FILHTMLDOC v1.8.23 [2.5M] Win9x/2k/XP FREE

Create indexed files–Turn a Web site with lots of articles and content into an indexed PDF book. I found an online book in HTML and added each page into HTMLDOC, adjusted the options, and the output was a PDF file with a table of contents page as well as an index on the left side of Acrobat. The results won’t have a Web site’s design with colors and all. The output file can be HTML, PS (postscript), or PDF and the options change based on the selections. You can view the HTML (http://www.lockergnome.com/ebooks/htmldoc.html) and the PDF (http://www.lockergnome.com/ebooks/htmldoc.pdf) versions of the output. Not perfect, but a handy program.

Ghost-It!
Freeware
Win2k/XP only

http://home.rochester.rr.com/artcfox/GhostIt/index.html

Ghost-It! is a program that runs in the system tray, and lets you
turn windows into “ghost” windows.

Ghost windows are very special windows. First of all, a ghost
window is translucent, meaning you can see through it to whatever
is underneath. Secondly, a ghost window will always appear on top
of other windows. Thirdly, when a ghost window loses the input
focus, it remains translucent and always on top, but all clicks
will pass right through it like it wasn’t even there=97until it
becomes the active window again.

Double-clicking its tray icon (a ghost) will turn the mouse
cursor into a ghost. If you then left-click on a window with the
ghost cursor, it will turn that window into a ghost window.
Right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting Un-Ghost will turn
the mouse cursor into a ghost with a slash through it. If you
then left-click on a ghost window with this cursor, it will turn
that window back into a normal window. Selecting Un-Ghost All
from the tray menu will automatically un-ghost all ghosted
windows. Exiting the program will automatically un-ghost all
ghosted windows.

Local Website Archive

http://aignes.com/lwa.htm

Local Website Archive allows you to quickly save and archive a complete (single) Web page with all images for later reference. You can organize your archived pages into categories and use the built-in browser display to view them offline. In addition, you can search through all your saved pages by keyword, and also export all or selected items to a self-extracting executable that can be used to send your collections to a friend, or to transfer them to a different computer. The program integrates with Internet Explorer and allows you to save the current page from the IE right-click menu or with a click on the newly added toolbar button. Very handy, but unfortunately does not work with browsers other than IE (for example Avant or MyIE). [SnapFiles]
