General Software Discussion / Re: LAST Freeware versions of good programs
« on: September 09, 2005, 01:22 PM »
Some caveats on a couple of softwares I have got from those places...

jv16 powertools is great, but don't EVER update if you wish to keep freeware status.
Popcorn full version works great for single client, here's latest announcement from the website:
The Popcorn e-mail client will not be sold or further developed by Ultrafunk, but it might live on in another form.
If you'd like to be notified when an announcement is made about Popcorns future, please send us an e-mail. 

The latest freeware demo release (1.74) of the Popcorn e-mail client can be downloaded here: Tucows.com.

Anybody heard of this idea (copy\pasted from a maillist)

The way most bounty setups work is that you post a bounty and specify what
work you want done. Others wanting the same work done will add to the bounty
until someone acomplishes it.
and take a looka here...

Bountyware? Hmmm...

General Review Discussion / Re: Free PDF tools review?
« on: August 26, 2005, 06:27 PM »
Not much of a review, but I have tried quite a few of these things, and this (IMHO) is the cream of the crop. Should I post more in 'mini-reviews by members'?

PDF995 is VERY easy to use and the trial version is only limited by popups that ask you if you are tired of the popups yet (and so pay $9.95) This is what I recommend for my CAD customers who can't afford Adobe. No complaints yet.

PDFCreator is what I use. Nice and techy, like I like it. Choose from GPL Ghostscript or AFPL Ghostscript for the encoding. Also does .ps .tif .png .jpg .eps .bmp .pcx. Free

PdfBlender I use for... DUH! merging multiple PDF's. Next version promises pdf splitting. Minimal, clutter-free but intuitive interface. Free

That's my two cents and in my honest opinion, a pretty darn shiny two cents.

In the meantime... to automagically print the output; make a .bat file with this code:
[Select]
@echo off
tree /F /A %1 > "%temp%\dirlist"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\dirlist"
del "%temp%\dirlist"
exit

call it "Dirlist.bat" or something, and save it to your c:\ dir then make a .reg file:
[Select]
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Dirlist\command]
@="C:\\dirlist.bat %1\\"
(you could also replace "C:\" with a path to wherever you really want to put the .bat file, and remember to double the slashes...)
and right-click Merge.

Now, right-click on any directory and select "Dirlist"
 :up:

Context Menu Commander?!? Oooh, I can't wait!... (no more digging in the registry, whew!)

i hear really good things about 7zip but it's definitely a feature i personally consider one of the most important.

*ahem*

4.26 beta FINALLY supports right-click drag-n-drop.

c'mon give it a shot...
