Universal Extractor v1.6.1
webfork on 8 Jul 2016 Change history
- 11MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 12 May 2010
- Suggested by DigeratiPrime
Universal Extractor allows you to extract files from a wide variety of archive files, including ZIP, ARJ, LZH, as well as MSI and EXE files created using various installer packages (such as Nullsoft, Wise, Inno Setup, etc). Useful for testing apps for portability because you can extract files directly from installer packages without having to go through the installation process. Note that the original developer no longer updates the program so some manual updates may be required.
Alternatively, an unofficial version with the latest-and-greatest internals is available (on Lupo's PenSuite site).
Commercial use note: license restrictions are present on included files UHARC02.EXE and UHARC04.EXE, but can be deleted without dramatic impact on the software. See website for more information.

UPX Tool v1.0.3 (unofficial 1.1.1)
webfork on 23 Feb 2016 Change history
- 274KB (uncompressed)
- Released on
- Suggested by Gary
UPX is a tool that can reduce the size of system files (EXE and DLL) significantly. No additional software is required after compression and some programs will even run faster due to fewer read operations.
UPX Tool is a GUI wrapper for UPX, able to both compress and decompress.
There is an unofficial update created by Lupo PenSuite (UPX Tool+ 1.1.1) that can be download here. The main advantage of this update is functionality with UPX 3.0 (improved compression via LZMA).

Just remember that programs compressed using UPX will get reported as a virus by some anti virus software.

Tried it today on WinXP SP3 PC with a Kingston 4 GB USB flash drive and a Linux image for eeePC. The experience was horrible. I choose to not create a virtual disk (in belief that all would be done in RAM). After the Linux image start execution my brand new USB was corrupted, no data, not readable in Windows. After formatting it reports only 0.9 GB instead of 4 GB. I have rescued it using some low level utility and make an experiment in order to know is the corruption caused by MobaLiveCD v2.1 or not. After the booted image reports disk writing immediately USB stick LED indicates a writing operation and the stick became corrupted again. What if someone starts such utility from HDD? Did my experience mean that this tool can corrupt HDD too?

Another potentially brilliant app for random slideshow viewing of images under voice commands - ruined by the fact that when you pause a slideshow, a 'Paused' message appears on screen, and doesn't go away (until you un-pause)!

FastStone Capture v5.3
billon on 22 Aug 2020 Change history
- 1MB (uncompressed)

FastStone Capture is a powerful, flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility. It allows you to capture anything on the screen including windows, objects, full screen, rectangle regions, freehand-selected regions and scrolling windows/web pages. It has innovative features such as a floating Capture Panel, hotkeys, resizing, cropping, text annotation, printing, e-mailing, screen magnifier and many more.
Reported to function in Windows 7 and in Linux under WINE.
Note: FastStone Capture went payware starting from v5.4 so I have made the last freeware version available (v5.3) for direct download as the license agreement does not prohibit redistribution.

@jimdorey: I'm a little confused why we had a listing that this works with Win10 -- it really doesn't. When this version of the program stopped being developed, Win7 wasn't even out yet. Anyway, I recommend trying another software package for that OS. I've updated the entry.

@jimdorey: v5.3 works fine on my win 10 x64 using a 1080p screen resolution. Maybe you're using a high DPI screen/4k monitor, and only the last version (8.4, payware, but worth every penny) works fine in that case.

i found that the game seems easy but when you get far you lose ALOT of energy (health)... the game itself is highly addicting. My little bro scored 50000 |
