Our shareware and freeware products 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. German and Japanese versions and a French program
interface are available from http://www.funduc.com.  Cost: $25

Directory Toolkit for Windows 95/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).  File operations and directory comparison functions work
seamlessly on files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract
files first.  Other features include 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; Command line switches
to automate comparisons & synchronize operations via batch files;
Configurable output file and print functions to create reports of
single and comparison directory lists; Detects & runs (optionally)
setup programs in archives; File numbering to number files
sequentially based on adjustable sort order and a user defined
starting value.  Help file with examples included.  A complete
German version and Japanese language module 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.

Limit Edit (freeware) - Expands upon the built-in limit feature 
for edit boxes and rich edit controls by letting you set your own 
maximum size settings for the amount of text permitted in edit boxes 
and rich edit controls.  For example, you could use Limit Edit to 
set a limit on the amount of text allowed in an instance of the 
Notepad text editor.

Patch Creator - Created for software authors, this program is used 
to make patches for updating registered versions software. Both 
the patch creator and patch applicator are easy to use GUI programs. 
The creator is a Win 95/98/NT utility. It can create either 16 or 
32 bit patches that are self-contained in a single GUI .EXE. 
Compression can be used to reduce file size. You can require 
passwords (or not). Files on users' machines can be updated from 
a specific version, added regardless of existing version, removed 
or renamed.

Decode/Encode DLLs - Also a developer tool, the Decode/Encode DLLs 
can be called from any Windows programming language (such as VB, 
Visual C, Powerbuilder, etc.).  It allows you to automatically 
detect if a given file is UUENCODED, Base64(MIME), XXENCODED, 
BinHex or encoded with a user-supplied table.  The DLL can then 
decode the file(s) either in the current directory or in one 
specified by the user. Binary files can also be encoded for 
transmission over the Internet.
