In hopes to get these utilities in the public (and search engine) limelight, I am posting the content of the Utilities.doc file of the CMS400.Net program folder. If you are not familiar with these (as I myself haven't even taken advantage of all of them yet), I would urge that you at least read over this so you are familiar with them and what they do.
Enjoy!
