hmmm. . . Day 2 and not one program in sight. . . this is not good. . . It was a whole different
story when all you guys had to do was post a list of program names. IMO you are a bunch of lazy
sods. ;) You're all hanging back hoping somebody else will do the descriptions of your favorite
programs for you.
This is a GROUP project. I can't do my job until you guys do yours.
This is a "gentle reminder" that I have to input ALL the program descriptions. Last year 368
programs were nominated. I cannot do 368 descriptions in one day - I need a BACKLOG of posted
program descriptions NOW if I'm to have them all on-line when the nominations period begins.

1: Ultimate Boot CD 4 Win
What is UBCD for Windows?
UBCD4Win is a bootable CD which contains software that allows you to
repair/restore/diagnostic almost any computer problem. All software
included in UBCD4Win are freeware utilities for Windows®.
UBCD4Win uses Bart's PE© to boot into a Windows®
"pre-install" environment, basically Windows® booted
from CD. With network support, the ability to modify NTFS volumes,
recover deleted files, create new NTFS volumes, scanning hard drives
for viruses, etc. this project is almost everything you need to
repair your system problems. There are many other types of utilities
included to allow you to recover and/or repair a damaged system.
Additional applications included are CD Burning, Backup/cloning,
Defragmenter's, Password recovery, the list goes on!! Please visit the
"<a href="contents.htm">List of Tools</a>" page for a
complete list of what is included in the latest version of the
project.
http://www.ubcd4win.com/faq.htm
What are the requirments for building UBCD4Win?
1. The files from your Windows Installation CD-Rom.
Supported Windows versions are:
Windows XP Home Edition (must be slip streamed with Service Pack 1 or
higher)
Windows XP Professional (must be slip streamed with Service Pack 1 or
higher)
Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
Download: Various utilities are required
http://www.ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm
============================================
2: UBCD4WIN Configuration Tool (still beta but released to the public)
(Working the bugs out right now. Versions likely to change)
"This is a utility that configures and builds UBCD4WIN for you. All
you really have to do is download and extract UBCD4WIN to any folder
that you choose then download this utility to that folder and run it.
It'll do everything else for you from downloading/extracting pebuilder
to downloading/installing the latest driver pack to building the iso
and burning the cd. You can even preview it with QEMU before it's
burned to cd.
Some of the things that it lets you configure are Keyboard Layout,
Screen Resolution, Desktop Wallpaper, Network Settings, Enable/Disable
Plugins, Enable/Disable Drivers, and more (just download it and try it
to see).
This is release #51 so you can imagine how many hours have gone into
developing this so thanks to all the betatesters (I'll mention
everyone's names later) and I hope I don't offend anyone but
Dirkgently42, Lawson23 and DigiWiz deserve a BIG thanks for all of the
"extra" time you put into helping with this project.
Remember that it's still in beta stages so please report any
suggestions/requests/bugs.
As of right now, the current version is 2.0.0.13"
...
I just uploaded 2.0.0.18 which will most likely be the version
included in the next version of UBCD4WIN.
...
http://ezpcfix.net/beta/ubcd4win.exe
Forum article:
http://www.ubcd4win.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2817&hl=
============================================
Well, it looks like the config tool is going to be distributed with
the next release of UBCD4Win. This will make the CD creation process
much simpler! After extracting the self extracting UBCD4Win file, run
the config tool. This tool will use download tools included in the
main file to download other files required for the project! It will
extract each file to the proper location. It also updates AV scanners,
Adaware, Spybot, etc. before the bootable CD is created.
UBCD4Win v2.55 is just about to be released. Consider this a
placeholder. I'll get the current version information in asap. It will
take a few days for us to check the new release for errors. The
addition of the config tool is going to be awesome for this great
project.

Programmers File Editor - PFE
<http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_TEXT.php#0587-PW>
Description - keep as is:
<http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/programs/0587-PW.php>
(Download links: OK)
Suggested change: despite the name, move from
[Editor: Programmer] to [Editor: Notepad].
Reason for suggested category move:
(1) it is/can be used as/ an excellent(1) overall
text editor for everyday use. (for the curios,
browse past comments about it - by yours truly;
<http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z3D6441DB> )
(2) it will probably fall short in the "Editor:programmer" category
due to lack of syntax-highlighting (and since it is no longer
developed).
All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

I never would have been able to get the UBCD4Win files via dialup

encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms
currently known (AES and Twofish). KeePass doesn't use any functions
that require the latest Windows operating system, such like theming on
XP or like a .NET application that requires a .NET framework (KeePass
supports XP themes, but doesn't require this operating system
capability).

New and cool:
PersonalEdition Classic Windows Betatest "Incremental VDF-Update"
If you are an AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic Windows user you can now
take part in the beta testing for the so called "incremental VDF
update".
What is the incremental VDF update?
Up to now all VDF updates have been made available in one large VDF
file. In the future this large VDF file will be split up into one
larger base VDF and several smaller VDF files. The large VDF file is
usually downloaded only once and then gets updated regularly (daily,
weekly, monthly) with smaller VDF files that are only a few hundred KB
in size. Thus the size of the VDF as well as the time needed to
download the file will be drastically reduced.
Direct d/l:
http://dl2.avgate.net/down/windows/inkrementell/avwinsfx_en.exe
Or goto: http://www.free-av.com/
Click on the Download tab and look for "15. September 2005: New
Beta-package available." and "More information" to download.
I'm downloading the beta now... more info later.

07 (DESCRIPTION) Total Uninstall can help you to monitor any changes that
were made to your system during installation of a new software product and
allow you to perform a complete uninstall without having to rely on the
supplied uninstall program (which may leave files or changes behind). To
use it, you simply launch the installation program from the Total Uninstall
interface and select the system areas to be monitored. The program will
then create a snapshot of your system before it installs the new software
and an additional snapshot after install completes. It then compares the
two snapshots and displays all changes in a graphical tree view, marking
all values and/or files that have been added or changed as well as some
before/after details. Total Uninstall will save these changes and if you
decide to uninstall the application, it will reverse all changes to the
previous state.

07 (DESCRIPTION) Keynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook,
based on Windows standard RichEdit control. It's always accessible with a
single keypress, even if you work in another application. You can include
many separate notes within a single Keynote file. This means that you can
create only one file and hold all your notes inside it and make it a three-
dimensional notebook: many notes within one file and a multi-level, nested
pages within a single note. Optionally, KeyNote can encrypt your data
securely using the Blowfish or Idea algorithms. Keynote's interface and
behavior are extremely configurable (e.g., full hotkeys support,
customizable toolbars buttons). The feature of "virtual nodes" allow
linking of a tree node to a file in the drive. Importing and exporting
notes from richedit format and text formats are supported. The program also
supports per-file configuration settings, multiple backups and WordWeb
dictionary integration. More features are included such as styles, macros,
plugins, and templates. It can be used as a NOTES keeper, a diary, an
outliner, a knowledge base and other different types of information
managers as the user prefers.

information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window
always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names
of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom
window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle
mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has
opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and
memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has
a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes
have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded. The unique capabilities of
Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or
handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications
work.

Greetings,

Susan Bugher
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2006/2006PL-Nominations.php
I did my usual lousy job of explaining how to post program descriptions. :(
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2006/2006PL-Procedures.php
The GOAL is to have information that I can copy and paste. I can input an app in a couple of minutes
if that's ALL I have to do. Data input takes "forever" if the data has to be massaged.
*If* you include the fields that are shown on the procedures page please keep the fields on SEPARATE
lines as shown in the example. If you post the "field description" on the same line as the data I
have to separate the two. Each fields represents a cell in the spreadsheet. If complete information
is on one line in the proper format and the proper order I can copy and paste it. If it occupies
more than one line in your post I have to reformat the information into one line. Word wrap is quick
- finding missing information, rearranging data, standardizing the format etc. etc. etc. is
extremely time consuming.
and please - don't reinvent the wheel. . .
If the program is on PL2005 you do not need to show the data fields. COPY the description, VERIFY it
and REVISE it as *necessary*. The goal here is to revise the things that have changed. Update the
descriptive text if the author has, update ware descriptions as necessary (note: donation requests
may not be on the same page as the app's description), versions, links etc. TELL ME WHAT YOU REVISED
- a word by word comparison takes "forever".
CHECK the ACF program information pages if the app is not on the PL2005 list. If there is a "desc."
link you do not need to show the data fields. COPY that program description, VERIFY it and REVISE it
as necessary. Please tell me WHAT you revised - a word by word comparison takes a long, long time.
If the app does not have a "desc." link use the information on the ACF pages as a starting point -
VERIFY it and REVISE it as necessary. If a program is not listed you'll have to start from scratch.
Please check *very* thoroughly before doing that.
Please use the descriptions on the Pricelessware pages as examples. I've tried to standardize the
information on those pages - information in the same order and syntax every time, dates
(year-month-day), download sizes (KB) etc. etc. etc.
I *hope* that's a better explanation - questions please. . .
Susan

Hi Demitris,
I changed a couple of your links to ones I think are more useful. Standard practice has been to show
only Windows downloads on the PL pages (no source files) - that's open to discussion if you think
the standard should be changed.
Please let me know if revisions are needed.

Languages: English
Description: Keynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook, based on Windows standard
RichEdit control. With its (optional) trayicon feature, it can be accessible with a single keypress.
You can include many separate notes within a single Keynote file. This means that you can create
only one file and hold all your notes inside it and make it a three- dimensional notebook: many
notes within one file and a multi-level, nested pages within a single note. Optionally, KeyNote can
encrypt your data securely using the Blowfish or Idea algorithms. Keynote's interface and behavior
are extremely configurable (e.g., full hotkeys support, customizable toolbars buttons). The feature
of "virtual nodes" allow linking of a tree node to a file in the drive. Importing and exporting
notes from richedit format and text formats are supported. The program also supports per-file
configuration settings, multiple backups and WordWeb dictionary integration. More features are
included such as styles, macros, plugins, and templates. It can be used as a NOTES keeper, a diary,
an outliner, a knowledge base and other different types of information managers as the user prefers.

Programmer's File Editor (PFE)
(Freeware) (Orphanware)
Windows OS: Windows 3x/95/98/NT/2000
Languages: English
Description: Programmer's File Editor (PFE) is a large-capacity text file editor, oriented towards
those who use Windows as their program development environment, and so incorporates many features
that make it a convenient work management system. Although it's primarily oriented to program
development, it makes a very powerful general editor for any purpose at all. PFE's capacity is
essentially limited only by the total amount of memory available on your system. There are no
editor-imposed limits on the number of files that you can edit simultaneously, nor on the number of
edit windows that you may have open. There is no limit on the size of file that can be handled, and
none on the number of lines that a file may contain. PFE adheres strictly to the Windows MDI
conventions. You can invoke most commands and facilities from menus; you can move around with a
mouse or with the standard keyboard shortcuts; you can cut and paste from the clipboard, and so on.
COMMENTS: Works well on XP Home too.

Hi Demetris,
Are you objecting to the use of the LAME name to describe a subset of LAME files? If Dmitry Kutsanov
is the author of the files that are listed in the PL2005 LAME description then it seems to me you
are coming at this from the wrong direction. . .
I can't use the description you posted. Pricelessware = specific software files that can be
downloaded. Pricelessware is not best source code or best group of related programs or best program
ideas - it's ACF participants' favorite software FILES - the ones that they download and use.
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2006/2006PL-Procedures.php
"The Pricelessware List is a compilation of the favorite Freeware programs of the readers of
alt.comp.freeware." "The software must be available for download."
The files that are listed in the program description are the basis for selecting Pricelessware apps.
When you submit a program description you need to include the file version, the date the file was
released, the file name(s) and the file size(s). FYI - PL2005 selections include earlier versions of
Winamp and Free Agent (not the current versions). There are a number of "last freeware versions" on
PL2005 etc. etc. etc. File information must be specific.

Languages: English
Description:
FileNote is a little shell extension that allows you to add textual
descriptions to your files. It adds one command to the shell context
menu of a file object. This command lets you easily edit or create a
text file that has the same name as the initial file, but with the
extension TXT.
For example, if you have a file, MyImage.jpg, you right-click on that
file and choose the FileNote command from the context menu. A new text
file called MyImage.txt is created and Notepad is opened to edit that
text file. If a text file with that name already exists, it will be
opened for viewing/editing.)

Unlocker is the solution! Simply right click the file or folder and select

It is recommended to Unlock wisely and to close open processes locking

is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to
how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression
because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back
compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home
stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file.
FLAC is freely available and supported on most operating systems,
including Windows, "unix" (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, OS X, IRIX), BeOS,

Hello, Susan,
LAME is wider than the sets compiled by mitiok, and the presentation
does not do justice to the team of LAME developers. mitiok has probably
done more than anyone else to make known the LAME codec (I, as many
other people, learned about LAME from his site and I use his sets to
this day), but mitiok's sets and LAME are *not* the same thing.
Also, in my eyes, the description now is not clear (and it wouldn't be
much clearer even if the name changed to something more specific, like
"mitiok's LAME set"): Does it say that acf members consider LAME the
best MP3 encoder, and that mitiok's compile is just their favourite
among the best LAME compiles? Or does it say that they only care about
mitiok's set and that, if mitiok stopped compiling, they would stay at
his last set of LAME, considering this the last version of LAME?
(The question is not hypothetical: earlier this year mitiok took his
site down, and was finally persuaded by the people at Hydrogen Audio,
where most LAME developers are members, to bring it back:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=35118)
(And I believe that, if mitiok persisted in his decision, the second
download site I suggested to add, rarewares, would host his latest LAME
set, along with the other sets they host: they are the people who
persuaded him to bring back his site.)

My information *was* specific: "11 (LINK 2 DESCRIPTION) download v
3.96.1 encoders/decoders (2004-07-24) (601 KB)". Only the file name is
missing.
To conclude:
In my opinion, either the program name has to change to something that
specifies that it is mitiok's LAME set, or, if it stays, mention must be
made of the LAME project. If the second, I'm sure there are better ways
than the one I suggested.
Greetings,
Demetris
PS
About source code: I never said anything about "best source code". I
mentioned source code in my suggested revision and note only to make
clear what the project page is and is not.
Also, about source code again, in your reply to another description I
submitted (FreeMind), you wrote:
"Standard practice has been to show only Windows downloads on the PL
pages (no source files) - that's open to discussion if you think the
standard should be changed."
I never mentioned source code there (or anywhere else in my submittals):
"(LINK 2 DESCRIPTION) download page: v 0.8.0 (2005-09-06) Installer
(3MB), Installer w/ SVG export (8MB), Zipped binaries (3MB), Zipped

you'll be an expert within minutes. It begins monitoring when you start it, and its output window
can be saved to a file for off-line viewing. It has full search capability, and if you find that
you're getting information overload, simply set up one or more filters.

Description: Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find
out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or
loaded. The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list
of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the
information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is
in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if
Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has
loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which
processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded. The unique capabilities of Process Explorer
make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the
way Windows and applications work.

in the Windows registry. These stored file types determine the appearance and actions supported for
a file by Windows. WAssociate is about being in control when double or right clicking a file,
quickly editing context menus, associated commands and changing icons and descriptions. Control
freaks have easy access to the Windows registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and more... NOTES: NT, 2000
and XP users must have the proper rights to edit the registry.

Sometimes you have to look at other sites. I found the info here:

I omitted the stable version: not sure if the OS info is the same and the author is strongly
recommending the beta. The ware desc. now includes Betaware. . .

It's Liteware. The change occurred after the program was nominated for PL2005 - the odd description
on PL2005 is a result of the timing of the change.
I'll start a discussion thread asking about the preferred version. Please post a revised description
when that's been discussed/decided.

A download page is *usually* better - AFAIK the best link in this case is the direct download.
