In addition, CPUSpy has a cache speed test and all data can be saved in a HTML report file.

With today's huge hard drives it becomes easy to accumulate large collections of media files. This becomes a problem when you realize that your collection of 5000 files is full of duplicates... TwinSeek however will speed sorting significantly by comparing all the files in a directory, and will then show what ones are 95% similar. TwinSeek can also used to provide a detailed comparison of the differences between two files.

Most file encryptors use methods that rely on the theory of computational security, that is difficulty of key factorisation prevents decryption of the file. But this method may not work forever. CryptIt is designed to use conventional XOR encryption on keys that are the same size as the file to be encrypted. CryptIt also has a ability to use removable media (USB drives, CDs, floppies) as a key code book.

Ute is a compact assembly language utility with Time Syncing, Window Shutdown control, Wave File playing, Delayed / Controlled Running and Wallpaper Changing capabilities.

Playlists are a useful way to organize your digital music... if you have only a few hundred songs. Once you have thousands of tunes, it becomes a chore to modify playlists to suit changing tastes / moods.

It creates playlists as it plays that it creates based on how you, and nine other users, rate the tune.

This Assembly Language program is for splitting large files for easier distribution. Using either a normal window or a wizard interface, files can be split by either the number of files that you want, the maximum file size, or you can use preset common sizes for EMailing, floppies, Zips, CDs, etc... The program supports file time and attributes preserving, CRC, BAT file unchopping, command line operation and even simple encryption.

Most file encryptors use methods that rely on the theory of computational security, that is difficulty of key factorisation prevents decryption of the file. But this method may not work forever. XorIt is designed to use conventional XOR encryption on keys that are the same size as the file to be encrypted.
