This is a collection of files that I find are unique and not widely available. Of course, many of these files are useful in my projects, primarily my homebrew computing project. I also have a couple of files here for network administration from NetAdminTools.
Remember to save files to your local machine. With most web browsers you right click on the link and choose "save link as".

lmh16.exe (3.6 Meg) LMHOSTS Generator Software. Generates LMHOSTS file, specifically to solve wins problems with NT. Includes distribution batch file generator, and other troubleshooting/monitoring utilities. Someday I'll write this up in a different language like TCL/TK and perl or somesuch. VB is just so big. Download this and rename to lmh16.exe. It is a self extracting executable.

This editor is available for both DOS and UNIX systems, is very small,

through virtually any telnet session, works with FreeDOS, DOSEMU, and NT,
and has a cool Woody Guthrie kind of name.
