Slice''n''Splice
By SadMan Software
Picture a scenario... You''ve spent a substantial part of the day down-loading the latest, fastest, bestest shoot-em-up game demo. And of course, you''re not stupid, so you did this at work using the fast company internet connection. But you wouldn''t dare actually play the thing at work, far too risky, you don''t want to get fired after all. But it''s 56 MB, and the only way to get it home is to copy it onto 41 floppy disks. Oh well. You spend eons zipping it onto a huge pile of floppies and eagerly take them home. You start unpacking them. It takes an age, but you''re so looking forward to the game. All is going fine, but then disaster strikes - the fortieth floppy is duff. You can''t read from it. You realise, with mounting dismay, that you''ll have to create the whole zip set again. All 41 floppies of it. Unlikely? A tall story you think? Well it happened to me. Really, it did. Enter Slice''n''Splice. It slices huge files into floppy (or any other) size chunks, and then splices them back together again. Each chunk can be copied to a floppy independently of the rest. Once you have all the chunks where you want them, simply run Slice''n''Splice again (or run the optionally generated MS-DOS .BAT file) to splice the chunks back into the original file. If a floppy fails and a chunk is corrupted, then first of all Slice''n''Splice will detect this and warn you about it, and secondly, you only need to recopy that one bad chunk. Not the whole set. You can even create a shortcut to Slice''n''Splice in the SendTo directory. Then simply right-click on a file, select Send To from the pop-up menu, then select Slice''n''Splice. Easy.

Counter Spy
By Sunbelt Software
CounterSpy detects, deletes and protects! CounterSpy has Active Protection. You could call it a "spy-wall." There are "checkpoints" that are monitored in real-time for attempts to install spyware. A very high percentage will be blocked by CounterSpy. Just like the early days of viruses, spyware is quickly becoming an increasing threat to both individual and corporate computer users. Spyware does more than just steal information about your computing habits. It slows down your PC and might break it so badly you cannot even get on the Internet any more. This page tells you about the stand-alone version of CounterSpy for consumers. But there is also an enterprise edition.
Fractal Tune Smithy
By Robert Inventor
Create beautiful music effortlessly - and discover your talent as a budding composer! Choose one of the tunes that come with the program or enter a very short musical phrase of a few notes, and hear it transformed into an intricate tracery of music. The music is fractal which means it is highly structured, but natural sounding too, like bird song, or the sound of the wind. Any tuning is possible; no need to restrict your creativity to the equal tempered twelve tone system or even the octave. Tune your music as freely as a bird when it sings. Try authentic historical temperaments with tunings for keyboards from Bach or Mozart''s time. Try tunings for Indonesian Gamelans, or Indian music with drones. Try modern exotic tunings such as non octave scales, or musical geometries with highly symmetrical floating chord patterns. Explore the effects of instrumentation, and take ones first steps as a composer in an envionment where melody making is effortless. Suitable even for complete newbies to composing - and there is no need to be able to read music notation. Play in any of the tunings and temperaments yourself with a music keyboard. Play melodies and chords on the p.c. keyboard - with the space bar as a sustain pedal, and the mouse scroll wheel as a modulation wheel :-). Play legato style (if your synth supports it) in microtonal tunings as readily as you do in twelve equal. What else - make fibonacci rhythms which are highly structured, but never repeat exactly. Make polyrhythm metronomes. A mouse theremin which can play sliding chords as well as single notes. Send your tunes to your friends as musical e-cards. Over a megabyte of help, tutorials, FAQ, example midi clips and tunes, etc.

HierCube OLAP library for VCL
By Radar-Soft, L.L.C.
HierCube Library is a set of VCL components designed to create fast, handy, and powerful OLAP-applications in different IDE. The library has its own OLAP-engine made using MOLAP-principle, and allows you making OLAP-views "on the fly", not wasting time and memory for intermediate calculations. Calculations performance doesn''t depend on the cube capacity and the depth of hierarchical dimensions. For example, one million records fact table is processed for less than a second. No OLAP server required. Main features: - 100% Unicode support - "Star" or "Snowflake" schemas support - Hierarchical dimensions of any nesting level, defined with "Parent-Child" relations - Several flat dimensions grouped into a hierarchical one (composite or multilevel dimension). - Dimension filters: allows to exclude any members from the current OLAP-view - Dimension groups: allows to gather any members into a single group during. - History of OLAP-views: allows "undo", "redo" operations during OLAP-analysis - Three types of calculated summaries: see data that you really want. - Different aggregate functions and sub-functions: using different functions to display cube data. Sub-functions display the final result in different ways like displaying % value instead of the function value. - Supersaturated cubes: no need to group records in the SQL-queries. - Saving/Restoring: allows to save all cube and/or all OLAP-views in a disk file and restore it back later on. - Fact table editing: allows to use HierCube library to create cross tabulated tables. - Displaying current OLAP-slice in a diagram. - Dimension attributes: displaying additional information given from the dimension table from any member. - No standard problems of "sparse" multidimensional cubes like "database explosion" or "cube sparsity". - Vast export functionality: copying to Clipboard, exporting in the most common formats: PDF, RTF, HTML, XLS, CSV, BMP, WMF, and other. - Easy localization.
