    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?

    I still use touch.com from 1985... It makes all files have the same date time in a given folder.

            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 sometimes write code for an emulation of a 30 year old IBM Mainframe. The debugger I run for that is about 25 years old.

                              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.

                                        Yes, I'm a huge AR fan (thanks to you!) but I use SR98 for replacing text. /ravi

                                          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?

                                          Rock when I can't find a Hammer. Hamme when I can't find my Sword Sword when I can't find my Bow Bow when I can't find my gun. (And this is true. Deer hit me the other day and I didn't have my gun in my trunk so I lookd for my hunting bow, that wasn't there, and my sword/boui knife wasn't in my car either... so I took my hammer out, but the handle was broken so I used a rock to kill the deer so it wouldn't suffer... pretty funny when you think of it haha). oh.. For computers? notepad.
