Useful Utilities

15 February 2011

I thought it would be useful to create a small non-Elder Scrolls related page with all the useful programs that could be used with ES, but with many other things as well. Programs like good hex or text editors as well as some source code (eventually, maybe). Feel free to submit programs, links, or source you feel just has to be here.

Important Notes: Some links download things while others bring you to another page where you can download, just so you know before madly clicking things.


Name Type/Size Description
Useful Programs
Programmers File Editor
6 June 1998
Link Great, free, text editor for Windows. All kinds of options, can handle large text files, etc... Great replacement for notepad.
Hex Workshop
6 June 1998
Link One of the better free hex editors for Windows that I've found. Not fancy but contains everything you need. Hex calculated, base convertor etc...
Visual Basic 5 Runtime Files
20 June 1998
4.8MB Zip These are the libraries and controls required in order to run a program created with Visual Basic 5. I'm putting it here so you only have to download it once and not with every application created with it (which are usually less than 100kb alone in size). Create a temp directory somewhere and unzip this file into it. Run the setup program to install things. A very simple program VB5TEST comes with the package to ensure that everything works. Let me know if you have problems with it.
SEARCH
6 June 1998
34 kb ZIP This program allows you to search for a text string in a text or binary file. It doesn't give offsets but just a count of how many occurences it finds in each file (wildcards allowed). I use it to find which file I should be searching for something in. Fast, can search 2MB/sec on a P233 although speeds will vary depending on a number of things. ZIP file contains the main source code.
DIRSIZE
6 June 1998
12 kb ZIP Want to which directory is taking up the most space (besides windows...:). This simple util lists the number and size of directories in the current one. ZIP file includes the main source code.
MOSLO.ZIP
1 October 1998
3 kb ZIP A useful program for running those really old games on those stunningly fast pentiums. This freeware utility can slow your computer from 1 to 99% making those games much more playable.
TURBO.ZIP
26 January 2002
50 kb ZIP Another free utility for slowwing down your computer under Win95 or NT (and assumbly under other more recent windows versions).

Useful Links

ZDNet Home Page
6 May 1998
Link Great page with just about everything. Large collection of freeware, shareware and demo programs. Hints, tips, reviews on just about everything. Latest news on all fronts. Definitely worthy of a place on the bookmark list. Sometimes hard to navigate since there is so much info, but a small price to pay.
