Hi, Frank S, thanks for your kind offer. The problem is that I never know what I'm going to need, or know, for my next project, be it repairing a household appliance, fixing something on one of my toys, or just helping a neighbour. For example, if I'm repairing a tear or split in sheet metal do I weld it, patch and glue it, patch and pop rivet it, solder it, or totally replace it. Being a real skinflint when it comes to replacing something that is repairable, having a resource like HMT and the charts you publish is a great help in this sort of decision making. Keep on publishing, I'm downloading and saving them all!

Thanks Mike; Many of these files are not or do not have much association with tools or tips. However as many well know having much of this information close at hand comes in very handy should they ever need to construct a building or work shop or many other things.
One of my problems is I no longer have my licensed Adobe acrobat editing software which would enable me to break up many of my existing larger PDF files into smaller more internet friendly pages. I have many of the free ware programs for making PDF files but in order to edit them I am having to convert them to HTML pages first which is laborious

Thanks nhengieer!! But does the freebie have nag screens? I have a license for several adobe suites on my graphic box but have to fire it up and transfer to use it and don't keep anything but graphic software on it. I have PDF Architect (Free...Nags and popups) and they irritate the Tarnation out of me!

Not really nags. Just a reminder window that you can support the 995Software effort with a $10 bill. The 'donation' shuts off the 'nag' window.

Just a thought.

Does the software sit on my PC or do I have to be online while editing converging extracting ETC. From what I was reading everything pointed to using a browser while creating or editing I prefer never to use a browser online when working on files I already have on my computer.

I think it's a download not cloud based, although small file sizes. If it is a program it actually may be efficient. I'm probably going to get the suite (tool set) for $29 as I have use for the Omni Format tools also. Try the freebee first then buy....and don't forget to get the Print Driver.

Freebee has nag/ads that go away after purchase.

Old testimonials but give details - been around a while now.

Hopefully it works in all browsers also and doesn't use a lot of PC headroom.

I might download it to an aux drive then dig around in it so many of the programs that offer the freebe try it you'll like scheme either have bloat ware embedded or hidden Easter egg programs that become a nuisance. Then when trying to use them offline as I normally do many of the features won't work.

PC based. Try it for free. What do you have to lose?
