Here are the tool's options:
USAGE: yubnub [options] [yubnub command line] OPTIONS: --help - help --browser - launch browser to run command (default). --plain - output results to console in plain text. |

Source code released for command line tool: ISADMIN
Here is a little command line tool I wrote called ISADMIN. The program runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/2003 and up. Just run this little program from the command line and it will tell you whether or not the logged in user has administrative rights. The utility has a silent mode which makes it a perfect tool for installers and batch files. In addition to the tool's output (which is not displayed in silent mode), you can determine whether or not the user has administrative rights based on the error level returned on program exit (errorlevel 0 means that the user has administrative rights). Also note that on Windows 95, 98, and ME, this program will always report that the user has administrative rights.
I've decided to release the source for this program. Feel free to use the program or its source code in any way you wish.
Requirements: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/2003+

Source code released for command line tool: CPUSPEED
Here is a little command line tool I wrote called CPUSPEED. The program runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/2003 and up. Just run this little program from the command line and it will report your computer's clock speed in megahertz. This basically tells you how fast your computer runs. If you think you own a 2.8 gigahertz computer, this program should report something like:
The clock speed is: 2789

Site updated with some old programs I wrote
I found some old programs I wrote a long time ago: CleanPrettyPark and DIZ2EXE. These days DIZ2EXE is probably a lot more interesting than CleanPrettyPark, which is a program that cleaned up some old computer virus called "Pretty Park". DIZ2EXE takes a small text file as an input and creates a self-sufficient program that will nicely display the text when run.
Here is where you can read about and download these programs:
Check out CleanPrettyPark here.
Check out DIZ2EXE here.

Source code released for shoot-em-up game: HEATTACK
A couple of years ago I started to write a program called HEATTACK. I found the source code the other day and I realized how far along I ended up in the effort. The game is completely playable, minus a few key features. Apparently I never added a way to die, so it seems that the player has unlimited lives. Also, I never added a scoring system, so you can blow things up to your heart's content and never earn a single point. With all that said, it's really quite a fun little game.
I've decided to release the source code GPL. Feel free to expand on the game and finish it off if you like. If you do make any changes, please send them to me so I can update the original package.
Requirements: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP+
You can download the source code from here
You can download the playable executable from here
