Interesting, hadn't heard of VersionTracker before, looks like something they had back in the Windows 95/98 days called "Oil Change", unfortunately it didn't survive being taken over by McAfee. The Pro looks interesting except that it looks like they don't let you try it before buying a subscription, so I think I'll pass.

Member functions from this element class can be applied to the entire collection in parallel. This allows programmers to compose distributed data structures with parallel execution semantics. These distributed structures can be aligned and distributed over the memory hierarchy of the parallel machine much like HPF. pC++ also includes a mechanism for encapsulating SPMD style computation in a thread-based computing model.

Ah yes, I remember Oil Change. Good concept, but with new apps coming
out all the time I guess it's too hard to track them all.

Another app I loved from my 98 days was Universal Undo (I think it was
called?). Basically you could undo any accidental saves in apps, undelete
from an emptied Recycle Bin, and things like that. It was quite good, too.
Don't know why an XP version doesn't exist, as I'd definitely use it. I'm
guessing it works by hooking all file operations?

Try to decode this, it's in HEX:
50 43 2B 2B 32 6D 65 61 6E 73 32 70 6F 73 74 32 63 6F 75 6E 74 32 2B 2B

I take that back, they do have a trial but all it lets you do is run a scan of your software and drivers. Even worse, you can't get rid of the purchase nag and while that's displaying you can't do anything at all with the program other than just look at it. So their trial is not much more that a screen shot of how it will look on your system. I'll still pass....

Norton GoBack does that and works on XP too, Used to be a Roxio product, now owned by Symantec.
