Point at a window.
Read a CD. Pause a process.

A window inspector, code generator and extensible developer tool—not just a cursor readout.

Its source follows the cursor to a live window handle, reads class names and captions, walks parent and child relationships, and generates FindWindow-style VB code. The options surface offers operations such as clicking or setting text; another path can apply selected operations through the RunCode companion.

Preserved .eas templates feed code-generation add-ins, while RunCode dynamically invokes code through a DLL interface. That is real extensibility, but not proof of a completely generic arbitrary-DLL plug-in system. Process, memory and advert subsystems make the application much broader than its name.

A genuine, much-expanded sequel with an intact 135-member manifest and more than 51,000 physical source lines. It combined a Yahoo booter with a sprawling toolbox.

The historical account is candid about the harmful core and equally precise about the engineering growth, contemporary credits and public distribution.

A direct Yahoo Chat client built around YCHT, with rooms, private messages, formatted transcripts, sounds, smileys, inline images and anti-spam. Its preserved source shows an incomplete YMSG transition, not a complete YMSG protocol client.

Jay remembers a later stable version and dedicated microsite; the complete later source boundary remains unresolved.

Elite MP3 was not an encoder. Its implementation uses Windows MCI for playback, adds playlists, seeking and volume, parses ID3v2 metadata and drives a custom spectrum visualiser. LAME belongs to Elite Ripper, not this player.

Elite Ripper connected a CD table of contents to selected-track extraction, WAV output or LAME MP3 encoding, progress, naming and ID3 metadata. External libraries did the low-level CD and encoding work; Jay's application orchestrated the whole hardware-to-file pipeline.

“It ripped CDs, and I was very proud of it” is Jay's present-day recollection; no drive or encoder was exercised during preservation.

The code establishes an intended download-manager surface with queued items, status and progress. Jay remembers working pause and resume—a capability that mattered when dial-up transfers were slow and interruptions were expensive.

The bounded source leaves the Resume toolbar branch as a debug stub and does not establish a complete HTTP range-resume engine. The public story keeps both facts.

The source recursively traverses folders, searches filenames and file contents, filters by metadata, inspects ZIP entries and caches Windows file-type information. A separate indexer project also survives.

An August 2005 forum exchange records an outside tester still using an earlier version. The file database separately lists XP Search v1.0.0 as “Windows search replacement,” added 13 September 2005, with a displayed count of 1,208 and a 7/10 rating. The counter is not treated as unique users or independently verified completed downloads.

View the surviving c0ld.net category record. The preservation pass did not follow its software-download action.

Two approaches deliberately allocate memory and then release it, while the interface reports system memory status. That confirms the pressure-and-release mechanism.

Jay remembers the intended effect as pushing inactive pages toward the page file so only needed pages returned to physical RAM; the source does not itself measure that effect. It is historical technique—not modern advice.

A Yahoo private-message flooding tool that exploited weaknesses in the old messaging protocol/client and could overwhelm another user's client.

The source confirms the aggressive purpose and timer-driven interface. The archive describes it as historical ethical evidence and withholds reusable packet, identity and rate details.

The source contains Yahoo session acquisition, webcam-frame receipt and AVI assembly, plus an alternate path intended to cross the normal invitation/privacy boundary.

No endpoint was contacted. Operational details stay closed; the historical fact is that CamViewer attempted a substantial, privacy-invasive networked viewer.

A contemporary readme says its purpose was to scan for unusual Yahoo email-style names that could no longer be created. The source adds a custom asynchronous socket layer, a socket pool, before-and-after name patterns, start/pause/save controls and profiles.

The preserved main interface is now shown with the project. Its obsolete endpoint is retained as historical UI evidence; no service was contacted to publish it.
