(Donationware)
Windows OS: Windows (32-bit)
Languages: English; language packs for many other languages
Description: Stickies is a PC utility I wrote to try to cut down on the
number of Post-It® notes I was leaving stuck to my monitor. It is a
computerised version of those notes. Once on screen, stickies will
remain where placed until closed, even through reboots. Stickies
appearance can be customised; fonts, colours and buttons may be changed,
and styles saved. Stickies can be resized horizontally. Languages other
than English for the interface are also supported. Stickies can be
transferred from one machine to another either over a TCP/IP network
connection, or by using a SMTP mail server (Hierarchical friends list,
which may be automatically transferred from other friends. WAV file
play/PC speaker beep on receive. Signature for transmitted or emailed
stickies. Favourite friends can be chosen.) Stickies can be hidden (sent
to sleep!) for a certain period, until a specified date and time, or to
wake every day, week or month, to act as reminders. International
language support. Save to file/Import from file, to transfer stickies by
removable media. Stickies is small and simple, it writes to a single
text file, and does not touch the registry.

Ghostscript uses a command line interface and lots of complicated
parameters so it is not at all easy to use. So I created a simple but
powerful Front End......

leaves only text and URLs without "breaking" the page layout much."

etc as straight ASCII text. Can function on individually-saved pages or
else process your entire disk cache. Ideal tool for resending via e-mail
or dozens of different uses. Written and compiled in DOS, not Windows.
OK

They should work fine under Windows but forget handling things like long
file names under Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2000, and WinNT.

Change the first "They" to "Htmstrip", thus:

"Htmstrip should work fine under Windows but forget handling
things like long file names under Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2000,
and WinNT."

COMMENTS: I
use this CLI (command line interface app, quite often under Win2k.
Very configurable!! via both ini-file and command line switches. Handles
tables very well. It does not handle LFNs - so output files from LFN
files will give short names only, but I can live with that given the
nice plain text output.)

Drop the above comments, just replace it with:
"Very configurable - via both ini-file and command line switches.
Handles tables very well!"
