This could've been the killer Windows interface tweaker, suplanting the likes of Sizer (http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17028) and Pitaschio (http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2487), if only development hadn't stopped in 2007. |

WebArchive.org last site snapshot is from 2018-11-07: see http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.codershole.com/. Unfortunately Pix's last release download (v1.3.13, 89kb, released 2005-09-10) was hidden behind a PHP script so it's not part of it. I also tried Baas direct link below with no success.

The referred site does not mention anything about its portability. Makes me wary of unexpected surprises if put on a thumb drive. Any assurance (please!) |
EVEREST Home Edition is a system information, system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for home PC users. It offers memory benchmarks, hardware monitoring, and low-level hardware information. The Home Edition will not run on machines connected to a domain. For those, you will need to buy the Professional Edition.
Note: EVEREST has gone totally commercial from 1 Dec 2005, so you will no longer be able to download the Home Edition from their website. The last free version is V2.20, which I have provided a local mirror for. Thanks for P J for alerting me to this.

it looks good but in trying to split a 4gb file it seemed to stall forever saying "calculating checksum". After 30 minutes of this I I used taskmanager to kill it... If it was still working it needs to show some kind of progress indicator... I went back to an old favorite (HJ Split) and things went smooth as ice.

About long.Knight comments: just split a 4,62MB .ISO file in 5 parts (auto-extract option) in 23 minutes. I used an old AMD Duron/1.01GHz, ASUS A7A266 MoBo, 384MB RAM, WinXP Pro SP3. Original file obtained from rejoined in 17 minutes, same machine.

S&M works fine on large files. Splitting a 19.70GB HDD image into 700MB chunks took 30'17" and 32'51" to rejoin, both with checksum, on an old AMD Athlon 64 3000+, ASUSTek K8V-XE MoBo, 2.0GB Single-Channel DDR @ 200MHz, and MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3. |
