Applications / Re: Favorite/Required non-opensource OS/2-eCs apps?

Hi All
My favourite apps that are not open source - not in order of importance or use:-
RSJ - mainly used for burning CD copies for in car use
PMView - a great image viewer
Embellish - useful for editing images
Hoblink - useful for running x11 apps eg mediatomb
Cleanini - for those pre-eCS2.2b2 systems without DMT aka Desktop Maintenance Tool
INITools - useful tools for editing INI files
DFSee - the only times that this app has failed to recover data from crashed hard drives is when the drives have failed due to physical damage, ie detached read/write heads, or the drive electronics have failed making the drive totally inaccessible
BS_Info - comprehensive system information tool with links to various configuration tools
USB - aka USBcfg - having changed 2 mainboards recently this provided a quick way to check what USB controllers are on the new mainboards and reset config.sys files accordingly; apart from that I might as well plug my own app ;-)
VirtualPC for OS/2 - not used that often these days as I cannot to figure out how to install Windows7 32bit into a vpc from the Windows7 Ultimate DVD; Could anyone who knows how to do this create a "How To" in a new thread please
RPF Zip Control - I still like this for zipping/unzipping
Association Editor - useful tool for setting what app *you* want to open what file type/filter
Looking at the above does make me realise just how much open source software I use and that I am more likely to be using OpenOffice, Seamonkey, WDSibyl, dvddao, ghostview and various other open source apps rather than any of the non-open source apps during the course of a "computing day".
Regards
Pete
