Great Stuff You Can Use!


We hope you enjoy your stay with us. The following services are provided complimentary to our guests. Newer listings are at the top, and the archives follow.


File Compression Software

eZip Wizard
Why should extracting a ZIP file be any harder than choosing a file, selecting what to extract, and choosing a destination? With eZip Wizard, it's not. eZip's simple interface guides you, step-by-step, through creating, updating, and extracting ZIP files. With eZip you're never more than three steps away from having extracted, or compacted files.

Search Tools

eScout
Finding information on the web can often be a tricky task. That's why eScout includes over 200 searches from various sites on the web. We've included ways to help you buy concert tickets, watch your stocks, check your sports scores, find the forecast and anything else we could think of. That way, you don't have to waste time finding all these sites yourself.

FTP

eFTP
Designed from the beginning to keep file transfers as hassle-free as possible, eFTP does just that by presenting FTP sites in a familiar Explorer-type interface. With a tree view on the left, changeable file view on the right, and Internet Explorer/Office 97 "buttonless buttons" eFTP Explorer breathes familiarity. eFTP remembers sites and files that you have seen and keeps the information cached in memory for easy and fast access. By getting just what is needed, when needed, eFTP Explorer makes browsing an FTP site over the web easy and fast. (And, unlike a certain browser that shall remain nameless, makes sure to clear its cache when it's through. )
