New version of YUBNUB command line tool released (version 1.1)

I've release a new version of the YUBNUB command line tool for Windows. This new version adds the following new features:

• The --plain option will now "word wrap" (at column 80)
• A new option "--raw" will output the verbatim HTML to the console

For a complete description of the YUBNUB command line tool for Windows, read the blog entry I posted when I originally released the tool here.

You can download the latest version of the program and the source code from here.
Additionally, you can download the original 1.0 version from here.

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+
You can download the source code from here - isadmin_src.zip 44 KB
You can download the precompiled executable from here - isadmin.zip 38 KB

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
