While offering some advice, I got a little caught up in the research I was doing, so here’s a list of the resources I found for picking apart 16-bit x86 applications.

This is a project dedicated to restoring the update functionality for Windows 95 up to Windows XP, with Automatic Updates as well. We actively work on the project and make improvements over time, which can be found in the news section at the bottom of this page.

In August of 2011, Microsoft shut down the Windows Update servers for Windows 95/NT4/98/Me/2000 (RTM, SP1 & SP2). This prevented legacy systems from getting updates and other software from Microsoft. Windows Update Restored has brought back those old websites, to give you the update experience of how it was back then!

The original Windows Update websites provided users with security (critical) updates, optional software updates, driver updates, and other types of software for your operating system. Windows Update Restored has revived all of these features, as well as the Automatic Updates feature and the Critical Update Notification Tool (Windows 98 to Windows XP). Want to learn more about what is available on Windows Update Restored? Read the Frequently Asked Questions.

Une des œuvres matrice de la littérature dite de fantasy du XX siècle. Ce roman monstre que Tolkien lui-même qualifiait de « conte de fées [...] pour des adultes », est désormais considéré comme un des classiques de la culture de notre siècle.

C’est un dangereux héritage que Bilbo Bessac cède à son neveu avant de disparaître : l’anneau de pouvoir forgé par Sauron et dérobé jadis à Gollum. Le mage noir n’aspire qu’à retrouver son arme et sa puissance, et déjà ses cavaliers font route vers le Comté… Pour leur échapper et détruire la menace que représente cet anneau, le jeune Hobbit, Frodo, et ses compagnons commencent la périlleuse traversée de la Terre du Milieu, dans l’espoir d’atteindre la Faille du Destin, au coeur du Mordor.
Chef-d’oeuvre de la fantasy, découverte d’un monde imaginaire, de sa géographie, de son histoire et de ses langues, mais aussi réfl exion sur le pouvoir et la mort, Le Seigneur des Anneaux est sans équivalent par sa puissance d’évocation, son souffle et son ampleur.

Cette nouvelle traduction prend en compte la dernière version du texte anglais, les indications laissées par Tolkien à l’intention des traducteurs et les découvertes permises par les publications posthumes proposées par Christopher Tolkien.

Une interprétation magistrale de Thierry Janssen, qui révèle toute la dimension orale
du texte et nous fait voyager dans le plus vaste et merveilleux univers de littérature fantastique jamais créé.

FFBitrateViewer is a FFProbe GUI that purpose is to visualize frames` bitrate extracted by FFProbe. It is inspired by Bitrate Viewer (link to Web Archive as the program's web-site and forum are long dead). FFBitrateViewer allows you to select multiple files without dealing with command line and get “per frame” or “per second” info for all of them in one go.

Plots a graph showing the variation of the bitrate as well as up to 75 I-Frames throughout your video. The average bitrate is shown on the legend. In addition to this, the minimum, maximum and standard deviation is shown above the graph. See the example below:
