Icon Color Level from Impact Software. Problems with icon color clashes? This may help! This simple little utility will modify an internal setting in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 to allow for full icon color usage when your screen is setup to display High or True color. In other words, this little tool wacks Windows upside the head and says "I've got all the colors you need so you just make those icons use 'em, ya hear?" You only have to run it once. Note that Windows 9x/ME/2000 already has this facility built-in but you do have to enable it. Go to
the Control Panel and open the Display applet. Select the Effects tab and make sure the check
box labeled "show icons using all possible colors" is checked.

Sailor Moon Multimedia Player v8.6.1 by Igor Bass. And you thought Sailor Moon only fought bad guys! This is a full-featured program that can play a number of audio and video formats and it features some nice artwork from Sailor Moon! This little number can play MIDI music, WAVE, AU, AIF, and Real Audio sound files (.RA, .RAM, .RM). For video, Sailor Moon can play MPEG, AVI (Microsoft's Video for Windows), and MOV (Quicktime). It can also play your favorite CDs! And, what's more, not only can it tell the time, but it can act as a simple alarm clook to boot! It even supports drag-and-drop play! v8.6.1 adds a number of new features to make it easier to use.
This program requires Real Player to be installed on your system! If you don't already
have Real Player, get it now from RealNetworks!
v8.6.1 requires the Microsoft Visual Basic v5.0 runtime package. If you have the previous
version of the Sailor Moon Multimedia Player then you already have this package. Otherwise,
you can get the package here.

WinG v1.0 from Microsoft. This is the Windows Graphics Package for Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11. It adds system functions for "high-speed" graphics under Windows. Windows 95/98 has these functions built-in but some older programs insist on trying to load the DLL's associated with WinG which Windows 9x does not have. You can still install WinG on Windows 9x as it won't interfere with anything. How To Install: put this Self-extracting archive into a temporary folder and run it
to extract the files. Then run SETUP.EXE to install WinG.

Otaku World's own WINNLS.DLL v1.1 by Stephen P. Lepisto This is a replacement dll for WINNLS.DLL and IMM.DLL which appear only on Asian versions of
Windows 95/98 (these DLLs handle the input of asian alphabets). This replacement version will
satisfy the requirements of some screen savers and toys that need WINNLS.DLL and IMM.DLL to run.
This version of WINNLS.DLL can be dropped into your system folder under Windows 9x and NT.
This file is NOT needed under Windows 3.1 but is needed under Windows 3.11!
Note: Windows 98/2000 and XP will most likely not need this file as they already include
a version of winnls.dll. Win2000 and WinXP will not allow you to copy this into the system
folder anyway.
You will not need IMM.DLL with this WINNLS.DLL!
Note for Netscape users: if your browser saves this file with an extension
of .EXE, please rename it to have a .DLL extension.

CNCS32.DLL v1.4.1.34 from Europress Software This is the Click & Create Graphic Library used by the Game Factory game-maker tool and other such programs.

Note for Netscape users: if your browser saves this file with an extension
of .EXE, please rename it to have a .DLL extension.
