Mouse

In Java, allows you to find out where the mouse in on the screen, even when it is not over one of your apps. This has similar function to MouseInfo.getPointerInfo in Java 1.5+. This class will work in any version of Java. It uses JNI and a DLL, so it only works on Windows. You must install the nativemouse.dll somewhere on the path. Then your programs can find out the x and y position of the mouse, [(0,0 is the upper left of the screen] at any time by calling: Point p = com.mindprod.mouse.Mouse.getWhereMouseIsOnScreen() Java and C source included. You can test the program by typing: java -cp C:\ com.mindprod.mouse.Mouse Where C:\ in where you installed the com/mindprod/mouse directory. The nativemouse.dll must be on the path, e.g. in the current directory. With JDK 1.5, the DLL can be in the jar, so long as it has no package path.

BOOTSave

BootSave saves/restores the master boot sector on the hard disk. Suite of three utilities BootSave, BootRest and BootChk. Protects against damage to the partition table or boot sector done by rogue programs, viruses or accidents with tools like Norton NU. The BootSave suite will work under DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98/ME, OS/2, but not NT, Windows 2000, XP, or Vista. These OSes block low level disk I/O as a security measure. You should temporarily boot from a DOS diskette to save or restore. You can save the boot record under Win2K/XP (but not Vista) but you must boot under DOS to do the restore. This version does NOT save the boot sectors for each individual partition, just the MBR (master boot record) that contains the primary booting code, and the partition information for the four primary partitions. Have a look at Acronis or Boot-It for a complete backup. You must use BootSave PRIOR to damaging your hard disk to be of any use!

CreditCard Validator

The CreditCard Validator will help you tell: 1. if a credit card number is valid, 2. which credit card vendor handles that number. It is a simple Applet to demonstrate the use of the ValidateCreditCard class. It validates the prefix and the checkdigit. It does *not* contact the credit card company to ensure that number has actually been issued and that the account is in good standing. It will also tell you which of the following credit card companies issued the card: Amex, Diners Club, Carte Blanche, Discover, enRoute, JCB, MasterCard or Visa. ATM cards use a different secret scheme which this program does not handle. Unfortunately, there is not even a reliable way to tell an ATM card from a credit card just by the number. It is primarily designed to be included in your own Java program, though it can be used standalone or as an Applet. To install, Extract the zip download with WinZip, available from http://www.winzip.com (or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please, often C:\ -- ticking off the (user folder names) option. To run as an application, type: java -jar C:\com\mindprod\creditcard\creditcard.jar adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is. You must have Java version 1.1 or later installed to use this package. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.

FourTidy

To tidy and sort a JP Software 4NT/4DOS hidden descript.ion file. These files are used by the 4NT DESCRIBE utility to track what your various files or for. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/fornt.html for more information on the 4NT command processor. First make the directory containing the usually-hidden descript.ion file current. e.g. C: cd \env Then invoke the java program with: java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\fourtidy\fourtidy.jar If you have Excelsior Jet, (http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html/) you can compile the jar and simplify that long-winded command to: fourtidy.exe To save typing, create a *.BAT file on the path containing the command. You might also want to hide/reveal the descript.ion file with: attrib +h descript.ion attrib -h descript.ion Fourtidy will sort, tidy, and prune duplicates in the descript.ion file. It will also create a non-hidden file called readme.txt with the information about all your files in the directory in aligned human readable form. Be careful, fourtidy will replace any existing readme.txt file you may have in the directory!!

Quoter

Converts text with many possible cleanups, including preparation of HTML and Java, aligning in columns, character set conversion, case converting, removing excess white space, removing blank lines, preparing regex expressions.... converts raw text with the following possible cleanups: 1. Quoting for HTML, e.g. dealing with ampersand or accented characters. 2 . Converting HTML entities; back to plain characters. 3. Stripping out HTML tags 4. Quoting for Java String literals e.g. c:\MyDir\MyFile.txt -> "c:\\MyDir\\MyFile.txt" 5. Quoting for Java char[] literals e.g. c:\ -> new char { ''c'', '':'', ''\\'' } 6. removing leading and/or trailing spaces. 5. removing embedded control characters. 7. collapsing runs of spaces into one space. 8. collapsing multiple blank lines into one line. 9. converting to UPPER, lower, or Book Title case. 10. Aligning space or comma delimited text in columns. 11.Aligning Java source in columns (considers "\"", ''\'''', /* comment */, // ... in column delimiter rules). 12. Converting raw multiline clipboards into regexes by quoting reserved characters for search/replace for Funduc or Java regexes. Often followed by converting to Java string literals

Biorhythms Calculator

Calculates and displays biorhythm graphs. Enter your birthdate and this Applet and it will calculate your biorhythms. It computes your 23-day physical, 28-day emotional, 33-day intellectual and combined cycles. The combined cycle is sometimes called the luck cycle. The theory of biorhythms is when the cycles are positive/high you will have high energy. When they are negative/low you will have low energy. When they are zero or critical, you will have unstable energy. If you register, you have the option of having me prepare you a customised version. You need to send me three things: 1. What you want to see as the title, brand it with your name. 2. a 75x75 gif, jpg or png logo for the upper left corner. 3. a 75x75 gif, jpg or png logo to show on especially lucky days (optional) To install, Extract the zip download with WinZip, available from http://www.winzip.com (or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please, often C:\ -- ticking off the (user folder names) option. To run as an application, type: java -jar C:\com\mindprod\bio\bio.jar adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.
