Select an area on the screen and instantly pop the captured image into Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, or Excel.

Save the image as a file (BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG), send it by email, print it, copy it to the clipboard, or open it in your image editor or Microsoft Paint. You can capture the entire screen, just the contents of one window, or any one of 10 custom shapes: rectangle, ellipse, circle, square, rounded rectangle, racetrack, triangle, diamond, hexagon, octagon. The image can be rotated to any angle, mirrored, flipped, scaled, color inverted, made black and white. It can be stamped with the date, time, or your name. Many custom backgrounds (32 patterns) are provided and the edges can be blended. You can create nice portraits, like the tiger cub shown above with a blue pattern background and blended edges.

Cappy can capture any image you can get up on the screen. It does not matter which program is displaying the image.

Start the program and it appears as a small icon in the tray on the lower right of your screen. Then setup the screen you want to capture. Then click on the Cappy icon and select "CAPTURE SCREEN" on the menu. Then select the capture area shape. Then click and drag on the screen to select the capture area. Up pops the Previewer screen you see above.

   

To send the image to PowerPoint, Word, or Excel, you must have these programs installed on your computer. Cappy will automatically create a PowerPoint Slide, or a Word Document, or an Excel Spreadsheet. It will then open the program and show you the captured image. You can then do any of the functions contained in PowerPoint, Word, or Excel. For example, you can add arrows pointing out features in the captured image, or add titles or labels. You can also make more than one capture and they will all be placed in the same document. In PowerPoint each screen capture will appear on a different slide, so you can capture an entire slide show.

Some programs and web pages try to prevent you from copying their graphics. Cappy can still capture the screen even if the printscreen key is disabled. Some programs will not start if a screen capture program is detected as running. The trick here is to get the graphics up on the screen and then start Cappy. Then just capture the screen. Leave Cappy running when you surf the web and you can capture anything you see.

This is a 32 bit program and will run on Windows ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista.

This trial version will operate for 14 days. If you purchase the program for $20.00 (Twenty US Dollars) I will send you a serial number by email that will remove this line, enable continued operation with no time limit, and automatically place your name on the PowerPoint slide, Word Document, or Excel Spreadsheet. You can pay by PayPal or mail a check. If you purchase this program and are not satisfied with it for any reason I will refund your money. Pay once and all future upgrades are free. Your serial number will work with all future versions. This program, like all my programs, contains no spyware, no advertising.

CHEERS!   Blood Alcohol Calculator
Calculate the percentage of alcohol in your blood after drinking

    Download     Info     Purchase    

Enter your body weight, gender, number of drinks, and hours drinking and it calculates your blood alcohol level. The Cheers program is in the shape of a beer mug so it looks like a cute toy. It's fun and easy to use. But don't let looks fool you. It contains the very latest biological equations for the absorption and metabolism of alcohol.

The law says don't drink and drive. In most states you can be convicted of drunk driving if your blood alcohol level is over 0.08. But most people have only a vague idea of how drunk they are after a few drinks. Sure you can feel the effect of the alcohol, but exactly what is your blood alcohol level? This program will calculate your blood alcohol level based on the number of drinks, body weight, gender, and number of hours spent drinking. All of these factors enter into the calculation. A heavier person can drink more than a lighter person and still stay below the legal limit. A man can drink more than a woman and still stay below the limit. A person who spreads their drinking over a few more hours can drink more and still be legal.

I wrote this program for myself but it came out rather nice so I decided to distribute it. One day I was wondering how many drinks I could have and not be drunk in the eyes of the law. I did a lot of research and found the latest methods and equations on the metabolism of alcohol and put them into this program. In my case I can have about 3 beers in an hour and not go over the 0.08 limit. No more guesswork. And if I drink more than my limit I know I had better get a ride home.

This is a 32 bit program and will run on Windows ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista. This program contains no spyware, and no advertising

This trial version will operate for 14 days. It will give you good estimate of your blood alcohol level based on average values. If you purchase the program for $10.00 (Ten US Dollars) you get a number of advanced features that allow you to fine-tune the calculation to your body type including your height and age. The purchased version also has no time limit. You can pay by PayPal or mail a check and I will send you a serial number to enable all of the advanced features. Click on the word "Advanced" at the bottom of the beer mug to see these. If you purchase this program and are not satisfied with it for any reason I will refund your money. Pay once and all future upgrades are free.

EggTimer is a simple timer that is sort of like the cooking timer you might find in many kitchens. You set a time in minutes, it counts down the time, and an alarm goes off when the time has elapsed. It starts with the counter running. It remembers the number of minutes to count from the last time it was run. It can start minimized and you can see the counter running in the minimized icon on the task bar. When the alarm goes off, it restores itself to the screen and flashes a few times. Just click close and it is gone. Just 2 clicks. One to start, one to close. Very simple. It has a couple more bells and whistles. It can play any .WAV file as the alarm. It can count down or up. It can count from 0 to 9999 minutes. To keep things simple, the count time is entered in whole number minutes. Most egg timers work this way. It can also be run in clock mode where it will show the time of day instead of running the timer. This is one of the first programs I ever wrote. It's simple and useful.

My friend uses Egg Timer to time auctions on eBay. She sets the timer to go off a few minutes before the auction ends so she can sneak in a late bid. I use it to time my laundry so I can get my shirts out of the dryer while they are still warm. Fewer wrinkles if they cool on a hanger instead of cooling all bunched up in the dryer.

This is a 32 bit program and will run on Windows ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista.

Precision Image Digitizer (PID) is a program for tracing and recording the coordinates of selected points in a graphics image file. It can read in a JPG, GIF, or BMP file and you can then use your mouse to point and click on the points in the image that you would like to record. The coordinates are displayed on the screen as you click them and they can then be exported to an ASCII text file, exported to an AutoCad DXF file, or printed. These files can then be imported into any other program capable of reading in text files or DXF files. You can also use the Windows clipboard to copy and paste images into and out of the program. The point coordinates are measured in pixels from the zero location (0, 0) at the lower left of the image. The horizontal axis is X, the vertical axis is Y. You can assign a scale factor to the coordinates so the numbers on the bottom of the screen are displayed in real units such as inches. Setting the scale factor is very easy. Just click on two points on the image where you know the distance between the points.

This is a 32 bit program and will run on Windows ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista.

LinkMail
Send email links to files on your network

    Download     Info     Purchase    

Why do I need Link Mail?

You want to send a file to someone on your network, but maybe it is too large to send. The file may be named something like this:

G:\path\spreadsheet.xls

But you can not send this path because the drive letter may not be G on the other computer. So you have to use what are called UNC file names like this:

\\servername\sharename\path\spreadsheet.xls

So if you know this UNC name you can email this to someone on your network and they can just click on the link above and the file will open on their machine. By sending just the link you can avoid sending large attachments and clogging up email in boxes. LinkMail can help you do this by determining the UNC name. It then automatically opens your email program and places the link in the message. Just pick a recipient and press send. Even if you don't know the UNC name LinkMail does it all for you.

How it works

The first time you run LinkMail it will automatically put a shortcut to itself in your SendTo folder. Then use Windows Explorer to navigate to a file or folder on any networked drive. Select and highlight up to 9 files or folders. Right click and "Send To" LinkMail and up pops your email program with the links in the message. It works with files or folders. If you send a file link the file will open when the person clicks on the link. If you send a link to a folder then the folder will open. You can combine file links and folder links in the same message. You can send up to 9 links in one email. If the file or folder you select is not on a network drive then the normal file path with a drive letter is used instead of the UNC Name.

This is a 32 bit program and will run on Windows ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista.

If you purchase the program for $5.00 (Five US Dollars) I will send you a serial number by email that will remove the nag screen that is displayed when the program exits. You can pay by PayPal or mail a check. If you purchase this program and are not satisfied with it for any reason I will refund your money. Pay once and all future upgrades are free.

The program works fine even if you do not pay for it. There is no time limit. It will run forever. It is fully functional. No features have been removed. It contains no spyware, no advertising.

  I am PayPal Verified.   My Account Creation Date is May 30, 2000.

The Official PayPal Verified Seal above means that I have provided PayPal with proof that I have a bank account and that my address is valid. Banks are required by law to screen account holders so PayPal's verification process increases security when you pay parties you do not know. My bank has my address and Social Security number on file. You can check that I am verified by clicking the PayPal Verified Seal above or by clicking on this link:

https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=elegantpie%40hotmail.com

I use PayPal because the fees are low. If you send me $10.00 PayPal only takes about $0.59 so I net $9.41. All other payment services take several dollars so I would have to charge around $15 for my program to gain the same net. This lowers the cost to you. PayPal is usually free for most transactions, such as Ebay auction payments, but as a business I am required to have a Premier Account with fees. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still use PayPal to make a payment using your credit card or a direct withdrawal from a bank account. PayPal is a very secure and reliable payment system used by millions of people around the world. All of your personal information is encrypted.
