OpenGL Extension Viewer for Windows 3.0
Posted: 17 Mar 2008 03:01 AM CDT
Many OpenGL extensions, as well as extensions to related APIs like GLU, GLX, and WGL have been defined by vendors and groups of vendors. The extension registry is maintained by SGI and contains specifications for all known extensions, written as modifications to the appropriate specification documents. The registry also defines naming conventions, guidelines for creating new extensions and writing suitable extension specifications, and other related documentation
This program displays the vendor name, the version implemented, the renderer name and the extensions of the current OpenGL 3D accelerator. If you have an Internet connection, you can retrieve from SGI the extension´s specifications that explain the available extensions.

Attribute Changer is a power user tool to change all kind of file and folder attributes, date, time and even NTFS compression.
Basic features include changing file and folder attributes within en masse. A really useful feature is the compression/decompression of files stored on the Windows NT/2000 and XP NTFS file system. Furthermore, date and time on files and folders can be partially changed
In this case, you can advise Attribute Changer not to change the whole object data, but only parts such as day, month, year, seconds, minutes or hours. The progress can be monitored in realtime on the “Activity and Results” tab.
Filters and exceptions should be used to fine tune the process. Filters include attributes, size, date and time while exceptions are used to filter out files and directory entries using wildcards (* and ?).

eSketch PRO is a powerful schematic capture and simulation application specifically designed for the ultra fast rendition and simulation of frequency-shaping analog circuits such as preamplifiers, amplifiers, active filters, passive filters, crossovers, equalizers and tone controls. eSketch is a specialized program for circuits containing capacitors, inductors, resistors and op amps. It does not provide transistors, diodes or other non-linear devices.
The programs simplicity of use and speed of execution provide an “electronic sketching” environment in which the effects of changes in layout, component values, component tolerances and op amp Gain Bandwidth can quickly be determined.
Schematica capture:
* file merging
* importing of (registered) Filter Wiz PRO files
* rapid component (device) placement
* fast editing of component values
* op amp device database provides Gain BandWidth values for over 600 op amps
* full circuit editing capabilities such as copy, cut and paste
* annotation with text boxes and markers
Analog circuit simulation:
* automatic indication of when circuit is ready to simulate
* view two graphs simultaneously
* two voltage probes - view both, either, or difference
* save previous traces to view up to 13 voltages or currents at once
* amplitude response (real, imaginary, dB, volts)
* phase and group delay responses
* input impedance
* component current, impedance and power dissipation
* Sensitivity of output voltage to changes in component values
* transient response to impulse, step and “staircase” inputs
* “ideal” and “real” op amp models
* Monte Carlo analysis
* Parameter Sweep analysis
* pole-zero placement
As of February 2008, eSketch PRO is now freeware.

* Creates a backup copy of the document CSS.
* Is integrated in the context-menu of WindowsTM Explorer.
* Formats of color #RRGGBB and standard names of colors Red, Green, Blue etc.
* quantization of color allows optimum with the help of linear approximation to reduce length of color is reduced from (7) seven numerals up to (4) four.
* Will transform to a lowercase names of selectors and their properties.
* Sorts properties of selectors in the alphabetic order.

Battle Tanks is a funny arcade game. It´s bright and crazy, and it has cartoon-styled 2D graphics and cool music — you will not get bored!
Despite the game title, a player has a choice of three different vehicles: a tank, a rocket launcher, and a Shilka self-propelled artillery system. Each vehicle has its own performance characteristics and its own weapons.
To the point, game locations are stuffed with tons of various weapons–just pick up and fire! In the current version, several types of missiles and gun ammo are available; also there are MG turrets, troops langing and kamikaze terrorists. Various upgrades for vehicles are coming soon, including armor and engine mods!
And of course, the game has multiplayer! No special server is needed; one player just launches the game in multiplayer mode and chooses the map and maximum number of players–other players will simply join the game then. In addition, the good old split screen mode will let you and your friend run the crazy duel on the single computer!
