flamerz:
my 2 choices are winautomation and phraseexpress.

before i used breevy.. and i was quite happy with it.

just did the switch to PE because a BDJ offer (and still expensive).

winautomation is.. simply great. stable and very kind support team. (but wait a little, the next version is going out from kitchen now)

tranglos:
I do not have an addition to the list but will highjack the topic a moment to offer a  :Thmbsup: if you decide to take this further.  And I would be interested in a better/easier expander if you decided to offer it as donationware or for a modest fee.  Especially if it is along the ease of use of Ethervane Echo.-bob99 (January 20, 2012, 12:25 PM)

Thanks, Bob! Anything I write is and will be free (at least until I lose my day job.)

I did entertain the idea of writing shareware for a living once, which could certainly be more fun than my usual fare, but I'm not a business person. Over the years I've received offers to "monetize" (ugh!) KeyNote, PhoneDeck and Radio. These offers were met with my hollow laughter :)

Thanks, that's good to know. It's the most expensive of the bunch, but looks very neat, and the developers certainly appear to have experience writing this kind of software.

cranioscopical:
Any strong points, unique features? Can you say what it cost?-tranglos (January 20, 2012, 12:32 PM)

Automate: I think it has more depth than most (or did when I last used it), especially for network-y/enterprise stuff.
Typically >$1k


I used it in one of my companies some years back but let it lapse when I moved to some custom software.
Last year I was into something where I thought it might help and, IIRC, I could have had a fairly limited version for somewhat over $600.


There's also Macro Scheduler $55 to $595 depending on needs.
