Thank you for your interest in Directory Toolkit!

Directory Toolkit for Windows 95/98/NT (shareware) - A
multipurpose directory and file utility 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. Directory comparisons can be based on dates
or a binary file analysis of actual 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 ZIP archives from Explorer and
Directory Toolkit can serve as your primary archive manager
for supported archives. File operations (copy, move, delete,
rename) and directory comparison functions work seamlessly on
files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract files first. 

Other features include Explorer compatible OLE drag n Drop;
Split/Concatenate files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode
UUENCODED, Base64(MIME), Binhex files (Decode also includes
quoted-printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text); An integrated
file comparison viewer for a color coded display of the actual
differences in files; Safe physical sort of directories; Touch
files (change time/date stamp); 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; Command line switches to automate comparisons &
synchronize operations via batch files; User configurable
output file and print function to create reports of single and
comparison directory lists; Automatically detects & runs
(optionally) setup programs in archives; File numbering during
rename, move, & copy operations that allow you to number files
sequentially based on adjustable sort order and a user defined
starting value. Cost: $25

New features in v2.4-2.68 include:
- CAB support for compression and decompression
- Multi-ZIP spanning
- Display of Version for EXE, DLL, OCX files (see Options/Output)

  and the delimiter can be changed. 
- Data tips are displayed when data in a column of the main window 
  is partially displayed. 
- If an archive is first displayed and it contains a SETUP program, 
  Directory Toolkit prompts if all files should be temporarily 
  decompressed and the installation executed.  Upon completion, 
  closing DT will clean the temporary files. 
- Extract and Add to ZIP toolbar buttons and menus are available. 
- You can select several files and/or directories from the Explorer, 
  right-click and select Add to ZIP file.  Also, archives in the 
  form of self-extracting executables in PKZIP format can be

  same path (ie. e:\ and e:\).  This option can also be used with 
  different drives and files will be matched regardless of the 
  complete path. 
- Command line parameters can now be used to start a synch or
  compare directories operation.  See help for more specifics. 
- Compare Files will automatically detect if one of the files is 
  binary and display the report as a Hex Dump rather than a 
  line-by-line comparison.

  files.  No limit on the number of files processed exists. 
- Two status messages are displayed (one for each directory). 
- Decoding now supports XXENCODED, user (table) formats as well
  as multi-part and multiple attachments in one file. 
- Drag and Drop to and from any application that supports OLE file 
  dragging.

include:

Search and Replace for Windows 95/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.  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: "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/NT and a detailed help file with examples are
included. Several foreign language interface are available 
from http://www.funduc.com.  Cost: $25

Registry Toolkit (shareware) - Registry Toolkit is a utility for 
advanced computer users that performs search &/or replacement 
operations on the Windows 95/98/NT registry. You can 
search/replace using case sensitive or insensitive settings and
regular expressions in registry data, values, keys (or any 
combination) and specify the types of data to process. If you 
cancel a search the results up to that point (if any) are 
displayed in a tree list. You can print and print preview the
search results, import or export parts of the registry to/from
text files, create and edit keys, values, & data of all types, 
delete keys & values (after confirmation), and undo the last 
changes made. Registry Toolkit will operate on a remote 
registry (if you have permission to do so).  Cost: $25

Shortcut Doctor for Windows 95/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/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/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/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 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.

Custom programming and consulting services are also available.
