OT: My Favorite Software

[Mike Wickham]

I've got lots of software installed on my computer, but there are only a few 
programs that I really love and use a lot. Besides FrameMaker and the Adobe 
Creative Suite products, there really is only one program that I use every 
day-- Directory Opus.

Directory Opus is a file manager that beats the pants off of Windows 
Explorer (Sorry, but there's no Mac version). You can make dual windows, 
compare directories, do batch renaming, and so much more. You can save a 
list of favorite directories for one-click jumps. It's got so many more 
features and so much more power, that I don't know what I'd do without it. I 
can even install Directory Opus to a thumb drive to carry around for use on 
other people's computers without having to install it on their machines. It 
has a ton of options and it's hugely customizable. You can pretty much 
customize the whole interface, if  you want, including what appears in 
status bars. It even beats PowerDesk and ExplorerPlus-- other third party 
programs I've used in the past.

Anyway, it makes my life a lot easier, so I thought some of you might want 
to take a look. You can find information and download the full version for a 
free 60-day trial here:
