RegMerge

RegMerge allows you to compared your current registry hive(s) with that of an exported REG file. This will allow you to compare and contrast parts of your registry (or the whole thing) with another system, AND also allow for safely importing REG 'repair sets' to fix various PC problems.

• Compare
  By comparing your registry to that of another system, or an earlier state you can determine likely causes of problems.
• Import safely and selectively
  Instead of wondering what a REG file has done, or if it is even different than your current registry, you can now see what it will change and selectively apply it

MoveAndLink (JunctionMaster)

MOVE AND LINK - Move a folder to another drive and replace it with a junction point (hard link), making it so no path changes are required. This utilizes NTFS Junction points so works on W2K-Windows 7. Do NOT use without seeing warnings and cautions. See SHJunction (SHJunc) for a similar utility I wrote years ago. Windows Vista+ will now display these junction points (hard links) with a shortcut overlay.

Examples:
• I bought a new hard drive and want to move some of my program files to it without having to change a thing, or reinstall the software
• I have an SSD and want to minimize writes to it. Therefore, I need to Move and Link high traffic folders to another drive - a conventional one
• I am out of space on my primary hard drive partition and want to move folders from it without having to change the path I reference them by

CPU Eater

This application will simply initiate a load upon all system CPU(s). This was created for testing Process Lasso's ProBalance technology. However, it can be used to test *anything* for the effect on overall system responsiveness.

Latest version: Same as Process Lasso
License type: Free for trial, academic, or home use. Commercial use requires licensing.

MoveLater

This is a small console mode utility that will allow for deletion or replacement of files at system boot. It works with ALL Windows variants (even 9x).

Latest version: v1.02 alpha (May, 2000)
License type: Freeware and open source, not GPL. Commercial use requires license.

JCALG1

High performance compression library. Intended for extremely good compression ratio and very rapid decompression with low memory overhead. Used by PECompact (as pec2codec_jcalg1.dll, not default). Written in x86 32-bit assembly language, the full source code is included. The compression ratio is generally better than Zip's Deflate and other common compression algorithms. Included is a DLL and libraries for easy use in your own projects. For more information and compression results of the Canterbury corpus, click here. JCALG1 is utilized in many applications, including AMD for BIOS compression and VMWare for application virtualization compression. Though a bit dated now, this compression algorithm has certain advantages still today on certain data sets and environments. The one advantage it doesn't have is compression speed. Decompression speed is quite fast though, and compression ratio is competitive.. especially considering the fact that it uses no statistical algorithms. A more modern algorithm in this class is LZMA, though its decompression speed is a bit slower than that of JCALG1's. License: unclassified

PESuite

This consists of PETrim, PESubsys, PEChksum, PEHideText, PEInsert, PEClassify, and potentially other small freeware utilities. Most owrk on both 32-bit PEs and PE+ (64-bit). These are for a limited developer audience.

PE Compressor/Bundler Benchmarker

This utility, which includes C++ source, times the decompression or reconstruction time of executable compressors, bundlers, or other portable executable tools which attach themselves to a host executable. It works by timing the interval between the process creation and the instruction pointer reaching the host executable's original entry point. We use this to keep our software optimal. You can use it to test to see the effects on executable load speed for any executable 'wrapper'. License: Free for non-commericla use, Open Source

AsmVars

This nifty utility scans assembly language projects for unreferenced variables, a feature missing from most assemblers. This project is no longer maintained. It generally works well on most assembly language source, but some more sophisticated source codes using may confuse it.

Boyer-Moore Search

This high-performance string search algorithm includes assembly language source and an easy to use DLL. It includes a binary search function in addition to case sensitive and insensitive string searches. This implementation is not ideal for multiple searches for the same substring since the table is rebuilt on each search. This implementation was done many years ago. There are better implementations out there and the algorithm itself is so simple as to require only a few minutes to code from scratch.
