Contact Julian Gregory on 01202 600271 ------------------------------------------------------------------ SysUtils - The second of the MerCDs. Over the last couple of years I have trawled the Net and downloaded literally dozens of "utility" files. (Who hasn't?) These are shareware or freeware for the most part. The shareware nagscreens can often be supressed, to save aggravation during the evaluation period. All work under Windows 95 and 98. I thought SynTax readers might like to have the opportunity to share the best with me. For a purely nominal fee of œ10, I can put them on a CD. Please note that I am not selling the programs - the normal rules of decency and fair play apply. A few examples : Delete with Wiping - a secure delete that actually covers up the file you are deleting with random noise. Encryption - hide private files from any eyes but yours Wipe Free Space - completely cover up any residual file fragments, and optimize your disk at the same time. Annotate : add a page that you can type on to the properties sheet of any file. SmartBoard : a clipboard vastly superior to the standard SeeThru : make the icon titles on your desktop the colour you choose, or even transparent. InkSwitch : prepare your E mails off line and then send them with only two mouse clicks. Rain : a tiny utility that forces your chip to run much cooler than normal (a drop of 10 degrees is claimed) and many more. PLUS a detailed description of how to personalise your system from MSDos to Windows 98. (Save a lot of typing!) Interested? Send me a cheque, or get in touch for further details.

If you can only partially complete a game, send in as far as you can get and maybe if we all have a go together, someone will be able to finish it. The first person to send a full solution for publication for any adventure/RPG etc can have two titles from the SynTax library or one commercial program from the list which follows which includes adventures, RPGs, arcade games and utilities or one book. Contact me if you need to check machine specifications for any program, or just want more details. If you want to buy any of the games or books, make me an offer!
