Free 1.44mb software for windows

Unconditional format of floppy disk. Unconditionally formats a standard 1.44MB floppy disk in drive A:. Windows XP has a problem formatting demagnetized or corrupt diskettes: its format function only checks for diskette to be readable, and does not perform actual formatting if it is not.
Format144 is a simple command-line tool which is able to format disktettes to the most common standard. Source code is realeased under the GNU GPL for study and improvement.

Probably the easiest to use and most powerful Note management tool available, the only thing to configure is your password, and thats if you choose to use this facility! It uses a tree structure to organise the notes, you can search through all notes for a particular word, full or partial. Other Features: Launch you browser or email software directly from an address in a note, convert a note into an editable list, select dates from a drop down calendar, encrypt/decrypt a note, Search and Replace text in a note, Wordwrap, highlight important words in colour auto saves its data, remembers its size and position and much more. Oh and by the way its small enough to run from a 1.44mb diskette, with a very sizeable database!!

ArjVol is a Windows compatible front end shell for the popular DOS ARJ archiver. ArjVol will allow you to easily and quickly create or re-join multiple ARJ volumes using the ARJ archiver
ArjVol is a Windows compatible front end shell for the popular DOS ARJ archiver.
Its purpose is to allow you to join together bigger files that have been split into multiple ARJ volumes, and to create multiple ARJ volumes out of your own large files.
In this day and age where many people and companies are making software larger and larger its hard to back up your programs unless you have a tape back up system, recordable cd-rom, or large media floppies that hold more than the standard 1.44Mb floppy will hold.
If you are still using the 1.44 floppy as your main source of backing up files and programs then this utility will be useful for you. Simply put it will allow you to split up a 10 Mb file into 10 files that will each fit onto a floppy disk.

Ever wondered why you cant put NTFS on a floppy disk? Windows NT has never supported NTFS floppy disks, because Microsoft claims that floppy disks are too small for NTFS data structures. NTFSFlp is an application that will both format and enable NTFS support on floppy disks and proves this to be wrong. Now you can see for yourself why NTFS on floppies, while possible, is not a great idea.
Note: NTFSFlp should be run before you access your floppy drive for the first time after a reboot of your machine. If you mount a FAT drive and then run NTFSFlp, the FAT file system driver will crash the machine when the characteristics of the floppy drive change out from under it (see How It Works, below, for more information).
The first thing you will want to do is to format an NTFS floppy. Insert a floppy into your a: drive and enter "ntfsflp /f". Once the format is complete you will be able to access and write to the NTFS floppy in the same way as FAT floppies. You will notice is that there is significantly more disk activity, even when simple operations are performed, on the NTFS floppy than would occur on a FAT floppy. In addition, disk activity will continue for some time after you perform a modification of the data on the floppy. For this reason, I have included ntsync in this package, so that you can flush data onto an NTFS floppy before removing it.
NTFS floppy support must be enabled with NTFSFlp before you can access an NTFS floppy disk. Support is automatically enabled when you format an NTFS floppy, but can also be enabled by running NTFSFlp and not specifying any command-line arguments. You would need to do this if you created an NTFS floppy disk, rebooted the system and wished to access the floppy again.
NTFSFlp is a demonstration of NTFS floppy-disk support. It is not envisioned that anyone would want automatic NTFS floppy-disk support every time you run NT, so NTFSFlp must be used to manually enable support.
Windows NT actually goes to some lengths to prevent a user from creating an NTFS floppy disk. The first line of prevention is in the format utility. If a user specifies an NTFS format, format checks to make sure that the media is not a floppy. Then it checks to see if the medium is large enough to fit "minimum" NTFS on-disk data structures. Finally, it attempts to make an NTFS log file that is 2MB in size - an operation that will obviously fail on a 1.44MB floppy.
If you manage to get past these hurdles and get NTFS on a floppy, the NTFS driver itself will fail to mount floppy disks. Further, NTFS requires that the device driver for the media it is mounting implement the IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO device I/O control call, something that floppy disk drivers are not required to do (and generally dont).
Using SoftICE for Windows NT I was able to trick format into creating an NTFS floppy disk with a log file that is only 256KB in size. This is large enough for NTFS to be able to function, and leaves 1MB of space on the floppy after NTFS structures have been created. To format an NTFS floppy, NTFSFlp copies the image of the NTFS floppy I created onto other floppy disks.
To trick NTFS into mounting an NTFS floppy, NTFSFlp loads a device driver, flpflt.sys, that changes the characteristics of the floppy disk device so that it does not look like a floppy. Flpflt also intercepts Device I/O Control calls that are directed at the floppy and implements IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO. Note that flpflt.sys is not a filter driver - it reaches into the floppy0 device object and changes its characteristics, and replaces the IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL vector in the floppy drivers request handler table to point at its own. This technique is an example of another way to intercept and control requests that are sent to a device, and is in many senses actually more powerful than filtering in the traditional NTFilemon way.
NTFS floppy disks could be useful for storing compressed files on a floppy. In addition, NT 5.0 NTFS supports encryption, which would make it possible to have secure floppy disks.

File Spanning - Split and build back files The File Spanning is a power utility which allow spanning big files into small multiple files.
The utility provides also the building capability to re-create the original file from the multi-files.
It allows you to split a file into smaller multiple files. When splitting a file, you can select a file size of 500K, 1MB, 1.44MB, 3MB, or 5MB.

SplitZilla is an application that will help you split files. SplitZilla is an application that will help you split files.

- Splits files up to 2,147,483,647 bytes (2GB) in size.
- Three pre-defined size buttons for 2.88MB, 1.44MB and 720KB diskettes and an edit box for user defined split size up to 2,147,483,647.
- Makes optional batch file for rebuilding.
- Makes optional log file.
- Can use an output directory and/or sub directory.

TextShield is a free, compact word processor with a wealth of features. Besides those features available with most ordinary word processors, TextShield has many advanced (but easy-to-use) features. TextShield can compress files automatically using the popular ZIP compression, making them as much AS 95% smaller. TextShield saves files in the universal RTF format, or in plain text. TextShield is both a word processor and a plain text editor. For maximum interchangeability, TextShield has a build-in HTML converter and can save files as Microsoft Word, and other formats, using Microsoft converters. TextShield supports advanced formatting features, like hyperlinks, underlining styles, Rainbow Colors and even 3D Text. TextShield is compact and can easily fit a single 1.44Mb floppy disk (try installing Word on a floppy...). Finally all these features would be worthless without a good help system; So TextShield has a 6000 word help file explaining everything that could be difficult for the beginning user.
