No site does as good a job of helping you choose a freeware tool for a specific task than Gizmo's Freeware (otherwise known by us old-timers as Tech Support Alert).
The site is simply unrivaled in terms of recommendations for freeware, and if you ever find yourself asking what the best free windows utility is for a given task, it's *the* site to visit.
In each well-organized category, top alternatives are reviewed, rated, and ranked, and then discussed by all -- and reviews are frequently revisited and updated, which is a rarity.
In addition, Gizmo Richards himself has also long been a friend to freeware authors, helping to shine the light on new freeware tools, and a friend to us from the early days, helping to tell people about DonationCoder and our software -- and I am extremely honored to have had some of my tools recommended on the site.
I can't think of a better site to receive the first entry in our list of our Favorite Websites.

Coding Snack: My text file manipulation needsA DC member asks: Hallo! I am a writer and not a programmer, but am in search of easy to use tools to tackle simple tasks. They are almost always associated with text files & a tagged CSV English - German dictionary. For the tasks I have I would like to try and use AutoHotKey. I seem to have no luck with programming languages. The task I am trying to perform is: 1. Open a simple text file of sentences. 2. Open a CSV dictionary file 3. Read words in turn from the text file, find them each in the dictionary and 4. Copy the Parts-of-Speech for each from dictionary 5. Write the tags in brackets following each word in the text file. Is it possible to do this uising AutoHotKey? Has anyne tried it or done it? Can he or she help me? Or has one of the donation-coders a better way? I'd be very grateful. Thanks and regards, forkinpm.
