This isn't a list. It is a newsgroup. Some of us are sick of the never
ending comments about "MS bashers".

In this particular case, it was MS bashers deliberately spewing their biases in
the wrong thread.

I absolutely second MK for pointing that out.

Mp3tag
<http://www.mp3tag.de/en/>

It _could_ be put in 1 of these categories:
- Multimedia / 1 MP3 Tool
- File Utilities / 3 File Renamer
But maybe it's rather something like:
- Multimedia / 1 Media Tagger
- Multimedia / 1 Metadata Tool

I'd like to nominate the following two programs:



Program: FTP Wanderer 1.6
Category: Internet
Sub-Category: FTP Client
Ware Type: Freeware
Home Page: http://www.pablovandermeer.nl



Program: FTP Server 1.75
Category: Internet
Sub-Category: FTP Server
Ware Type: Freeware
Home Page: http://wwwl.pablovandermeer.nl


Both of these are easily configurable, small (each is less than 500
KB), and free-standing (that is, they don't install to the registry).

I'd like to nominate:

Program: UUDWin32
Category: eMail and News Tool
Cross-ref: Newsreader Tool
Ware Type: Freeware
Home Page: <http://my.execpc.com/~mspankus/>

[no sub category - suggest DECODERS/ENCODERS]

[useful, like when e-mail client or newsreader fails in proper
decoding of files]

Description [from homepage]:
<quote>
UUDWin is a hassle free Windows 3.1/Win95+ compatible program
designed to make it easy to quickly extract binary files encoded in a
variety of formats commonly used to send data through Email and the
Internet. UUDWin supports UUENCODE, XXENCODE, BINHEX4, MIME BASE-64,
MIME Quoted-Printable, MIME Text/Plain and the new yEncode encoding
formats. It's the easiest to use, most forgiving message decoder
available for the Windows platform! No sorting, formatting or other
processing of messages is required. UUDWin does it all for you. It
supports drag & drop and the clipboard.

Can be downloaded with or without installer.

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen
 
Hi Susan

Some nominations or secondments.


Clippy. Category: desktop/Clipbd extender + Text.
URL: http://wots.coolfreepage.com/
Clipboard extender.
(Does all kinds of wonders, but the "invert case" function alone maeks it
irreplaceable).


DirGraph 1.3.4 category: file utils + Sys utils
http://www.spillett.net/dirgraph
Hard disk management
Gives a graphical representation of which folders take up disk space.


Octopus Category: Internet/Download mgr
FTP and HTTP file downloader.
http://redrival.com/mak/octopus ; http://members.xoom.com/Moskalyuk/Octopus
Good multithreaded, restart, etc file downloader.
One file, no install, no registry, no muss no fuss. My type of gal.

NoHTML for OE Category: Internet/email
http://www.baxbex.com/nohtml.html
Plug-in for OE that replaces HTML by text in displaying incoming mail, thus
avoiding virus, banners, ads/pics, web bugs, tasteless stationnery, etc.

PDFexplorer Category: Business-Home + Graphics (?)
http://planeta.clix.pt/rtt
Extracts pictures from PDF files.


Sharkpost Category: Internet/Newsreaders
(IMO category should be renamed Internet/Usenet)
http://sharkpost.isgreat.tv/
Usenet binaries mass poster. It's the most advanced evolution of Chris Morse's
Powerpost2000, with yEnc, advanced scheduling and all the goodies. Developped by
Akula and abwi-0 folks, LOL. (Ggggaspp! vade retro!)



Some PCMag tools - URLs the usual pain to find. I can post in abf if needed
(I notice PCmag tools aren't listed at PL anymore. Did I miss a strike by
the purity integrist religious police? oh crap. They're an increasing pain.
I nominate these apps anyway, they're great and free.)


Clockrack - Multiple clocks for time zones + time sync
Dupeless - Duplicates checker
FileSnoop - explorer context menu display of text/hex/etc views of files
TapeCalc - tape calculator
