AttriBat
--------
If you  restore a backup from MS-DOS, then files that
have the Read-Only, Hidden and System attributes will
not be restored from backup unless you set their attributes
to Normal.
That is also true if you use a DOS unzipping software, they have switches
to restore Hidden, Read Only and System but will not overwrite a 
Read-Only file or folder.
AttriBat.exe will search the hard drive for files and folders that have 
Read-Only, Hidden and System attributes and make 2 batch files.
Click Help\Help or F1 in AttriBat for help.

BlockIt
-------
Win95 only.
BlockIt doesn't work in NT, it can't block the Ctrl+Alt+Del in NT.

Once activated, it suppose to cover the whole screen including the Task bar.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Alt+Tab and Escape wouldn't work.
While BlockIt is on, if you restart computer by turning the electric switch
off then it will come back on and cover screen.
To be on the safe side, backup registry first because if you got locked
out then you will not be able to get in unless you delete the Lockit.dat in
the BlockIt directory from the Command Prompt Only or restore from
a Registry backup.

Once you execute it, double click or right click the gray area and
select Exit  if no password already selected, otherwise you have
to enter password.
To block computer you need to enter password, double click
or right click gray area and select Change password, 
you will be prompted to enter old Password, 
click OK if no old password exist,
you will be prompted again to enter new password, 
there be sure to right down password and enter it (case sensitive).
If you forget password then you will be left out unless you restore as 
explained above.
Suggest to use a simple password to start with.
If you forgot password, BlockIt will let you in the first 10 uses, 
after three times entering password.

Don't worry about it as long you know the password or you didn't 
enter any passwords and remember to double click the gray area.
I would print the above before executing it.

Calculator
----------

Click Help\Help or F1 in Calculator for help.

Calendars
----------
There is two calendars supplied, take your pick.
When browsing other months or years, it doesn't change the computer 
date, contrary to the Calendar supplied with the operating system, 
which could get you in trouble if accidentally it changed the computer 
month or year without noticing it.

Click on the year or month to select other years or months.

ChangeRes
---------
Change resolution was made because the old Change resolution found
in the web doesn't work in Win98.
To change Video resolution, depends on font used, video card and 
resolution used, a computer restart is not always necessary.
If you see that ChangeRes requires a restart for every resolution
change then ChangeRes is not the best one for you to use. 
Look for a different one, each behave differently.

its impossible to guess what the original Long file name is unless
