Another great program!
The "minimize to icon" feature alone makes using this application worthwhile!

Obviously the author has a lot to do.
1. have sort options for the items in Favorites.
2. allow short-cuts to menu item of plugins

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.

Since it was released under the GPL, hope lingers still...

All links are dead. Webarchive didn't grab the 150kb zip from http://www.lonewolf.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/hdi.zip
Maybe somebody could share it?

As of Sept 11, 2019 .... When clicking the download link: "File not found".
The developer's website does not respond to download requests.
The software is not listed on Softpedia.

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.

Actually I discovered on one of by backups that I downloaded the file a couple of years ago.
I also found the file at: http://s1.download.net.pl/1755912-PiX.zip

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 v2.20

  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

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.

Euler German on 2009-11-05 17:59

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.

N.B. the progress bar DOES freeze on large files splitting and merging.

Yuhler on 2010-07-27 15:30

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.
And I didn't stop any of my regular running tasks. Awesome for a 34KB tool!

Synopsis is misleading -
You cannot actually view i.e. Watch the mp4 video, with this useful utility.
