Dr. File Finder's Picks

Reviews of Excellent Software

by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder ™

Reviewed This Week......


Reviewed by Dr. File Finder
Hey there, I'm glad you stopped by. I hope your week has been going well and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Among the many things I've been doing this week is looking at some more software to tell you about. Last week I finished up my review of some of the Shareware Industry Awards and SIAF People's Choice Awards winners. Starting this week I'll be reviewing good programs that I think you'll be interested in. From games, to utilities, to applications, and lots, lots more. So, let's get started and take a look!


  • ClipMate by Thornsoft Development
  • Version: 3.5.09
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
  • Get more info.
  • Download ClipMate NOW!

    ClipMate turns your ordinary Windows clipboard into a powerful clip-handling machine. Unlike the default clipboard, which holds only one item, ClipMate can hold hundreds! This is one program that I've personally used for years and wouldn't be without. Each time you "copy" or "cut" something new, the program 'remembers' or saves that clip. You can actually have collections of items you paste into things often. And that includes text and graphics.

    For example, say you have a number of things you often paste into your email messages. Create an "Email" collection and put all those clips in there. You can give each one a unique name so they're easy to remember. You can also designate any collection as a "safe" collection. That means that if you should forget and try to delete a protected clip, you'll be prompted first. That way, nothing gets deleted accidentally. You can also have collections that are limited by size, or by the number of days they've been in the program. You can also print your clips, edit them, and lots more. ClipMate can even reformat quoted sections of email and remove all of the ">" quote symbols. A great way to clean-up jokes and other material you get via email. And I've just scratched the surface.

    ClipMate, by Thornsoft Development, is a powerful tool that you'll find yourself using all the time. In fact, try it and you'll find you come to depend on it. It provides a great way to work with all the things you cut, copy, and paste each day. You really owe it to yourself to give this one a try! Excellent!


  • The Bat! by RITLABS
  • Version: 1.61
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
  • Get more info.
  • Download The Bat! NOW!
  • To see a screenshot of The Bat!, click here!

    The Bat! is a really excellent email client and it's packed with features. To begin with, it has support for both POP3 and IMAP4 email. It can also handle multiple accounts with ease. You may say that quite a few email clients have that feature so lets look at what The Bat! has that's unique. Like a mail "ticker" that shows you the headers of your incoming mail just like a stock ticker. Very slick! And, if you're concerned about security, the program has support for PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), to keep your email secure.

    Another feature I really like is "spell-as-you-go" which handles spelling errors as they occur. It has multi-lingual support, message filtering, and a built-in HTML viewer. It's also very configurable and has a powerful macro/scripting language. The message filtering is very powerful and about the best I've ever tested. You can configure the user interface, import messages from major email programs, and organize your email in Explorer-style folders. It also has message templates that are fully customizable, to give your email some flair. And, it gives you flexibility because each folder can have its own templates. Very cool!

    The Bat!, by RITLABS, is a powerful email client that's also easy-to-use. While it appeals to someone like me because of it's many advanced features, it would also be great for novice users. I've tried basically every email program that's available online, and so far, I like The Bat! the best! Check it out for yourself!


  • FTP Voyager by RhinoSoft.Com
  • Version: 9.0.0.7
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
  • Get more info.
  • Download FTP Voyager NOW!
  • To see a screenshot of FTP Voyager, click here!

    FTP Voyager is one of my favorite FTP clients. It has an "Explorer-like" interface, so it's easy to use for both new and experienced users. When the program is running it monitors the Windows clipboard, so you can copy a file link from a site and the program will start downloading that file for you. Pretty slick! In addition, you can create file lists for both downloads or uploads. In addition, FTP Voyager also supports drag and drop, so you can simply drag files to the interface for transfer. Cool!

    FTP Voyager has a built-in scheduler so you can schedule file transfers you want to do. This feature lets you automate tasks like updating your Web pages. It has the power to download, upload, delete, and even synchronize files! Heck, it'll even dial up the Internet for you if you aren't connected. Very slick! There's also a neat feature that allows you to transfer files directly between FTP servers. (This function doesn't work with all servers, but it's great when it does.)

    FTP Voyager, by RhinoSoft.Com, is a powerful FTP client that's also easy-to-use. That's one thing I really like about it. It has all the extra features that experienced users want, but it's also easy enough for novice users to get going with! This award-winning product has all the power you'll ever need -- so try it out for yourself. I think you'll like it.


    That brings us to a close for this week. Now you have a great clipboard enhancer, a powerful email program, and a multi-featured FTP client to look at! I hope you've enjoyed this weeks "Picks" and that you'll take the time to try them out. All of them are truly excellent products. I'll be back next week with reviews of some more great software, just for you. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your week and have a great weekend!
