TTextDSNCreator

Ever needed to treat a delimited text file as a database file? Now you can, using this control and with a little help from the Windows ODBC drivers. This incredibly useful little Delphi component allows you to create, modify and delete Text File DSNs at runtime from a Delphi application (32 bit only).

Now supports Delphi 4, 5, 6 and 7!

Delphi 6 and 7 versions have had their internal structure completely revamped, making them a LOT easier to install and use.

We're proud to announce we have also released an ActiveX version of the component which will allow you to add, configure and remove Text DSNs from your system using any other language/development environment that supports ActiveX controls. These include ASP, Borland Delphi, Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder, Microsoft Visual C++ and many others. The control is completely standalone and doesn't require any dependancy files or Visual Basic runtime libraries.

Download the ActiveX control separately from here.

  1. Purchase either the registered version of the VCL or the ActiveX control for USD29.99 and get the other one free.
  2. Purchase the registered version of TextDSNCreator for USD39.99 and get the TextFileParser application thrown in (a saving of USD10.00!)
  3. Purchase the TextDSNCreator Source Code for USD49.99 and get a free copy of the TextFileParser application to aid you in your task (registration code will be provided).

Since our web hosting space is limited, we have to offer all the downloads separately. Where applicable, if you purchase one of the abovementioned bundles, we will supply you with a download link/decompression password/registration key where necessary for any other parts of that bundle upon confirmation of your order.

Some of you may only be interested in the ActiveX version of the software. In this case, simply purchase the VCL (Bundle 1) and you'll be supplied with it anyway.

Please also be aware that any purchase you make of any bundle above will automatically include a registered version of the ActiveX. This may change in future, but we'll let you know on this page.

TAccessDSNCreator

Ever needed to create a Microsoft Access Datasource Name (DSN) on the fly from inside your code? We certainly have! This incredibly useful little Delphi component allows you to create, modify and delete DSNs at runtime from a Delphi application (32 bit only).

Why would you want to do this? Quite often we (as developers at GWAcc) find ourselves having to climb into the control panel and muck around inside the ODBC32 applet. It gets annoying, especially if you have to do it several times in a row, even more so when it means having to switch between changing user names, passwords, paths, exclusivity... you get the idea! This component will be particularly useful to you if you're using ADO in any of your projects

This control allows you to change all the properties of the Microsoft Access DSN types, in a single movement. Simply set a couple of properties, add ONE line of code to your application, and you can Add, Reconfigure and Remove MS Access DSNs in a flash!

More control(s) to do the same with SQL Server to follow, so watch this space!

TextFileParser

As a developer, how many times have you had to read, analyse and process structured text files? How often do you wish that there was a simple way of looking at, and examining the structure without having to open up another application such as Excel to translate it?

Admittedly, if these are fixed format, whilst you can read them easily enough, counting columns is a pain - and did you need to start counting from column 0, or column 1?

There are existing utilities already on your workstation which do parts of the job. You can import (some) text files into Excel. Or you can use the ODBC Text File DSN applet to do much the same thing. And if you want to read text files directly using ODBC the ODBC applet used to be essential.

Application Launcher

Having problems keeping user versions up to date?

If you are not using software such as Application Launcher probably the most commonly asked question by your Customer support is "Which version are you using?" And the answer is always the wrong one. How do you keep versions up to date? Here's one (reasonably) simple solution.

The program is designed to simplify your life as a System Administrator in an organisation when it comes to distributing new versions of your application (as a single executable) across multiple workstations.

It has proved very useful to us by (almost) automatically distributing application updates across many workstations. We hope it is as useful to you.

There are two versions:
Freeware/Demo which requires you to manually set up the application launch shortcut and paths on the individual's desktop. You must physically create the shortcut. Any modifications to paths or server destinations you must do by hand. It's not difficult, just tedious. And it has no settable options. It also cannot handle UNC mappings. Source paths must be mapped to a Drive letter.

The FULL Version creates shortcut files automatically, provides tools for updating paths, has several options for (not) warning about new versions and optionally creates a backup of the executable being replaced. It can also handle UNC paths (e.g. \\gwacc\c").
Future versions will include the ability to update multiple files from multiple sources, (and possibly remote option setting on user workstations from a central console). The version you initially download is time limited to 30 days. At the end of the 30 days it will revert to the Freeware/Demo version's functionality. However, if you purchase it, we will send you the code to remove the time limitation.

Registration costs US$19.99, you'll find it's well worth the money. Registered users will receive

  • Unlimited support via email
  • Personal early notification of updates and modifications
  • Free upgrades between minor versions.

ApplicationLauncher is NOT an Installation routine or installation builder. We assume that you will install the application as a separate exercise. However, if your application is a single executable then this program will act as an installer.

(03 July 2002) - A minor bug was found and fixed, related to application launch paths. The version number remains the same.

DeepScan

DeepScan

DeepScan allows you to search hundreds of zip archives within a matter seconds across one or more locations for files matching a particular specification, be it a partial name or extension. Of course wild-cards in the file names are handled as well (it would be pretty useless without them!).

This application grew out of a need to locate files matching certain specifications which were often located either by themselves on a disk, or bundled together within compressed zip archives. As developers, we have literally hundreds, if not thousands of zip archives containing code snippets, code libraries, tips and examples. So, what's so special about DeepScan? What makes it different from any other file search tool?

Glad you asked! Although file search tools such as the one that come bundled with Windows are often pretty powerful on their own, they suffer from some limitations.
Although they do the job sufficiently for most people, we've found that they're severely lacking when it comes to searching bundled or compressed archives for particular files.
Why would you want to do this in the first place?

Hard disks get bigger and bigger. But have you noticed that it doesn't matter how big they get, you still manage to fill them up? You'll have collections of documents, emails, images, applications, spreadsheets, games... the list goes on.

In a nutshell, DeepScan bundles together a series of file searching tools, with an easy to use interface that allows you to:

  • Quickly locate any file on your hard disk (a la` the standard Windows "Find Files or Folders...")
  • Quickly locate any file that has been bundled or compressed within any zip archive.
  • Right click on any folder or drive (including network shares) to search their contents
  • Drag and drop from the results lists to copy or extract files
  • Much, much more...

Registered users will receive

  • Unlimited support via email
  • Personal early notification of updates and modifications (and believe us, there'll be many),
  • Free upgrades between minor versions.

BitByBit (Freeware)

BitByBit

This application has one purpose - to translate the raw byte code of ANY file (and we mean ANY file) into the equivalent ASCII and HEX characters; and display them.

Have you ever been faced with a file which you know has a structure, but even if you opened it in a text or hex editor, it still doesn't make sense? Typically these are system and data files developed over years by in-house programmers. Or they may be client files which you have been asked to read and extract the data.

Inevitably you will need to climb into the actual data and see for yourself. That's what this program allows you to do. And since you can print the results you can also draw, write, or even doodle over the results without damaging the original.

All it requires is a file to examine and a text editor to display the results.

New functionality includes Explorer integration and a most recently used file list. We've also now added support for Unicode, different fonts for displaying output, exporting to Rich Text Format (RTF), codepages and processing of data copied onto the clipboard.

Installation is as simple as extracting the downloaded zip file to a convenient folder. To uninstall the application, simply delete the folder, that's all there is to it!

A help file is included to walk you through using the program.

ExploreAccess

This application was developed from a need to document what we'd written and designed in Microsoft Access. It is used to analyse an MS Access database and produce a list of statistics and details on the contents. This can then be exported to a text, XML or MS Excel spreadsheet file, which can be used as an aid to debugging, future development and documentation.

ExploreAccess was written for MS Access 200x. It will examine any earlier version of MS Access once that database has been converted to MS Access 2000 format or later (up to Access 2003).

A free version is also available, with some limitations.

Some of the information provided by the freeware version application is listed below:

  • Table names
  • Field Names, types, and sizes
  • Query names and the number of parameters
  • The "Control" queries behind Forms and Reports
  • Index Names and their types
  • Relationship names (and what is related to what)
  • Macro Names
  • Module Names and how many Functions and Sub Routines there are
  • Form names
  • Report names
  • Database statistics - records

The shareware version also provides the following information and capabilities:

  • Provides the SQL Statement for each selected Query and / or View
  • Provides a Data Definition Statement for each selected Table, Index and/or Relationship
  • Displays the contents of selected modules
  • Lists the code for selected Macros - when converted to Modules
  • Lists the Controls on selected Forms, together with their Properties and (if available) their values
  • Lists the Controls on selected Reports, together with their Properties and (if available) their values.
  • Lists and allows the translation/exports of any Data Access Pages.
  • Export options include normal text format, XML and into an MS Excel workbook
  • More information (Compressed HTML Help File, ~360kb)

Both versions can send the output to a simple ASCII text file. The output is in fixed column format, which makes further analysis much simpler.

The new version includes some more bug fixes, some program flow enhancements, improved data access pages and macros support and a CSV export option.

If you purchase the full version, we will email you the URL for dowloading it and the password to decrypt/extract the files.

So, pick a database, (any MS Access database) and have a go!

GDataPipe

This useful little application's main purpose is to function as a basic Internet proxy server. If you've ever needed to connect one port to another, without installing bloated proxy programs first, then this is the package for you!

The concept behind it is simple. If you have several PCs on a network (LAN) which is connected to the Internet, in most cases that connection would be made through one PC, which acts as a go-between. All the PCs then need to communicate with the rest of the Internet via this one PC.

Without getting too technical, because of the way the networks have to be set up, the Internet and the LAN are effectively invisible to each other. In order for the "hidden" PCs to be able to "see" the Internet, we need some sort of go-between, or "proxy server" to handle the requests or connections. That's what GDataPipe does.

This application is designed to be simple and straightforward. It provides basic port mapping facilities. If you want souped up web browsing, ftp or streaming audio, then this application is probably not for you.

What can you do with it?

  • Connect to chat rooms and use IRC
  • Check your e-mail directly, without using a mail server elsewhere on the LAN
  • Send your e-mail directly, without using a mail server elsewhere on the LAN
  • Read and respond to newsgroups
  • Map any port on one PC to any other port on any other remote PC (for example telnet)
  • Route TCP/IP data and connections from one network to another via the proxy/gateway PC
  • Protect your anonymity by stringing several of these together across several networks
  • It can be run silently, or in the system tray. By silent we mean in the background with no icons visible (although it can still be viewed in the task list, to shut it down).
  • Future versions will be able to run completely 'silently', and not be visible at all. Imagine the possibilities :)

Installation

  • Installation is extremely simple. Simply unzip the program into a convenient directory, run the setup.exe, and you're away!
  • Administration is simple and intuitive, all information is stored in an .ini file, so no mucking about in the registry.
  • Uninstallation is done the usual way, through Control Panel.

Due to popular demand, it also includes a Windows NT/2000 Service version. This update includes a new HTTP/HTTPS (SSL) web and secure browsing proxy. Use this for regular web browsing as well as secure access to online resources such as banking.

This application is shareware, and will run for 30 days, whereupon you will be required to register to be able to continue running it. It is also limited in functionality, allowing only the first 3 port mapping profiles to be active.

Registration will give you

  • Unlimited port access
  • Access to support via email
  • Free upgrades for 12 months
  • New versions of the application will be available to you at significantly lower price after the period of one year (during which you get all new versions for free).
