  1. Review - Comandiux

    1.7.26.210 (Oct 26, 2007)

    If you're serious about writing powerful batch files, commandiux is a must-have utility. My favorite function is the on-screen display, OSD - you can specify plain text and RTF text, which means you can overlay winword-like, colorful text on your screen! I'm not aware of any other free utility that can do that. I also use it to control my monitor, screensaver and volume level. I start batch files invisibly, without seeing that ugly black DOS-box window. Commandiux can control windows, manage processes, list services and devices, and many more advanced functions. It's too much to describe here - you've got to try it. No installation needed, just run the tiny 100K exe, that's all. On my wish list: the ability to dump info to a text file instead of to its own window.
    Pros: small, powerful, unique functions that are hard to find elsewhere, no installation needed.
    Cons: needs more documentation with examples.
