Sort by DateCheck All HTML Files With Tidy
 | Download: Size: Updated: | alltidy.zip 138,747 bytes December 08, 2011 |
A program to scan
all of the HTML files in a directory for errors or warnings using
the Windows command line HTML Tidy program (included). This is a
smart check that skips non-HTML files (like images or style
sheets) and only reports the files containing HTML errors or
warnings that need your attention. This makes it very easy to
quickly locate and fix errors in a whole web site no matter how
complex.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | bcopy.zip 14,471 bytes December 02, 2005 |
There is a problem with some
versions of Microsoft Windows that allows programs to create and
use files larger then 2 Gigabytes, but the copy function built into
Windows Explorer and command prompts reports an error when
attempting to read those files. This program does not care how
large a file is, or where it is located. If Windows can see the
file, this program can copy it. This is a binary copy that retains
all file attributes and time/date stamp information - a true copy.
Fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is included. Do not use
this program to place files larger than 2 gigabytes on to an
IPAD-OS server that is not using the IPAD-OS boot loader or that
has an IPAD-OS boot loader with a build number lower than 4.20.1596.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | dirinfo.zip 18,896 bytes October 05, 2008 |
This program scans and
reports information about a directory and optionally the
subdirectories too. This program is designed to be extremely light
weight and fast so it can be used repeatedly in batch files and
automation tasks with minimum performance impact. It was written
for ISP use to track and react to the file resource requirements of
users without imposing hard limits that normally prevent temporary
over-limit conditions such as uploading a new web site before
removing the old one. This program allows simple batch files to run
on a schedule to check and react to changing conditions.

utility to include text files in an IPAD-OS mail authority file, or
almost any other control file that supports comment lines. This
tool retains compatibility with the IPAD-OS Web Manager and the
included file can be edited and re-included without risk of
duplication. This is designed to make your life as an IPAD-OS mail
server administrator much easier. One of the more common IPAD-OS
requests is for the ability to include multiple files into one
large mail authority file while still retaining the ability to use
the IPAD's web management interface to monitor and keep track of
everything. More details about exactly how this tool can make your
life easier is found in the included documentation. Full PowerBASIC
source code is included in this distribution.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | shred.zip 41,768 bytes September 20, 2011 |
Do you need to cleanly remove
sensitive or personal files from your disk? Now you can make sure
those old banking/accounting/tax files are gone for good. This
program overwrites with walking picket fence
alternating bit
patterns. No matter what size the file, it is overwritten with at
least a megabyte of data or up to the available disk space. When
the file overwrite is complete, all three file time-date stamps are
reset, and the file name is changed then erased. The combination of
these functions destroys the data inside the file, the true file
size, time, date and the name of the file. Use with caution. File
recovery after shredding is impossible. The fully commented
PowerBASIC/CC source code is included.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | skill.zip 34,356 bytes November 04, 2008 |
A Smart Email Kill utility to scan
the raw SMTP files on an IPAD-OS email server from your Windows
workstation and locate messages that contain your search text. This
is much safer than a simple find/erase because all parts of the
matching messages are erased and the correct file locking methods
are used. This can be used to help clean out the email directory
from a denial of service attack or when a virus infected email
client bombards your system. This works through any CIFS/SMB
connection to the IPAD-OS mail server and does not conflict with
IPAD-OS email service. Fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is
included. Featured download for May 2005.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | spread.zip 28,304 bytes November 12, 2008 |
This program moves files by groups
into subdirectories. Things can get very slow if you have a large
number of files all in one directory. This program allows you to
move those files into subdirectories each containing a subset group
that can make searching and working with the files a lot faster
especially for programs that continually scan or count files in the
directory. There are two methods that can be used to group the
files; number and alphabetical. The fully commented PowerBASIC/CC
source code is included.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | spy_not.zip 126,461 bytes July 10, 2007 |
This is a tool to
translate a public list of known spyware web sites into IPAD-OS
format for including into the BOOT.NAM on your DNS server. The list
is very large (over 12,000 domains) and may cause extra work load
on your IPAD-OS server if you have hardware over 5 years old. A DNS
list this large is not compatible with older IPAD-OS versions (5.52
or older) and can cause the web management interface to crash. It
is important to note that the IFX Group does not maintain the
master list of domain names, we just provide the format conversion
tool. The fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is included so
you can freely modify to meet exact your needs.

This program makes sure all of
the files in a directory (including all subdirectories) have unique
file names. This is useful for those with digital cameras and large
collections of pictures with similar and sometimes meaningless
machine-generated file names. Once all file names are unique, they
may be freely organized or combined into any directory within the
starting directory tree without conflict. The original file name is
preserved, but long file name support is required. Complete
PowerBASIC source code is also included with a nice example of how
to scan very full directories with many thousands of files in only
a few seconds using the Windows API.

Please let us know if you find errors, make corrections or updates or have suggestions for improvements in any of our files.
Uninformed programmers may say that some form of C++ is the most powerful language for application development, but when you take into account the time required to write the program, the time required to debug and maintain the program and the support files required to run that program, nothing comes close to PowerBASIC.
