4NT 8.02 Build 102

If you're frustrated by the limitations of the Windows command prompt, then 4NT is the one command line tool you need. By adding thousands of features that Microsoft neglected, 4NT makes the command line easy to use, providing more power and flexibility than you ever imagined. 4NT is a powerful alternative to the Windows command processor, CMD - the program behind your C:\> prompt. 4NT enhances most of CMD's commands, and adds a wide variety of new commands designed to aid everyone from the new user to the serious batch programmer.

4NT adds features such as shorthand "aliases" for commonly used commands, pop-up command and directory history windows, and the ability to copy, move, delete, or list multiple files with a single command. Command line editing, history, and recall eliminate extra keystrokes, and the FFIND command can quickly locate files or text within a file anywhere on your system. You can even add new commands from a number of third-party developers (or write your own!) through our plugin feature.

Batch file users will be amazed at the power and speed this command line tool adds to Windows batch files, with an array of sophisticated new batch commands and a powerful interactive debugger.

Paint.NET (Beta) 3.20 Release Candidate 1

Publisher's Description:

Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.

Latest Changes:

* Note: New features will be displayed in English through the Alpha and Beta release(s). The final release will include full translations for the other supported languages
* Fixed: If a floating tool window (Colors, History, Layers, Tools) was not docked/snapped, and the screen resolution was lowered or a Remote Desktop session was initiated, then the window would stay off screen and be "lost". It is now moved to keep it on
* Fixed: An issue for plugin developers where Effect`1.Render(3) was incorrectly throwing an exception when indirectly called through Effect.Render(6). This was preventing an updated version of the "Film Noir" plugin from working, even though its code was
* Integrated updated translations for Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), and Chinese (Simplified). An updated German translation will be present in the final release

Partition Boot Manager 1.08

Detailed Features:

- Boots up to 256 completely independent operating systems or partitions. Most boot managers require installing many operating systems in a single partition. Not only is this very difficult to implement properly, but it also creates an incompatible installation. Because PBM actually supports up to 256 individual partitions you can install each operating system in its own partition using its native filesystem.
- User level security controls exactly who can boot which partitions. Up to 32 users can be defined including a guest user if desired. Every partition can specify which user or users can access it.
- Compatible with any operating system that uses the standard partition table. PBM makes every attempt to not touch the insides of partitions. The advantage of this is compatibility with virtually any operating system available.
- Two-way partition maintenance allows for partition maintenance outside of PBM. Normally when a boot manager extends the partition table beyond 4 entries, they no longer work with traditional partition utilities or disk imaging utilities. What sets PBM apart from these is that it fully supports two-way partition maintenance. You can make changes to the traditional partition table outside of PBM, or changes within PBM. If you make a change outside PBM, when it next starts it will detect the change and update its table. Partition protection keeps your partitions safe.
- Analyzes and updates common boot sectors.
- All critical partition and security information is encrypted and stored on disk twice. Not only is all of your security and partition information kept from prying eyes due to 128 bit twofish encryption, but the important data is stored twice and is automatically recovered from either copy if either one is damaged. PBM is designed with stability and fault-tolerance in mind, anything it can do without troubling the user will happen automatically.
- Flexible startup configuration allows for a full menu at startup all the way down to a stealth mode that prevents the user from knowing that PBM is even installed. Login can be forced everytime, or only when the last user has logged out.
- Intelligent setup utility will move partitions if necessary to install. It also contains logic to automatically repair PBM if it becomes damaged, upgrade, downgrade, recover from a replaced MBR, handle registration, and uninstall PBM while keeping up to 4 partitions.
- 30 Day fully functional trial period.

LEGO Digital Designer for Windows 2.3

As far back as 1999, a group of visionary LEGO product developers and engineers started thinking about letting people design their own LEGO products. They imagined people of all ages, anywhere in the world, being able create any design they could dream up – using an intuitive, free tool for digital design.

The first milestone was achieved in July 2003, when version 1.0 of LEGO Digital Designer was released. In February 2004, an online 3D Gallery went live, allowing designers to share their ideas via the Internet. By 2005, thousands of LEGO Factory enthusiasts were designing, sharing and ordering their own custom models – and the one-millionth copy of LEGO Digital Designer was downloaded on 25 September that year.

Now at version 1.6, LEGO Digital Designer is quite simply the best virtual building system out there – with its “Click-Stick” method of 3D modeling winning praise from children, parents, teachers and design enthusiasts everywhere. And, as the virtual design platform behind a growing number of LEGO products, LEGO Digital Designer is here to stay. A host of improvements and new features are already in development, including an improved user interface, new connectivity, more life-like building, Technic compatibility and improved train building and animation. So stay tuned – with LEGO Digital Designer, the future is yours.
