Yes, there are two versions, actually three. You pay for two of them (Office and Pro) but one is free (Home).

This has caught several people in the long CC thread so it must not be obvious from their website. It sure doesn't help that they have so many versions.

Is this thread intended to be a "refinement and compilation" of this thread?

if so, a categorised version was way overdue, as the thread was quite unwieldy...I'm thinking the final list will be a good asset to any "geek'....

Not exactly..but similar.

A lot of utils in that thread are just ones that some people found and thought were cool.

This is "meant" to be real utilities that ABXers are using and to compile them into a list....instead of searching through a long thread to find things. I'm sure there will be much overlap though.

I thought to SnagIt as a screen capture software

[KingTermite]

Hi Baud.

Long time, no see.

Hi KT, in fact I am viewing the new posts everyday, but I am not very talkative since some weeks. No problems with me though
Just thinking a lot about lots of things, so I'm on the very busy side :ZZZ:

I'll add another good site to look for tweak software and shareware is the following.

http://www.snapfiles.com/

For Zip Software I use Powerarchiver.

http://www.powerarchiver.com/

For a system information tool/memory benchmark I use Everest Home Edition.

http://www.lavalys.com/

I wouldn't want to be without these utilities or websites.

I also use Screenprint Gold for doing screen captures.

I hope this helps.

[KingTermite]

Will get these latest ones in soon.

ATINUT...Everest (formerly Aida32) is already in the list.

I started using this primarily for my FTP Server application (BulletProof FTP Server) This also works great for Folding - Distributed Computing
