Hi all, I'm putting together a website that promotes free computing and free software packages over comercial alternatives. Basically i'm after other peoples experiences (i'm sure i'm not the only one that uses free software). So come along and submit your favourite free software package (you can even write a review) by free i mean no adware, no shareware, really free the site is freecomputing.chuckles34.net Cheers

Hey, I'm sure that you already know of this one, but I am the Network Administrator for my company and we have started using Open Office on all of the normal PC's. I have installed it on about fifty PC's and it works good for every day type work. The only thing that you have to adjust is under Tools-Options-Load and Save-General change the defaults to microsoft9x\2000 files. This is good to just clear up any confusion with users.

A couple of years ago, I had a file that was over 1.44 kb. With the help of my instructor, we found a file splitter that actually worked. Now, this was before the time of CD-RW or Zip Drives. I tried to find that specific splitter, HJSPLIT, but had no luck. with this URL, http://www.tucows.com/system/filesplit95.html, there are several that sound just great and some are Freeware. If you are ever stuck without a CD-RW or Zip Disk, here is the answer. Good Luck ; �

A good program I use for file splitting is Accusplit(http://members.cox.net/AccuSplit_support/Index.htm), and you can select a type of recordable media (CD, floppy, ZIP) and it will automatically split your file to that size. I've never had problems with it rebuilding files either.
