PROGRAM_NAME: MultiRes
VERSION: 1.58
RELEASE_DATE: 38972
HOMEPAGE: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/multires.shtm
DOWNLOAD: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/multires.exe
WINDOWS_OS: All
OTHER_OS:
DESCRIPTION: MultiRes works very much like a 32-bit version of the
venerable
Microsoft QuickRes 16-bit applet for Windows 95, with administrative
scripting facilities and extended capabilities to handle ClearType,
refresh rates and multiple monitors. Supported resolution and refresh
rates are accessible from the command-line or from a simple menu that
pops up from the system tray. An optional timed confirmation prompt -
enabled by default in the program About box - ensures that any changes
you make can be reversed safely, without fuss. While MultiRes - unlike
EnTech's PowerStrip - does not allow you to define new display
settings, it does give you quick and easy access to the ones the
driver makes available - in a simple, compact and conservative
package.

[1.06] Mouse Tool
======================================================================
PROGRAM_NAME: KatMouse
VERSION: 1.04
RELEASE_DATE: 39234
HOMEPAGE: http://kickme.to/katmouse
DOWNLOAD: http://kickme.to/katmouse
WINDOWS_OS: NT(SP3+), Windows 2000, XP and Vista (32/64-bit)
OTHER_OS:
DESCRIPTION: Mouse wheel enhancement for Windows.
The prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the
functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering 'universal'
scrolling: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly
beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which
is default on Windows OSes). This is a major increase in the
usefullness of the mouse wheel.
Another feature involves the wheel button. Since the wheel button is
not consistently used in Windows, KatMouse can use it for a kind of
task switching: with a click of the wheel button you can push a window
to the buttom of the stack of windows that is your desktop, making a
recovered window the active window.
