BAK2BAK.REC (10,227 Bytes)
A set of macros to aid double sided printing. They have been tested using Works for Windows v3.0 and an HP DeskJet 510, but should work in many other applications and printers. Full documentation is given in the Description box of the Macro Properties Dialogue of the first macro in the file.
NOTEPAD.REC (1,459 Bytes)
This file contains a set of macros prepared by Guy Sturges.  They allow you to load into Notepad, and optionally print, any suitable file which is highlighted in File Manager.  (At last, you can edit your .BAT files with ease!)  Further details are available here.
WORKS.REC (3,582 Bytes)
This file contains a set of macros prepared by Andrzej Michalski.  They produce a range of special characters, such as copyright, trademark, bullets, etc., not available direct from the keyboard.  They demonstrate how one can overcome the "Alt Bug" by adding a space and backspace pair of keystrokes after recording an "ALT-numeric keypad" combination.  See the Tips and Troubleshooting Page for further information.

RECORDER Utilities

RECEDIT.ZIP (151,418 bytes)
PC MAGAZINE's freeware utility, which can be used to edit .REC files. Read the detailed description at the PC Magazine site.
NOTE:  This program requires the files VBRUN300.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX.  The first is generally available on many web sites.  The second is available in the full issue archive v14n18.zip (165Kb).
BATSH228.ZIP (61,461 bytes)
Strictly, this is not a Recorder utility.  It is a utility which allows you to run WINDOWS commands from a text file, line by line, like BATCH (.BAT) files in DOS.  The reason for including it here is that it allows many of the impossible things people often want to do with RECORDER, but can't!
