Anyone know if there's any history between Sparta and Persia?-Deozaan (December 20, 2008, 04:31 AM)
Not half - never heard of Thermopylae?-rjbull (January 05, 2009, 09:57 AM)
I'm guessing that's what the movie 300 was about?Aware that they were being outflanked, Leonidas dismissed the bulk of the Greek army, remaining to guard the rear with 300 Spartans, 700 Thespian, 400 Thebans and perhaps a few hundred others.(emphasis added)-Deozaan (January 06, 2009, 09:59 PM)

Have you tried a virtual debit/credit card such as paypal's?-Dormouse (December 23, 2008, 06:37 AM)
search for duplicates of those files in folder A where they are found ion B,C, or D .... BUT not between the latter (I.E. between B and C).
This allows for quick checks without having to re-do the entire thing.-hpearce (December 23, 2008, 05:51 AM)
Last week I recall Amazon.com and Buy.com advertising PDF Converter Professional 5 for about $62 shipped. Newegg has a downloadable version for $64.99.-cchian (December 11, 2008, 02:24 PM)
Unfortunately Newegg.com does not ship internationally at this time; we only deliver within the United States and to Puerto Rico. Perhaps in the future we will open our virtual shopping cart to other parts of the world but, at this time, we do not have the processes or man power to do so. We apologize greatly for the inconvenience this has caused.
Since we do not ship internationally, we also do not accept international credit/debit cards. We only accept credit/ debit cards that are issued in the U.S., from a U.S. Bank.
PS to rjbull - should have noted that you can often pick up boxed versions of Nuance apps in places like Staples cheaper than the on-line discounts.-Darwin (December 11, 2008, 12:27 PM)
what's worse about Nuance (unless they've changed their tune of late) is that they won't let you run a trial of their software-Darwin (December 08, 2008, 08:12 AM)
The software is licensed per user so as long as it's no concurrent use you could use it at home and at work as long as it was licensed to the company.
Thanks, folks! 
Don't you hate it when

Or when you've found a block of text you need but it's filled with HTML markup that you don't want.
Or when you realize you've misspelled your new boss's name 12 times in the email you're about to send.

PrintFile is a freeware MS Windows utility program that will enable you to print files fast and easily. The program recognizes plain text, PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and binary formats. Using this program can save you a lot of paper and thereby also saving valuable natural resources.
Selection of which files to print can be made by the normal Windows file selection dialog, or by Drag and Drop operations with one or several files. The latter facilitates batch printing of files.
PrintFile can also act as a print spooler, watching a specified directory for files. Whenever a file appears in that directory it will automatically be printed.
When printing text files PrintFile makes a configurable page layout of the text contents. Several logical pages can be placed on one page of physical paper (referred to as n-up printing). There are also several other configurable options controlling the layout. Text files can be printed on any printer that has a Windows printer driver. Text copied to the clipboard can also be printed in the same manner as text files. PrintFile can also do user configurable Pretty Printing of text files. Keywords and comments can be highlighted using different font styles and colors. This function is primarily intended for source code files.
Non text files are sent files directly to a Windows printer. In this case the program can be seen as a Windows replacement for the DOS command "copy/b filename LPTx" . However, unlike the DOS command, PrintFile works well with network printers that do not have a connection to any LPTx. Although this function is mainly intended for printing PostScript files, it could be used just as well for any file created by the "Print to File" option available for most Windows printer drivers. Such a print file can for instance be created on a PC without a printer and then be moved to another PC that has a printer, and there be sent to the printer using PrintFile.
The text file printing function is also something that can be used to enable old DOS program to print to USB printers that only works with a Windows printer driver.
In both cases I bought the software only to be offered large discounts at a later date, so I simply returned them and bought them again-Darwin (December 08, 2008, 10:52 AM)
UPDATE: AFAICT there is no replace feature. However, you can both Find and Search throughout a document - Find functions more or less like Find in Word while Search reports back with a list of all occurences of the search term:
by a dishonest discount advert.Well... what's worse about Nuance (unless they've changed their tune of late) is that they won't let you run a trial of their software - you MUST buy it.-Darwin (December 08, 2008, 08:12 AM)
The upside is that they've got a generous 90 day no questions asked return policy, which I have used without fanfare or drama twice.
BTW, they should have most of their stuff on sale over the next two months - you might want to hold off in anticipation of that...
I like DoubleKiller, but setting it up is a bit of a PITA! I use it *just* infrequently enough to forget its idiosyncracies and have to fiddle around with it for a while before I can get it to return the result in which I am interested.-Darwin (December 05, 2008, 07:03 PM)

XY 7.90 released!
XYplorer 7.90 has been released on 08-Dec-2008. Here's a quick introduction to the main new features:
1) Here's a killer feature for you: Mini Tree!
It's an extremely simple idea, but it might change your way of browsing the file system forever: The Mini Tree displays only the paths you have actually used.
This makes browsing blindingly fast (it's instantaneous even with deeply nested subfolders), it makes the tree ridiculously small, and it makes you feel like being back in control (because you look at just the folders you are actually using, instead of being avalanched by all the folders that have accumulated on your drives over the years).
2) Quick Searches now support multiple locations. For example, you may paste a line like this into the Address Bar...E:\XY\;C:\Temp\;D:\Backup\?*.gif... and E:\XY\, C:\Temp\, and D:\Backup\ are searched for GIF files.
Quick Searches are remembered in tabs and across sessions, you can save them as Favorites or assign Keyboard Shortcuts to them.
