I am looking searching, gasping, crawling, the net for a decent and easy
to use relational database... (Something like filemaker) but I don't think
there is one.. :-(

However I am interested in most graphics and draw packages, webdesign apps
multimedia, sound, music...

As for browsers, Email, Office AV and Firewall etc... happy with what I
have..

Have you looked at this one:

kind of fun). How about you guys? Browsers? Chat programs?
What draw your interest most??

"Professional usage" programs.

e.g. CAD, image editing, audio editing, web design.

My area is electronics and there is a lack of free programs for circuit design
(mainly for circuit boards).

You might want to check this one out before it disappears:

In my reader, the link was converted to only
http://www.simtel.com/product.php[id]. Note that the link should
include "643[cid]92[SiteID]simtel.net" at the end. Also, since Simtel
is one of those &?!%#$!! sites that doesn't work in Mozilla, you'll
have to probably use IE to get the download.

Seems to be a Win95/98 program written back in 1998 -- which is not to
say it won't work now, after all, it claims to have "no
special requirements". You can also find reference to it at:

http://www.bookcase.com/library/software/win9x.undef.electrical.html

which includes an FTP download link from ftp.simtel.net which seems to
work okay; but the homepage link <http://www.quickroute.co.uk/> seems
to be defunct. The download is about 2.2 MB.


Cheers, Phred.

Simtel drives me nuts too.

to download from Mozilla. . .

The direct link - shown on the page itself - is:

http://www.simtel.com/pub/pd/643.html

change /pd/ to /dl/ to get the link to the download page:

http://www.simtel.com/pub/dl/643.html

copy one of the download links on that page - for instance:

http://www.simtel.com/product.downl...te]US, Minnesota (HTTP)[x]0[SiteID]simtel.net

throw away all the garbage and you have a nice clean DL link.

Bookmarked! Thanks.

See my 'context menu extender' post
and

http://www.trogsoft.org/products/sendto/

which is very nice

I must be doing something wrong, jo, I installed this before but it
never shows up on my right-click menu when I want to sendTo a shortcut
to a particular folder.

When you right click on an item, select Send To and there should be a
new item named by default, 'Any Folder'... click on that and take it
from there.

If you do not have 'Any Folder', I don't know what the problem might
be and can only suggest an uninstall and reinstall. The other app I
mentioned might be better since it lets you add an item straight to
the right click main menu.

I will try this.

For my circuit simulation program, I use LT Spice. For circuit drawing, gEDA.
Just need a PCB design program now.

Thanks!!!!!

Hmmph. You did notice, I hope, that I was the one who found the
program. However, Susan did simplify the link.

I saw the thank you and went "huh?????" Glad you liked the
Simtel tips John.

I myself like it very much. Yet one thing still makes it a
bit hard to use is that one cannot flat read and unread mails
in it (all new mails are either read or unread, and you could
only mark the "last x unread") ...hope that the flag feature
will come soon :-|

We will add this feature in Pimmy 3.6 and we hope to have a first by the
end of september / october.

Bye,

Yes, you can even define your own shortcuts. Try going to a menu, selecting an
entry (don't click it) and press any key combo that isn't used. You have an
instant shortcut.

I use it because it's the only e-mail program that I actually like.

RPGs would be nice, particularly ones where you do not get "killed" as
soon as the game starts. Any non-violent RPGs would be welcome.
