Termite - a simple RS232 terminal for Microsoft Windows
-
Termite is an RS232 terminal that is very easy to configure and use
(developers can pre-configure it too, so that it runs out of the box).
REGDRV - instal kernel drivers in Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista
-
Kernel drivers in Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista must be explicitly registered
to be active. This utility,modelled after REGSVR32 (which installs in-process
COM servers), is a simple program that does this. Its "silent mode" also
makes it convenient for installing drivers from a script or a setup program.
The .ZIP file contains a README with usage instructions.
Recent update: the utility is now Vista-compatible, by adding a (self-signed) code certificate and privilege options in the manifest.
Palette Spy - view the system palette
-
The palette spy shows the current system palette. When running under Microsoft
Windows 9x/ME, it also shows how the currently active "logical" palette maps to
the system palette. This utility accompanies the article on the
Microsoft Windows Palette Manager.
