autins34.zip Generate random insults in a variety of styles
AutoInsult is a fun little program that generates insults for you in a
variety of styles. It then copies them into the clipboard (as text) so
that you can paste them into e-mails, documents, or wherever else a
good insult might be needed. You can also get it to pop-up an insult
at regular intervals. Whilst AutoInsult is certainly not politically
correct, it is not obscene or vulgar. The user can also specify the
degree of offensiveness they require.
Full install and uninstall support is provided.
Special requirements: None.

mhar5.zip Device driver and hardware support locator
Mark's Hardware replaces Hardware-Lynx v2.02. This program contains
an MS Access 97 database with thousands of links to hardware
manufacturer's device driver and support pages. All links are sorted
by type of hardware to make device drivers easier to find. Simply
selecting the type of hardware, then scrolling through the list of
links and clicking on the link you need is all it takes to find the
manufacturers Web site for your hardware.
This program is an evaluation version. Although this program does not
time out at all, we suggest a period of 30 days is sufficient for
evaluation and ask that you either purchase the retail version or
uninstall this version after 30 days time has gone by. The only
features disabled within this version are the Update button (instead of
taking you to the update page it will pop-up the reminder to purchase
the retail version), and the always on top feature. Several hardware
types will also pop-up the reminder notice.
Special requirements: Requires MDAC, MS Jet v4.0, and VB6 runtimes
(available from Simtel.Net as simvb6-6.zip).
Changes: Now includes an MS Access database of links to allow browsing
directly from the program.

splyr122.zip Learn guitar tablature, chords and songs
NSA Song Player v1.22 [W95]
The NSA Song Player is designed to help you learn and create songs for
the guitar. You can import tablature and hear it as it is played to
the Metronome speed you choose, or create your own songs and
progressions. Now with alternate tuning, staff and a capo, you can
enter virtually any song, see and hear it played, and find scales and
arpeggios to play over it. You can learn from the Song Player in
several different ways. It can be an invaluable reference tool, with
over 1200 chords and thousands of scales in standard tuning alone. As
notes are displayed, you can choose several options for additional
information, such as note names or relative positions. So as you play
songs you will become more familiar with the fret board and how songs
are built.
You can use the Metronome to start your practice slowly, and then build
up to speed as you become more comfortable with a song or piece of
tablature. You can also navigate through songs easily to find the
parts that are difficult for specific practice. Once you are familiar
with a song, you can test your skills by playing it in a different key
(with the click of a button), or change the fret position to learn
different variations of its chords. The Song Player comes with a
complete Guided Tour to get you started quickly. The tour walks you
through all the steps of working with chords, scales, songs and
tablature. It is completely interactive, so you can do everything as
it is explained to you.

wsrt281d.zip WordSort: Reading/spelling (word study)
WordSort is a word study educational software program for teaching
reading and teaching spelling. Recommended in Words Their Way by
Marcia Invernizzi, Shane Templeton and Donald Bear, WordSort was
originally conceived by the late Dr. Edmund H. Henderson, director of
the University of Virginia's McGuffey Reading Center and International
Reading Association Outstanding Teacher Educator in Reading in 1990.
WordSort is also featured in an article by Dr. Jeffrey Cantrell in the
September 99 issue of the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. An
early version of WordSort was the subject of an article in Reading
Psychology in which it was shown to significantly increase reading
comprehension.
WordSort provides exercise in the rapid identification of the different
sound/pattern groups. Students are asked to sort words into groups
based on the sounds and spelling patterns of the words. Words appear
on virtual cards and can be dragged with the mouse. There are
approximately 400 different sorting lessons. The words used are single
syllable words of grade levels K through four or pictures representing
words. The lessons cover all the vowel and consonant sound/pattern
groups, from beginning consonant sound sorts using pictures, to word
family (rhyming) sorts, to within word vowel Sorts. They are suitable
for students in the emergent reading stage through the transitional
stage and beyond.
Special requirements: None.

x_wl201.zip Dramatically speeds up websurfing to all sites
Xenon Web Lightning is a completely unique program that dramatically
speeds up website download times to pages you visit often. Once you
add a site you can close the program and continue to enjoy the great
increase in page load times. Nothing is saved in a cache and once a
site is added you no longer need the program running, so absolutely no
extra memory is needed. You can add either a single site/domain, or
all of your IE and Netscape bookmarks.
In the trial version you are limited to five single sites to compare
and an ad banner is displayed at the bottom. The registered version is
unlimited and the ad banner is removed. (Note: there is no personal
information sent anywhere).
