Of course the sysinternals prorgamme has things such as time, filters, remote debugging that sometimes comes in handy. I also use this for Matlab programming where I can check out my (very simple) socket pramming when communicating between Matlab and C++ programmes. In any event, all the tools as sysinternals.com are top quality and very useful - and they're free. The only programme of theirs I haven't tested is their Blue Screen of Death Screensaver ;-) > everything there. Very simple, and you can use iostream style > formatting.

Like the rest of the things you're providing us with I will be looking very much forward to this.
