During longtime I was looking for the ideal combination Editor+File Manager on Windows 2000 Professional for a web IDE. I tested all text editors, all editors for programmers and all file managers available on the Net. During months I was seeking for this ideal couple and finally this Thursday August 03 I encountered it!! Yeah, finally I discovered the perfect marriage between these tools: DiskJockey Professional 2000 version 3.1.3d and NoteTab Professional version 4.82. With this couple you can works fine on a web IDE secure and reliable, with total control on all tasks, on all files. I tested this combination and my productivity was increased in minimum 30 per cent! Try you and see by yourself.

File manager, image viewer, zip-unzip machine, FTP client and  site administrator at the same time, DiskJockey gives to you absolute control on your job as webmaster, with inexpressive CPU usage, low physical memory request and security. NoteTab Pro is a leading-edge text editor and HTML coding tool, and an ideal Notepad replacement. Winner of top Shareware industry awards in 1998 and 1999, this elegant application does it all: you can handle multiple large files with a simple tabbed interface, use a spell-checker and thesaurus, format text, use multiple undo, and bookmark documents. You can build templates, use powerful system-wide searches, and do global multi-line replacements. In the screenshot below you can see NoteTab Pro 4.82 with the color insertion box for HTML pages opened. If you are using a web editor such Namo, as me, for design and project, NoteTab Pro gives to you the advantage of automatic format on all texts: when you copy any text using NoteTab Pro when you paste it on Namo the text is automatically formatted in your page!!

In the next photo below you can see NoteTab Pro 4.82 using the Images to HTML, one of a collection of Utilities that are available by a simple click of the mouse on the bottom.

About DiskJockey 2000 Pro

DiskJockey 2000 Pro 3.1.3d Rated 5 Butterflies

DiskJockey is the new version of Clear & Simple's advanced file management system. Incorporating standard file management features with the industry's most advanced file viewers, full-featured Zip tools, and a slick, fast FTP client, DiskJockey 2000 is a dream come true for everyone from the casual web surfer to writers, graphic artists, engineers, and web designers. By bringing these essential file tools together in a no-nonsense package, DiskJockey saves users the time of juggling several applications and the frustration of not having the ability to view any file at any time.

DiskJockey 2000 brings the power of several applications together at your fingertips. To learn more about DiskJockey's wide range of capabilities, please browse these topics:

File Manager
DiskJockey performs all of the standard file management functions—copying, moving, deleting, renaming, creating folders, finding, and even formatting diskettes. When you click on a folder, DiskJockey lists the files contained and displays important file and folder system information. See Also Interface Overview.

File Viewer
When you click on a file, DiskJockey displays its contents in the View Window. Capable of viewing over 230 file formats, the viewer also allows users to view and print right from the View Window and copy text or graphics directly to the clipboard. You can also print or rotate graphics, or convert graphic files to another bitmap format. As a collaborative tool, DiskJockey makes it possible for users to work with a wide range of file types without the added overhead and cost of a multitude of software applications. See Also View Window.

Zip/Unzip
DiskJockey has a Zip and Unzip utility for PKZIP format files. You can create zip files, add new files to a current zip file, and unzip files. See Also Zip Files.

Quick Zip/Unzip
DiskJockey Quick Zip might be better named "One Click Zip/Unzip." Use it to quickly zip or unzip a file in the current folder. See Also Quick Zip and UnZip.

Mini Internet Browser
If you are connected to the Internet you can enter a URL address in DiskJockey's "Browser Bar" to display the web page in the viewer screen. It also acts as a gif viewer (including animated gifs). An additional bonus of including the Windows Internet Explorer interface in DiskJockey is that any plug-in viewers installed for IE4 will also operate inside DiskJockey's IE interface (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat, etc.) See Also Web Navigation Info Bar.

File Transfer Protocol
An exciting new feature in DiskJockey 2000 is its built-in File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. FTP is a method of transferring files between your PC, the local system, and a remote PC running FTP server software. DiskJockey's FTP client is designed to be easy to use, fast, and reliable. The DiskJockey FTP client features a simple setup interface, multithreaded file transfer for super-fast multiple file downloads, and resumeable download capabilities so that when a transfer is cut off, you can resume it without having to start from the beginning. See Also FTP Neighborhood.

Encryption/Decryption
DJ's file encryption feature lets you quickly protect your files with private passwords. Decryption lets you quickly access them. See Also Encrypt and Decrypt Files.

Multi Threading
All major functions of DJ are performed in background threads—this makes DJ responsive. You won't have to stare at a floating icon during a long operation, like copying a large file or files. See Also Multi Threading.

About NoteTab Pro 4.82

NoteTab Pro 4.82 Rated 5 Butterflies

NoteTab™ is an award-winning text and HTML editor for Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000, and higher. It is user friendly and also feature rich with many innovative productivity tools. Its features appeal to users ranging from novice to very demanding. Whether you create web pages, write source code, send e-mail, take notes, analyze text, read files, or do anything related to text, you will certainly find NoteTab a worthy tool and a great time saver.

Innovative Features

Unlike MS-Notepad that comes with Windows, NoteTab lets you edit documents of virtually any size. Furthermore, you can open as many documents as your system's memory will allow, each with its own button in the tab bar.

NoteTab is not your typical text editor and is currently unrivaled by the range of useful features it offers. You can, for example, open links in your default browser, calculate mathematical expressions, create outline-type documents, convert text files to web pages, strip tags from HTML documents, send documents as e-mail, capture text copied to the Clipboard, view detailed text statistics, etc.

One of the most original features, which NoteTab was the first to implement, is the Editor Clipbook. This is a flexible tool for handling text clips, which can be anything from a single character to a large "boilerplate" chunk of text. Clips are stored in libraries with a header for identification, and retrieved by selecting the appropriate header from the list or by typing the first matching characters of the header into your document and hitting a function key. When auto-replace mode is enabled, the Clipbook tool can provide functionality similar to WinWord's AutoCorrect feature.

By default, pasting a Clipbook item will overwrite any selected text in your document. But by customizing your clip text with simple codes you can do anything from wrapping the clip around a selection (great with HTML tags), to launching other programs, to loading files, to sending the document as e-mail, to calculating the result of functions with multiple variables, etc.

Starting with version 4.5, the Clipbook is programmable and supports features such as variables, functions, commands, conditional statements, events, etc.! Furthermore, commands also provide seamless support for Perl and Gawk interpreters; scripts can be stored in Clips and applied directly to highlighted text or the whole document.

Of course, NoteTab also offers the features you expect to find in a good text editor such as Find/Replace in all open documents or disk files, read and write files in DOS/UNIX/EBCDIC/Mac format, sort/join/split/indent lines, change character case and text alignment, convert between ASCII and ANSI, spell checker, thesaurus, automatic indentation, etc.

NoteTab is very customizable. You have a selection of more than 90 commands to choose from for the toolbar and the main shortcut menu. You can even create your own toolbars from scratch, with your own icons and commands. The editor's behavior can be fine tuned to suit your needs, thanks to many options. NoteTab can even replace Notepad by simply selecting a menu command. All these great features have earned NoteTab many awards and favorable reviews in the press.
