Some of the programs were updated to work with bigger capacity disks, and other were just fixed for some security issues I found.
The source code was cleaned and now compiles under Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (the previous version was written on Visual Studio 6.0)
These are some Unix-like (they are similar to some tools found in the Un*x world) utilities that I wrote. They run in an NT/2000/XP/2003 operating systems. These tools are command-line based.
I have received several requests for it, so the source code is included now. The tools are being distributed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) terms.
You can find all these tools packed on a single file: LCUtils.zip.
Note: The DOS and 16-bit Windows version are not longer supported, and I removed them from this site
Items with the NEW! logo have new features.

mt.exe 12-aug-2008 | This is a port from the Unix "mt" command. It gives you some control on a Tape device. It implements commands to rewind the tape, set the block size, forward or back a specified count of blocks, erase the tape, eject the tape, etc. It has only been tested with a DAT drive. |

| tapecopy.exe 12-aug-2008 | Makes a raw copy of a tape device. It support writing/reading data from/to standard input/output like many Unix tools. It can be used with the GNU tar tools to write or read tar tapes from Unix boxes in a NT box. Now completly in english! (The previous version was in spanish, but as many users of these tools are international, I decided to use english). |
