Grundle Software Betas

We will occasionally release beta versions of our products on this page for those who just INSIST on staying on the bleeding-edge of technology! All beta versions of our software have the same limitations as the release versions unless you are a registered user..


Pocket PC versions of our software (Updated Oct. 31, 2000)

These are the applications that have been ported over to the new Pocket PC platform. There is no setup program for these versions, so just pick your device's CPU type and download the program and copy it over to your device (we recommend copying it over to the \windows\start menu\programs folder for ease of testing).

DisplayColors Control Panel Applet v2.6 (build 1 BETA Released Oct. 31, 2000)

Build 1:

Initial port to the Pocket PC. This is a full featured BETA version that will expire after the end of the year.

Install Notes:

The file that you download is the actual control panel applet, not an installation file. In order to use it, you will need to copy it to the \Windows folder of your device.

Once you copy the file to the \Windows folder, you should be able to see the Display Colors icon when you choose Start - Settings and then click on the 'System' tab of the Control Panel. If you do not see the Display Colors icon after copying the file to the \Windows folder, do a 'soft' reset of your device and look again.

Grundle Explorer v3.1 (build 4 Released Oct. 28, 2000)

Build 4:

Released from BETA. You can now download the release version of RegEditCE from the RegEditCE product page.

Added complete support for the input panel. It should now automatically popup when you tap in any edit field.

Moved the Path edit control to the top of the window so that it's easier to use with the input panel.

Build 3:

Build 3 adds the following features to Grundle Explorer for the Pocket PCs:

Single-tap paradigm to match the new Pocket PC selection paradigm. Now single-tap to open folders, etc.

Tap-and-hold to display context menus. These menus allow you to cut/copy/paste, etc.

A new feature called "Select Mode" that simplifies selecting multiple files / folders. "Select Mode" works as a toggle. When it is turned on, each file you tap is selected or unselected based on its previous selection state. In other words, to select 3 files out of the 5 that are visible, turn "Select Mode" on by tapping the "Select Mode" icon, and then tap each of the files you want to select. Once they are selected, turn "Select Mode" off, then tap & hold on one of the selected files to display the context menu which allows you to then cut/copy/paste, etc.

Better integration with the input panel. Input panel should automatically raise / lower when appropriate.

RegEditCE v2.6 (build 6 Released October 27, 2000)

Build 6:

Released from BETA. You can now download the release version of RegEditCE from the RegEditCE product page.

Build 3:

Fixed a big problem with the menu & toolbar enabling. This was completely broken in the previous beta. The menu options and toolbar options should now be enabled / disabled at the appropriate time.

Fixed the toolbar so that it no longer steps on top of the input panel button.

Added better support for the input panel. The input panel now is displayed automatically when entering dialogs that require input.

FastTask Plus v1.1 (build 4 BETA Released Oct. 26, 2000)

Build 4:

Removed some of the processes that don't make sense from the task list (MS_SIPBUTTON, etc). I was also having problems getting build 3 to run on the ARM devices, but I've tested build 4 on a Compaq iPAQ device and it seems to work great. Please try this new version out, especially the ARM & MIPS versions as those devices are not tested as well as the SH3 device currently.

Build 3:

As many of you know, Microsoft was nice enough to completely break the way that Tray Applications work on the Pocket PC devices. They changed the Pocket PCs to only display the Tray Applications when you are sitting at the Today screen. This makes them pretty much useless.

The good news is that I have figured out how to force the FastTask Plus icon into the upper task bar on the Pocket PCs! This means that you can now switch tasks, close tasks, etc. from any screen on the Pocket PC devices and you no longer have to switch to the Today screen to do it!
