PowerArchiver is the ultimate archive utility for the
Windows® family of products. With a modern easy-to-use
interface, PowerArchiver provides support for most compressed
and encoded files, as well as access to many powerful features
and tools. PowerArchiver is the most complete archive utility
available today.

Supports ZIP, CAB, LHA (LZH), TAR, TAR.GZ,
TAR.BZ2, BH, RAR, ARJ, ARC, ACE, ZOO, GZ,
BZIP2, XXE, MIME, and UUE file formats
- Includes an internal viewer that supports TXT,
RTF, BMP, ICO, WMF, and EMF files
- Support for unlimited size ZIP archives
- Create ZIP and CAB self-extracting archives
- Repair corrupted ZIP archives
- Extract multiple archives at the same time

I thought Ultimate ZIP was good; but this is the best yet and only $19.95 if you decide to buy it. LINK

HoverWeather is a new freeware app that will display the current weather on the desktop. Displayed are location, local time, weather conditions and temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit). HoverWeather is also capable of displaying tomorrow´s weather forecast. LINK

I think I like the ease of Crazy Browser better. I know I like the full screen function of CB very much. Just tabs at the top and nothing but the page! Makes reading more enjoyable! Viewing too

I've been using this great utility since the late 90's called Media Changer Deluxe. It runs in the Tasktray and what it can do is change your desktop theme, your sound alerts, desktop wallpaper, screen saver, all at times that you can set yourself, like every hour, on startup, etc. Fully customizable so you can have some items change more often than others, or not have certain items change at all. It's nice to not have the same alert sounds and wallpaper all the time...makes everyday computing just a little more fun and different.

Unfortunately, Swoosie Software, the company that made it, is no more. They were actually just a couple of guys developing software on the side outside of their full time jobs. I've used this software through a few versions and since Windows 95. The last version released in 1999 still works like a charm, even in Windows XP!

Clean off your icons on the desktop, package them in a folder(s) on the quick launch tool bar. This is really neat. I have it and am still finding neat goodies that it can do.

Xinox software's Jcreator.
It's a great Java IDE, lots of *Nifty* features.
www.jcreator.com

There is a free, and a pay version, and I have no problems with the free one!

Utility: Samurize

URL: www.samurize.com

Desc: "Samurize is a program that with low resorces (about CPU: <1.0% on a Celeron 600) displays information from PerfMon and lots of other info, right to your desktop. It's higly configurable to suit every need."

My take: This suka can even monitor my heart and cholesterol level and present it in a nice progress bar and histogram (given the right plugin and setup). ALL in all this thing does it all.

**SubZero** · 01-03-2003, 01:24 AM

Looks promising... Couldn't test it yet because it doesn't run on Windows NT.
