091911 - Updated Saw - Now using PlusMemo component, and fixes/improvement to the status bar

070311 - Some changes in TFGThing, both inifile settings and cmdline settings have been changed... Be sure to read up before incorporating the new file.

062111 - Re-introducing Explore.exe - A Windows Explorer utility for the cmdline. Re-written in Delphi, with some new features... and 64bit compliant, too.

062111 - Introducing See.exe - A tiny text viewer which is destined to be the /d viewer in TFGCmd.

061611 - Introducing Fire.exe - A ShellExecute tool with Run dialog... Also an improved INIFile.exe, and LSTFile are posted. You can find them in the TFGUTIL pages.

060111 - Yay Team! LSTFile is making a comeback! This old console tool of mine for handling lists has been entirely rewritten in Delphi. It is still on the drawing board, but it is  absolutely functioning perfectly. Just need to figure out some error trapping issues, and it will be good to go.It's just like the old one, but with some new features... I have a page ready for it's debut, if you'd like a little sneak peek. You can find it in the utilities section.

060111 - Just another major milestone in TFGThing... It sees environmental variables now, and makes one of it's own at startup. So now one can find TFGThing's root at %TFGthing% - This is a great addition, particularly for being able to access things outside of TFGThings hierarchical folder - One can now fire Windows notepad with %windir%\notepad,exe, for instance, something I could not do with the old setup. Also added positioning, and some bells and whistles to go with it. A warning to early users: this update changes the way TFGthing uses the inifile, so be sure to look in the new file, and mimic it in your own stuff...

123109 - More site updates...  Crazy busy, all of a sudden. Still working on the HTML thingy I mentioned earlier... Building a new workorder/invoice database using Open Office at the same time.. LstFiles.exe is almost ready to release in a new version... Probably the first to be released into the wild again, after the updates to accomodate Win 7 and 64bit.

123109 - More site updates, mostly technical stuff. A huge overhaul that effected every page. It may be a couple more days until all the links are working properly. This update incorporated transparent icons, A great improvement for me - and it is the final step before I begin to change the site out to css.

122309 - Announcing the new and improved Bugkit version 3!  we are happy to tell y'all that Bugkit 3.0b (beta) will be released into the wild within 30-60 days. It is a whole new system, much easier to use, with support for all WinNT versions from Win2k to Win 7.

The website is getting an overhaul too. I am upgrading the lesser articles first, but will soon get to the whole thing, including snappy new screen captures to replace the old ones (some were from 98se systems).

We are also just about ready to release our favorites for the 2009-2010 winter season... It's the only time I get to really test things thoroughly - and with test systems in WinXP, Win Vista, and Win 7 (32 and 64bit), it's taking quite a bit longer than usual.

Along with that, a whole new section for my tech friends. TFG Utilities is soon to arrive with another great addition: TFGCmd and TFGDev are being updated to run on Win 64bit machines and in order to make it happen, I have made a neat little do-dad:

It's an HTML front-end kinda' thingy (it has no name yet) that can be turned into any kind of program one would like to have (Bugjkit is built with this same dohickey). It captures commands, can capture output from radio-buttons, checkboxes, and text boxes (and hopefully combo-boxes and lists too) written in vbScript (and maybe Java). But this is only a wee executable. While it will eventually be able to compile all pages (I hope), it's main function is to be like an HTA on crack. All of the HTML pages are outside of the .exe - Just point it at the first page (index.html by default), adjust the window size in the executable's companion file (ini), and build the rest right into your html. Easy to update, very open-source, very quick. and it will have a hidden cmd box for executing in batch whatever one cannot do in the pages. In function, it will do what I have been doing with WBAT, but is 64bit compatible, and functions (mostly) right in the Windows environment - So it is no longer tied to the cmdbox.

That's about it for the updates. Sorry it has taken me so long, but I am still alive and picking up steam.
