I would like to nominate the following

Pardon (Dictionary) (Freeware)
http://www.softbear.no/

Pardon is an extensible electronic dictionary for your computer. It gives
you access to many extensive dictionaries that can be freely downloaded from
our Web-site. Additionally, it provides integrated access to many online
dictionaries and encyclopedias.

Polder Backup (Backup) (Freeware - donations encouraged but optional)
http://www.xs4all.nl/~philippo/PolderBackup.htm

PolderBackup is getting serious! Because of overwhelming response to my call
for support of the Polderweg Animal Wellfare organization,where I got my cat
Chita, I decided to develop this version to celebrate their 100th
anniversary. It can zip and unzip now, comes with a restore function.
PolderBackup is an easy to use backup tool with a good array of features
that will meet most basic backup needs. You can select directories and files
to be backed up and save them as templates, so you can keep multiple backup
sets and only start the one you need. The program supports recursive
directories, file filters and moving redundant files to the recycle bin.
Your backup process is clearly documented, all steps of the way are logged
and accessible from the interface. That way you can be certain that the
backup was successful. Very easy to use. Supports command line options, and
is very pro-cats! Current version: 2.7.0
So start using this program before windows screws up your computer and it's
too late. And if you like it, SEND MONEY to the animals. Here's the account
number of the animal shelter "Dierenopvangcentrum Polderweg" in Amsterdam:
69.67.12.148 of ING Bank in the Netherlands.
IBAN: NL04 INGB 0696 7121 48.
SWIFT address: INGBNL2A.
Mention 'PolderBackup Gift'. Remember that it's officially tax deducible.
Another, easy way to donate money to support Polderweg is by Paypal:


Spell Checker for OE (Freeware) (Email)
http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/

This is a free program, I made to allow people to use Spell Checker in
Outlook Express. This is a stand alone application,
that incorporates in Outlook Express.

The purpose of this program, is to supply for free the ability to use
Spelling in OE, without the need to purchase other software, such as MS

seconding this.

Nominations are now open for the the 2004 Pricelessware list

I'd like to nominate two RAM DISK utilities: The first one for
NT/2k/XP, the second one for Win9x/DOS.

The first one I nominate for its ease of use with NT/2k/XP, the second
one I nominate since it is simply the best I have seen for use with
DOS/Win9x. It is also the perfect utility for those in need of a
ramdisk for use with/on their DOS/Win9x boot disks (often seen in use
on various DOS/Win9x rescue and AV disks found online). Surprised it
is not already listed.

I think this would go under internet; I use it all the time. It works with
any ieshell.



ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text
input boxes on a webpage. It should come in particularly handy for users who
do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries).
Even if your web application already includes spell checking functionality,
you might still want to install this utility because it is definitely much
faster than a server-side solution. Plus you get to store and use your
personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining
separate ones on each application.

KookieJar 6.3
open source freeware
OS: Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP
home page: http://www.tranglos.com/free/kookiejar.html
download:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kookiejar/kj6setup63.exe?download

description (culled from home page):
Kookie Jar generates signatures you may use with your favorite email
or news program. Typically, KookieJar starts automatically with
Windows, lives in the tray, chooses a new random tagline at a
predefined interval, and stores it in your .sig file. Apart from
this, KookieJar can place many other pieces of information in your
signature. To define the layout of your signature and tell the
program what to include in it, you create a special template (sample
included). KookieJar can manage not just one signature, but as many
as you need. Signatures can be generated in three formats: plain
text, RTF, or HTML (if your email program supports those formats,
and if your recipients do not mind non-text email).

CVS = Concurrent Version System ?

And this is not only for use over the internet, I think "Programming /
