Explorer Extensions allows you to perform additional tasks using a familiar interface - the Windows 95/98/ME NT/2000/XP Explorer. Explorer Extensions is a collection of enhancements for the Explorer right-click context menu. We created Explorer Extensions for those who need some of the secondary functions of our Directory Toolkit program but who don't need a comparison utility.

The Explorer Extensions functions are:

Split - Divide a large file into smaller ones for storage on floppy disks. Split can be based on the size you specify or the presence of a string to locate in the file itself. You can also specify which 'Disk' to start with. Split can write to floppies or a subdirectory on your hard disk. Split also creates a .bat routine that can 'concatenate' the files later on a machine that does not have Explorer Extensions installed.

Concatenate - The reverse of Split, Concatenate rejoins file sections to reconstruct the original file. Concatenate has a function to decode the resulting file -- useful for multipart usenet messages where the attachments are separated across multiple messages. Concatenate also has a functions to add alternating lines from the input files to the target and (optionally) remove duplicate adjacent lines. Note that Concatenate can be used to join any two (or more) files together. For example, Concatenate can be used to simplify creation of self-extracting zips based on our 'FS Zip Self-Extractor' stub.

Encode - Translates binary files into a format suitable for Internet Email attachments. Encode supports UUENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), Quoted-Printable, & XXENCODE formats.

Decode - The reverse function to Encode, Decode is used to convert e-mail attachments back to their original form. The Decode function automatically detects UUENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), XXENCODE, Quoted-Printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text.
