miniature minature golf

The Greens is a cute little golf game you might find amusing. Give yourself a round on the house before you get serious. It's not feasible to determine which items you see on the course are obstacles or merely colorful something-or-others that you can play right through. Sounds of the crowd applaud your cupping the ball. Up to four players can compete; the computer does not play. You may enjoy GREENSV1.ZIP (221K), and if so, register it for $22.00.

ADIAL

And that's all

ADial will accept two numbers per entry, one phone and one beeper, and dial them for you. That's all. No additional information, no more than two numbers to a customer. The interface is pretty, with iconized buttons above the windows containing your alphabetical listing. No search capability is provided. Below the window is a second set of buttons apparently from the Department of Redundancy, because they do nothing more than duplicate the functions of the buttons above. ADIAL10.ZIP (97K) can be registered for $12.00, but Wolly will continue to search for a dialer with more features, including one which will talk to his modem on COM4. ADial will only address COM1 or COM2, so Wolly had a failure to communicate.

ROULETTE

Seems like every time I play with my computer I lose money. Literally.

Why bother to fly to Vegas? Roulette is pretty and easily played, and the help file gives useful information about how to play the game of Roulette when you do take a trip to visit The Donald and Marla in Atlantic City. If you're into games of chance without the crowds or the risk of loss, you can register ROULET.ZIP (54K) for $10.00. That Wolly can afford to lose.

SWIFT ACCESS

Another toolbar, with arrogance and annoyances

Wolly seriously does not want the title of Computer Curmudgeon, but programs such as Swift Access just fail to get his enthusiasm juices following. Swift Access will provide exactly that to a collection of up to twelve programs you select. Their icons will be shown on any of the four sides of the screen, your choice, and buttons can be configured to the icon and ultimate program state (minimized, etc.) of your choice.  SWFT11.ZIP (22K) can be registered through a rather steep, considering the program,  $30.00 check to the author's religious affiliation which will bring a disk in return. Hopefully, the Bible quotations which appear when you close the program will be absent from the registered version. The earth holds peoples of many religions.

Wolly was further impressed when he went back a bit later to kill Swift Access since it appeared in his task list seven times, once for each of the seven icons. When clicking upon the control icon to swat the pest, he was greeted with "Your fifteen minute trial period has expired. You will be able to use Swift Access again in five minutes. Would you like to review the purchasing information?" NO! Wolly said. Whereupon it terminated. Anyone want to take wagers on the registration success of this program? Wolly stands corrected. Swift Access did get his juices flowing.

   Wolly cries FOUL!

Wolly heard from a disgruntled shareware author crying foul over comments about his program. He thought Wolly to be unfair in his criticism, and besides, "it's only shareware" he said. FOUL sez Wolly!

The "it's only shareware" attitude demeans the speaker and every other shareware author out there and essentially admits mediocrity. Wolly firmly believes that any card-carrying ASP member or proud professional programmer would be happy to suggest that the disgruntled author find another pasttime. With that attitude he's apparently not interested in quality, not interested in improving his product, but only a few bucks to justify a half-hearted hobby.

Shareware authors who ask for a fee for their product should be prepared to provide a quality and useful product and price it against a reasonable cost/benefit yardstick. And if you start to get close to the commercial price arena, Wolly doesn't want to hear any excuses about the faults or fragility of Visual Basic. Just shaddup and give me what I'm paying for, or charge me (or not) what it's worth.

My irrefutable opinion,


Shareware_Review_One
Windows System Backup

One of the more irritating features of many windows programs is their desire, or need, to modify your WIN.INI file when they install themselves.  Quite often these programs will simply insert a few lines that you can easily remove if you wish.  But, occasionally, I find that some programs are not as well behaved.  These programs insist on modifying several important files.  These programs typically alter your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, SYSTEM.INI and others in addition to the WIN.INI file.  It seems the programmers who write these types of installation routines think theirs is the only program on your computer.  Newer programs are now coming out with uninstall routines that will help eliminate some of these problems.  But there is still only one foolproof way to protect yourself  keep an up to date backup copy of these files.

As I learned early on in working with computers in general and Windows in particular, the three most important words to remember are BACKUP, BACKUP, and BACKUP.  So, after a few frustrating episodes where I had to rewrite my WIN.INI, AUTOEXEC.BAT and a few others, I began keeping separate copies of these files safely hidden on a floppy.  I've often wondered why someone has not written a program to automate this important task.  Well a while back my prayers were answered when I found the Windows System Backup program.

This program not only makes copies of the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, and SYSTEM.INI files, it saves just about every important file on your system.  The opening window of the program offers several categories of files to backup.  These include all *.INI, *.GRP, *.PIF as well as the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.  In addition any special file extension you want to backup may also be specified.  Personally, I also keep backup copies of all my *.CAL (Windows calendar) and *.GRP (Lotus Organizer) files.

As if this weren't enough, the Windows System Backup program also offers several additional features to help manage these important files as well.  The buttons on the right side of the window offer a variety of options to aid in both setting up and using the program.  These commands are also quite useful for performing some of the necessary housekeeping functions as well.

Backup

The Backup command starts the backup process.  When this option is selected the program copies all the specified files to the drive and directory you have selected to hold the backup files.  The backup is actually a copy function and all the files are simply copied to the backup location.  This allows easier access to the files and permits each to be read as a standard file.

Print

The Print function allows you to print a hard copy of the four most important files on your system: AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, and SYSTEM.INI.  This window also allows you to select your printer and to select the line spacing for your printed output.

Edit

The Edit function, in my opinion, is one of the most useful parts of the program.  This option allows you the option of editing or modifying your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files as well as any *.INI or *.PIF files on your system.  You can even use this area to delete those unwanted INI files that remain long after the program they control has been discarded.  The default editor is NOTEPAD, but you can select any other editor you wish.

Path

The Path button allows you to select the specific paths for the files you wish to back up.  So, for example, if you would want to backup all your *.BAT files, all you do is enter the path for you batch file directory.  Once entered the path is easily accessed from the Source Directory box in the main window.

Custom

The Custom option allows you to select the file extensions for the Custom Extensions area of the main window.  You can list up to five different custom extensions with this option.

Without a doubt, this is one program that has found a home on my system.  While the Windows System Backup program may not cure my stupid mistakes, it will help protect me from myself and from the more unruly windows programs I often encounter.  And at $10.00, its the cheapest insurance you'll ever find  anywhere.  Members of Windows OnLine can find Windows System Backup as SYSBCK23.ZIP in Directory #33 - (WINDOWS-File/Shell/Add-in N-S).

WOL Shareware Two
VbReader

version 1.5

a review by Bob Gollihur

The good news is that Daniel Page updated VbReader to version 1.5 and released it on May 1, 1993. The bad news is that it isn't freeware anymore.

You can't blame him. He has generously released several versions of his off-line mail reader to a market hungry for an alternative Windows mail reader. The last version, 1.4, graduated to Visual Basic 2.0, and it was quite apparent that he had a contender to the WinQwk crown. It was obvious that the next step was to shareware.

VbReader's screen is very clear and understandable, no mini-window to squint at here. Controls are simple, but the change in location may be a shock to those accustomed to WinQwk. Some housekeeping details have been attended to in the newest version, with some additional professional touches including an easy installation program that even installs fixed fonts into your Windows directory. Naturally, you can later to change them to any font you have available on your system.

Bulletins are now a menu option to view from within VbReader, an addition we welcome from the last version. However, the built in ANSI viewer is not. While it enables you to see the sometimes colorful displays, it scrolls downward at its own pace. You can pause the display, but it cannot be controlled in terms of speed nor can you go back or stop. This is a nice feature that needs attention and improvement. You can, however, specify a viewer other VbANSI through the configuration menu.

VbReader has the luxury of a twit filter to eliminate the undesirable and a search engine to locate the desirable. The ability to save messages as text or to send them to your printer is also useful. I especially appreciate the speed at which one can switch from reading messages to the overall list with a quick Control-M, very useful when scanning a large conference. Also, you're not limited to Qmail with VbReader; configure it for Markmail, Rosemail, Kmail or Cmpmail. There are many other configuration options that make the program even more versatile, and there is the ability to add and delete conferences from within VbReader.

One problem I ran into was the enforcement of using the specified name within the User Info for the "FROM" in my messages. VbReader will not allow you to vary that without stopping you with an error message. It apparently keys into your name and depends upon it for a registration key. I use a slight variation on my name for a couple of boards, as well as a pseudonym on a special board to which I belong. Tough luck.

I would recommend that anyone seeking a Windows-based off-line mail reader take a test drive of VbReader. I've enjoyed it in its past lives and intend to continue to enjoy it despite its new shareware status. The author has supported it well through its freeware stages, so I can only expect bigger and better things now that he will have some encouragement in the form of compensation

The registration for VbReader is a very reasonable $25.00, especially a bargain since it allows upgrades to future versions at no charge. VBRE150L.ZIP is the large installation kit for VbReader; VBRE150S.ZIP is the smaller kit which omits the required VBRUN200.DLL and includes an abbreviated public domain tagline file.
