	Process Tamer  License: Freeware
	There are many times when a process will hog your cpu, such as when converting audio/video files, or working with compressed archives. Because these processes completely consume the cpu, your system becomes sluggish to respond and using the computer for other tasks becomes impossible while these processes are running.Process Tamer solves this problem by identifying such these degenerate conditions and temporarily reducing the priority of the offending processes in order to allow your system to respond to other requests. Stop being a victim to an overloaded cpu - let Process Tamer keep your system responsive no matter what you're doing. You'll see a baloon tooltip in your system tray whenever Process Tamer adjusts or restores the priority of an application, so you'll always know what it's doing and why. There are times when you probably won't want Process Tamer to change process priorities, such as when playing games or if you are burning a cd/dvd on a slow computer; just double click its icon to toggle it on and off.

	UUMerge Freeware Edition  License: Freeware
	uuMerge is a command line utility that can be used either to combine multiple text files into a single text file with a separator line between the contents of each file; or alternatively to process a 'merged' file ( previously created by uuMerge or other processes ) and recreate the multiple files. Files are separated internally with special delimiter line prefixed by "./ ADD NAME=". This odd choice of delimiters allows the file to be processed by the IBM mainframe utility IEBUPDTE. Alternatively, you can use the '-nice' option to create a '>>>>>>>>>> ' delimiter line instead so it looks nicer for printing. You could also use any text editor to do a global replace of the delimiter text to any string you wish. However you will not be able to use uuMerge to extract files at a later point. Usage: 1. Merge files in a directory to a single file. uumerge -merge indir outfile where indir is the source directory (with optional file masking) and outfile is the target output file. 2. Restore files. uumerge -extract infile outdir where infile is a input file previously created by uuMerge and outdir is the directory for the target destination Notes: Use on text files only - results are unpredictable otherwise.
