I came across some documentation and patch files in my archive that might be of interest to folks using old Helix Software products (Hurricane, Netroom3, Multimedia Cloaking). I pulled these files off of the Helix FTP server over ten years ago, and I was unable to find any current mirrors for these files in the Wayback Machine or on any Internet sites. If you would like copies, PM me an address. File info is as follows:

Exactly. It includes a number of cloaked utilities: screen saver, disk cache, screen accelerator, virus protection, DPMI, RAM drive, cloaked system BIOS, and cloaked video BIOS. It also has improved versions of some of the programs and utilities in MS-DOS like a replacement for DOS STACKS and a number of special memory programs for loading/manipulating items in UMBs, Extended Memory and Expanded Memory. The DISCOVER utility provides memory analysis.
