+++PC MAGAZINE UTILITIES+++

PCMag.com has a new policy for their utilities:

"The PC Magazine Utility Library is now available
by subscription only. For just $19.97 (or $14.97
if you're a current subscriber to PC Magazine's
print or digital edition), subscribers get full
access for 12 months, including: great new files
and updates throughout the year -- usually one per
month -- access to all 130+ useful, smart
utilities in the Library, and technical support."

Thus, the following have been removed from TinyApps:

they are not "open source", nor can the files be
distributed without permission.
