ComBridge: This application allows Unix and Linux system to call COM, DCOM and COM+ Automation objects running on WIN32 systems. It is implemented as a Unix/Linux client library and a  WIN32 service / server program. A beta version of a Java Client is also available. Support is included for retrieving and using ADO Recordsets. ComBridge calls can be embedded in CORBA wrappers facilitating CORBA/COM communication

FixGateway: The Fix Gateway provides a simple  Application Programming Interface (API) for connecting to Fix Engines. It is very easy to use and requires the programmer  to use only a few methods of a FixClient class. Their are versions available for UNIX/Linux and WIN32 systems. The system includes a fix server program that can read either journal files or files written in a simple scripting language that makes testing your application very easy - NB Sample code is included. For Windows users only, the Fix Class Library is further encapsulated as an Active X control. The API allows for easy switching of i/o from on line data to files, and, of course, provides a utility class for building and interrogating fix messages.

InstallScript: This is a system for creating WIN32 installations. The application comprises a Scripting Language and a 'Wizard' that makes the production of Installations very easy, far easier than similar applications currently available. Support of password protection and Application Key Generation is also provided. InstallScript fully supports replacing running DLLs and EXEs, and permits the installation to be stoped and re-started after a re-boot. It also supports the maintenance  of object/file reference counts. InstallScript is ideal for distributing software to third parties or within your own organization. It is designed to work with SXAzip, Octatec's Self eXtracting Archive generation program. It has built-in support for SMS. And of course, it automatically generates uninstall scripts!

SXAzip: This application enables the production of Self eXtracting Archives. It is used by InstallScript as the way to distribute and install packages; however it is also very useful for personal and system backups. It supports a simple scripting language that allows the easy production of repetitive backups on a regular basis. Archives are compressed, and can be password protected and/or encrypted.

DiskUsage/DiskClean: This pair of applications enable you to determine what is using all your disk-space, and then re-claim it. E.G. if your are a developer you can easily clean up all of the compiler’s intermediate files with ‘DiskClean’. You can save a ‘clean-up’ configuration so the same clean-up job can be easily repeated. DiskUsage is an explorer-like application which displays a histogram of the disk-usage of all files and sub-directories.

Virtual Desktop Manager: This application allows you to have upto 8 virtual desktops on one screen. It is extremely fast and easy to switch between virtual desktops and select which windows appear on which virtual desktop. A sophisticated wallpaper changer is integrated with the application which allows you to select different wallpaper for each virtual desktop.

SimpleGrid:SimpleGrid is a very easy-to-use Active/X Grid control suitable for use in Visual C++ or Visual Basic Applications. There are many methods and properties that allow a great deal of control over the grids appearance, but very few methods need to be used to get a working application. Cells can be edited as normal, via a drop-down list of choices, or via check-boxes.
 

All the software is available for a very reasonable price. Demonstration versions of all the software can be downloaded.
