Pattern-making Calculator is a unique calculator specially designed for pattern-making purposes and for fashion designers. You can perform calculation with simple fractions as well as decimal fractions. This gadget comes with nice, large, and easily read buttons and displays.Editor's review of Pattern-Making Calculator
Linear measurement conversion is effortless using this handy application. Designed as an aide for garment makers, it has a calculator interface with predefined fractional buttons and a results screen. Pattern-Making Calculator converts decimal input to fraction and vice versa, though it accommodates only up to thirteen digits. Input can be pasted into the application. The fraction to decimal conversion is accurate. However, the decimal to fraction conversion is not exact as it converts the decimal figures to the nearest 1/32th. This application also converts inches and centimeters. It quickly calculates the radius of the inner circle from a given perimeter using four tool-tipped, direct-conversion buttons. We are disappointed to find the help file is only available online. This freeware will be of great help to all users with a need to convert and calculate fractional measurements.

During our tests, the program quickly displayed the results. If you're feeling lucky, the program does perform wild card searches as well. DBNS Word Finder comes preloaded with a large list of words and also includes the ability to add the master list through the WordList Editor. On occasion, the program generated two-letter words, which are not typically accepted in most word games. But that small glitch won't prevent game addicts from appreciating all this program offers.

ComicBase has a neatly designed, skinnable interface that is simple to understand. It comes preloaded with more than 300,000 comics titles, and you can easily add, edit, copy, or delete entries. It can handle tons of information for each title, including comic type, condition, and selling price. You can quickly pinpoint a specific issue by title, publisher, or even cover price. We found it easy to import images of the cover and to preview and print reports. We like the quick-access link to atomicavenue.com to purchase new comics or to sell what you already have. To our dismay, we experienced a few performance stalls. Its whopping 102MB download size might turn off potential users as well. Even so, any avid comic collector will benefit from this handy and useful freeware application.

Plangarden vegetable gardening design software is the perfect gardening companion for assisting in planning and recording your vegetable garden. Easy to use software allows you to create your garden space, and then drag and drop the vegetables that you want to plant on the map of your garden. The software also includes a harvest recorder and daily log for tracking your gardening progress.Editor's review of Vegetable Garden Design
This software puts organizational rather than planting tools into gardeners' hands, but its response time can be slow going. Vegetable Garden Design runs without system installation, though you'll have to register your name and e-mail address to access the 45-day trial. Its tabbed, clear-cut UI provides navigational ease among its sections for creating garden plots, managing vegetables, and tracking planting activities. Forty-five plants are preloaded, with offerings from A (artichokes) to Z (zucchinis). You can input plant information such as variety, number of plants, and date planted. Adding and monitoring harvest and gardening activities--including estimated harvest date, yield quantity, soil work, and pest control--is relatively hassle-free. Moreover, you can print and save plots and logs. The program's lengthy response time will bother users, but it's the primary flaw of this helpful app. Vegetable Garden Design makes it easy enough for any gardening enthusiasts to manage crop inventory and planting activities.

It's a good way to catalog your coin collection, but MYDB Coins Admin falls flat in the reports department. You won't need to spend any time learning your way around the simple but neatly organized interface, especially with the sample data to use as a guide. Adding, editing, and deleting records is easy, and we like the drag-and-drop option to insert images of the coins. The search tool is speedy too, presenting results as soon as you start typing. MYDB Coins Admin collects all of the primary information about your coins, including title, condition, and status (buy, sell, keep), but also gives you 10 fields to customize as you like. You can't import data, but you can export in TXT or CVS formats. Everything was fine until we got to the reports. They didn't look like anything we'd expect and were generally a mess. You can only create 10 records during trial. Aside from English, the program is also available in German and Portuguese. If you're only interested in organizing your collection, MYDB Coins Admin fits the bill, but if you need usable reports, you'll want to keep looking.

Breeding Master helps breeders to keep all data in one place, to have easy access to them and to manage them with several mouse clicks. Breeding Master makes breeding easier.Editor's review of Breeding Master
While you'll find numerous options to catalog details about breeding dogs, this program lacks some key features we'd like to see. Breeding Master's interface is well-organized, but with the help file missing in action, sample data would have lessened the learning curve. Breeding Master's tree-view list displays several categories for recording and tracking such details as dog breeds, pedigree number, vaccinations, health information, dog shows, awards, and kennels. The program also allows you to import images. It's easy to operate; however, tools for tracking and computing expenses for food, vitamins, immunization, and grooming would have really taken this program up a notch. Plus, you can't create reports or export and print data. Even so, if you're willing to forgive a few missing features, this is a viable program for staying on top of your needs.

You'll find detailed information including the industry's Scott Numbering System, description, condition, value, and purchase information, along with an image when available. Although, it's quite easy to add your own images and entries, you may be overwhelmed by all the options. The program comes with nice printing options to produce standard reports, labels, and file cards. However, you won't be overly impressed with its search feature. Additionally, it's not capable of printing stamp images and only provides a limited number of images in this trial version. Despite its gargantuan file size (48 MB) and its flaws, serious philatelists will be impressed with StampManage.

This program helps users create Japanese puzzles also known as pic-a-pix, griddlers, and nonograms, but the program is limited to those familiar with these puzzles. LogTeks Puzzle Maker has a simple interface that gives users the ability to create black-and-white or color puzzles by painting selected cells to create a hidden picture. The program then counts all cells and calculates the formula necessary to reveal the hidden picture and solve the puzzle. Once a puzzle is created, users can test the puzzle or print it, although the testing functions isn't 100 percent accurate and is extremely slow. Additionally, the program only creates puzzles that are 50 cells in height and width and the colors are limited to eight. While this program definitely requires time and patience on the front end, Japanese puzzle enthusiasts will find this freeware application worthwhile.

You have to admire this specialized program's simple but comprehensive approach to printing a wide range of paper targets, even if you're not into sport shooting. The easy-to-operate UI looks like a standard Windows application, so it's a snap to use. Targets are grouped into categories and organized in a list on the left side of the screen, while thumbnail images of the targets are displayed on the right. TargetExpress comes preloaded with more than 500 targets, including IBS, military, and NRA. Despite the numerous options, the publishers have gone the extra step with the New Target Wizard, a great tool to help users create their own targets. Most targets are calibrated for the standard letter paper size, though you can easily change the paper size according to your preference. You can preview before printing to check your results. TargetExpress print outputs were impressive and looked professional.

This humongous, comprehensive stamp-collection database application packs a punch, but oddly lacks useful features. StampManage has an advanced but well-organized interface that novices may find intimidating. Select the Values tab to find this application's treasure; it comes preloaded with thousands of database entries from several countries from 2001 and 2003 through 2006. You'll find detailed information including the industry's Scott Numbering System, description, condition, value, and purchase information, along with an image when available. Input information about your stamps, but you may be overwhelmed by all the options. The program comes with nice printing options to produce standard reports, labels, and file cards. Curiously, it's lacking a robust search feature. Nor is it capable of printing stamp images (some of which are fuzzy) and only provides a limited number of images in this trial version. Despite its gargantuan file size and its flaws, serious collectors will be impressed with StampManage.

Help resources for selected parameters.Editor's review of Aquarium Lab
You'll find numerous options to catalog details about your aquarium and little to complain about with this intuitive program. Aquarium Lab's skinnable interface is well-organized, but sample data would lessen the learning curve, especially with the Help file missing in action. A tree-view list is divided into three main categories: Main Tank, Refugium, and Sump, each with the same list of options nested below. You'll be able to track extensive details about the fish and equipment, and record water changes, food, and additives. In addition, conversion charts and calculators are available for computing chemical quantity. The program also totals expenses for food and equipment, and includes a number of reports to track inventory and other items. You can export but not print data. Overall, Aquarium Lab is a flexible, user-friendly program that can help anyone with the care and maintenance of his or her aquarium.

This Windows operating system software will produce detailed picnic table plans based on the users input. With a few mouse clicks, you can easily design a picnic table sized for babies, children, adults, extra tall persons, and wheel chair accessible. Other than square cuts, the software is programmed to use only two angles for ease of construction and aesthetics. It first attempts positioning the bottom of the table legs under the table seat in order to minimize the risk of table-tipping. David Eidsness, the software author, has a building construction background which included designing and building picnic tables commercially of limited designs. Lessons learned from past experience translates into software design features with emphasis towards a user friendly software program. Editor's review of Eidsness Picnic Tables U-Design
This nifty software app helps you plan and build picnic tables in a snap. Eidsness Picnic Tables U-Design certainly won't win any beauty accolades, but you'll appreciate its functionality. The program lets you easily customize picnic table dimensions, including the overall length, table and seat height, seat-to-table distance, and top size. It supports both U.S. and metric systems of measurement. Once we entered all of our table's measurements, we were able to view the side and front panels of our table. We were also impressed by the variety of premade table designs for adults and children, as well as for accommodating wheelchairs. For those who haven't found their inner craftsman, Eidsness Picnic Tables U-Design does include some tips, illustrations, and information regarding materials and assembly instruction. Overall, we would recommend this freeware for just about anyone looking for easy, build-it-yourself projects.

The Visual Horse Software is for horse owners, breeders, and boarding facilities. Makes reports and has tools for breeding and boarding facilities. This Software is to assist you in making better decisions about breeding, boarding, and the health and training of your horses. Version 2.4 is build for Windows Vista.Editor's review of Visual Horse Software: Horse Manager
This database-style application lets horse owners record key details about their animals. The program's interface is fairly intuitive to use, but it lacks visual appeal and has an amateurish design. Visual Horse allows you to record information such as a horse's training and performance data, pedigree, and health history. You also can use it to take stock of your stable inventory and create feeding schedules. Business tools include a finance calculator along with billing, expense, and income tracking. One nice feature is the ability to export reports into Word or Excel. While the templates are useful, the horse screensaver seems like more of a novelty feature for a business program. The trial version allows you to enter only one horse, with registration fees on a sliding scale. All told, Visual Horse seems like a decent bet for single-horse owners as well as those who manage small to midsized equine businesses.

This means it can be exchanged with friends or colleagues at the click of a button.Editor's review of Plantasia Home Edition
Though you're only allowed to view a limited number of plants and flowers, Plantasia Home Edition is one of the more reliable and easy-to-use database applications that we've seen. The program sports a well-designed, multipaneled interface that is simple to operate. Plant categories are organized into a simple tree-view list on the left side of the screen. The right side houses tons of information such as species, growth habits, climate and nutrition, plant cycle, suitable soil conditions, and much more.The program comes preloaded with plant information, and you can add your own or edit existing information. We like the dialog boxes that contain entries to fill entry fields (flower shape, fragrance, fruit type, and so on). Moreover, you can upload images, import/export plant fact sheets in DOC format, and build projects quickly by dragging and dropping plant entries into your project folder. Print tools are also available.Our only complaint is that users can only view the first 10 plants of each category during the trial; nonetheless, you'll still find loads of information. With that said, Plantasia Home Edition makes it easy for any gardening enthusiast to access and manage information on plants and flowers.
