Tools I no longer use (since Jan 2014)

Object REXX

When I changed development machines I did not reinstall all the tools I was previously using. I no longer have Object REXX installed. Which means I no longer have my super grepping tool. I’m slowly rewriting it in PHP.

Artisteer

• I no longer have access to Artisteer 3.5
• I run a customized version of Artisteer 4.1
• I tried Artisteer 4.2 but couldn’t make it do what I had done with Artisteer 4.1 so reverted to that.
• But now I’m in the middle of switching to the Genesis Framework

Browsers

I haven’t yet reinstalled Safari and Opera.
