    I was thinking what the the tool what I use in my PC. And the conclusion is http://www.getright.com/[^] I have changed Windows versions, tools, needs, internet connection but I have always used GetRight. What is the oldest tool what you still use?

      Scour Media Agent. For some reason, I really like its interface. VuePrint and UltraEdit come close too, as well as most of my Software by Design programs.

                One I wrote myself back in 96 using Borland's Turbo C++ v2.0. It is not used a whole lot so I have not bothered to update it. It was written for Windows 3.1 so I had to write my own date edit and spin controls.

                                  I think I've got an even older copy (?) from when it was still called WinCake (I think it was anyway, probably mistaken), but can't see what version it is because I havn't got my floppy reader available for the laptop.

                                      One I wrote myself back in 96 using Borland's Turbo C++ v2.0. It is not used a whole lot so I have not bothered to update it. It was written for Windows 3.1 so I had to write my own date edit and spin controls.
