Buy the full-featured Internet Download Manager TODAY from Tonec Inc. for a special Christmas price of $24.95 (instead of $29.95).
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 5 times, resume and schedule downloads. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. Simple graphic user interface makes IDM user friendly and easy to use.Internet Download Manager has a smart download logic accelerator that features intelligent dynamic file segmentation and safe multipart downloading technology to accelerate your downloads. Unlike other download managers and accelerators Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process and reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve best acceleration performance.
Internet Download Manager supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and MPEG video content processing. IDM integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, MSN Explorer, AOL, Opera, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firebird, Avant Browser, MyIE2, and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. Internet Download Manager can dial your modem at the set time, download the files you want, then hang up or even shut down your computer when it's done.
Other features include multilingual support, zip preview, download categories, scheduler pro, sounds on different events, HTTPS support, queue processor, html help and tutorial, enhanced virus protection on download completion, progressive downloading with quotas (useful for connections that use some kind of fair access policy or FAP like Direcway, Direct PC, Hughes, etc.), built-in download accelerator, and many others.
Version 5.15 adds IDM download panel for web-players that can be used to download flash videos from sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, and Google Videos. It also features complete Vista support, YouTube grabber, redeveloped scheduler, and MMS protocol support. The new version also adds improved integration for IE and IE based browsers, redesigned and enhanced download engine, the unique advanced integration into all latest browsers, improved toolbar, and a wealth of other improvements and new features.
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.

- Possibility of several "levels" of similarity between files. For example: a) exactly the same, b) same name, different size, c) similar name, same size, same date, and so on-city_zen (December 04, 2008, 11:16 PM)
I'd like results to be returned "nested" like this:
1. File name
----------->Location One
----------->Location Two
Etc.
I'd also like to see some sort of colour banding utilized so that differentiating between files is easier.-Darwin (December 04, 2008, 04:59 PM)
I've wound up switching to Scansoft PDF Converter Pro.-Darwin (December 04, 2008, 02:16 PM)
any feature requests are welcome now.-mouser (December 05, 2008, 12:24 AM)
FWIW Serif PagePlus version 11 is advertised @ $29.99 at this link.-cranioscopical (December 04, 2008, 09:09 AM)
its in the value store, the link is above-Grorgy (December 04, 2008, 05:16 AM)
Not sure how easy it is to find their free and cheap site so here it is if you haven't got it,-Grorgy (December 03, 2008, 02:38 PM)
Looks like the free one won't do PDF but version 9 will which is under 10 dollars (or pounds) and version 10 is also very cheap compared to the new one.
I couldn't see any link to their older free offerings from the main Serif page... On the free Serif software page I see SE and version 9, but not version 10. Is that in limbo between low-cost 9 and PagePlus X3, waiting for an even newer version before it gets "remaindered?"does Nitro PDF also convert pdfs that are comprised of scanned images into searchable pdfs? Essentially, this would require the developer to ship Nitro PDF with OCR capabilities... I need a PDF solution for my XP machine-Darwin (November 25, 2008, 11:56 AM)
Able2Extract Professional 6.0 adds scanned (image) PDF conversion capabilities to the Able2Extract 6.0 feature set. For users working with documents that are paper based and need to be scanned or, have already been saved as image PDFs, Able2Extract Professional is the choice.
Not sure if the OP is still interested, but ABC Amber PDF Converter might be worth a look.-Antonimo (December 03, 2008, 02:02 AM)
But if you want an app that provides an easy-to-use GUI for building & saving sets of search-replace operations -- which you can then call from a command-line -- consider BK ReplaceEm.-skas (December 02, 2008, 07:58 AM)
So I went with SED. It's case-sensitive, but that was OK for what I wanted.I could make it an option easily enough.-mouser (December 01, 2008, 10:31 AM)
But the main thing is to know what it's doing.I have used this before and found it more than adequate.

rjbull: Eek, using 16bit dos executables under win32? Why haven't you searched for a replacement tool?-f0dder (December 01, 2008, 04:48 AM)
I can't really take credit for the functionality -- i'm using a 3rd party library -- but actually it does support delays.-mouser (November 28, 2008, 09:03 AM)
With those features, you might get people wanting to use it for passwords/logins. I presume that CHS's database isn't secure enough for that? Not sure I'd need it to be - too used to KeePass and Roboform now, not to mention Linkstash. But it should come in handy for filling in repetitive forms, especially for people who don't have Roboform, or use browsers Roboform doesn't support, like K-Meleon.I uploaded a CHS beta if you want to experiment:
Perhaps you'd been better off using ABBYY FineReader to OCR the documents into word format?-f0dder (November 25, 2008, 06:00 AM)
