WRONG! Applications shouldn't store their settings in the registry. It centralizes application-specific data, making the reinstallation, copying, and settings tweaking of applications more cumbersome. For all of my programs, I use these "Windows 3.1 compatibility" functions to read/write settings to a .ini configuration file that can be placed in the directory with a program. They're actually far easier to use than the registry, too, and with minimal drawbacks. Over the years, I've been refining these functions with a wrapper module that makes accessing application settings even easier, which you can download here. It includes the following members:

• ConfigFile
• Class KeyPair
• Function Backup()
• Function Clear()
• Function ClearKey()
• Function ClearSection()
• Function DeleteSection()
• Function ReadFloatKey()
• Function ReadIntKey()
• Function ReadSection()
• Function ReadSectionNames()
• Function ReadStringKey()
• Function RestoreBackup()
• Function WriteKey()
• Function WriteSection()

This is a program that will take a Motherboard Monitor (definitely works for 5.3.3.0) High/Low log in CSV format, parse it, and output a properly formatted CSV file with only data in individual columns and each reading on a different row, suitable for import into a spreadsheet. This program was used to support a column I did on PC air cooling, found here. Source code is included so you can modify it to suit your needs if necessary. It was made using Windows XP and JDK 1.5.

This is a 3D sound demonstration app that was originally a DirectX 9 SDK sample. However, all Microsoft's example did was open one sound and spin it around the listener. I added the abiltiy to have multiple sounds placed anywhere in a 2D soundscape. It also allows the user to move the listener around in the soundscape as they would a video game. ...

This is a 3D sound demonstration app that was originally a DirectX 9 SDK sample. However, all Microsoft's example did was open one sound and spin it around the listener. I added the abiltiy to have multiple sounds placed anywhere in a 2D soundscape. It also allows the user to move the listener around in the soundscape as they would a video game. My greatest ambition for this program was to make it a sound engine for a video game set completely in the dark (hence the name), except for a scanner remniscent of the one from Aliens. However, that's far off from what I have now. For the final version, I just want to have ogg/mp3 file support and a DirectX effects editor for every loaded sound.

The source and some starter sounds are included in this release. The program is probably good for testing surround sound speakers, as well.

This program is useful for fixing out-of-sync audio in video files. It does the math to find out what framerate will bring the audio back into sync. You will still need a program like VirtualDub to fix the video file. The Readme includes a complete tutorial on how to fix audio sync issues with Media Player Classic, VirtualDubMod, and this program.
