Thanks for posting Neotech. I have not seen it before and have downloaded it to my, "Tooling Tips n Tricks" folder. To be investigated later,  :Doh: A bit like my to do list that just keeps getting longer the more I read on here.  :smart:

I downloaded this and was quite impressed, it is straightforward to use and includes quite a lot of background info to help you.

I spotted a couple of trivial bugs and emailed Richard Sanders, the author, who has fixed them and updated the version available for download.

If anyone else finds bugs please let him know as he is keen to fix them.

Here's another link - direct to the download site

I've been using it for about a year and find it a timesaver as I have an old laptop in the shed. saves time looking through my black book  :thumbup:

Very cool piece of software here.

On a similar note, a program I use multiple times daily (Conversion utility) -> http://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/
