Extract GIF embedded in PNG

Class: script/other
File size: 2037 bytes
The smart guys at Microsoft think to be cool if they embed in a private PNG chunk a whole GIF, since the latter supports animation, the further does not (in fact it exists the MNG, but Microsoft's guys seem to ignore this). So it could happen that animated images appear static on non-Microsoft systems that ignore the special Microsoft PNG chunk. This tool wants you to know that if it happens, it is because of the stupidity of Microsoft; if it does not happen, it is because people everywhere tries to put patches to cope with the monopolist giant.

Class: script/other
File size: 8678 bytes
Two scripts to cope with the senseless Microsoft LNK files. One tries to analyse a specified LNK, the other one can be used to build a fake LNK file, starting from a text description of what should be inside. Winedump can show infos about LNKs, but the creator counterpart indeed generates a freedesktop desktop file. An italian article I wrote explores this strange files and suggests that they can be replaced by a text file in the freedesktop's style.
