RHINO 32
___________________________________________________________
Rhinoceros or "Rhino" is a conceptual design and modeling
tool for industrial, product, and scene designers. Whether you
build heart valves or ship hulls, packaging or gears, Rhino is
an easy-to-learn-and-use, flexible, and accurate modeler. You
can create, edit, and render any combination of freeform
curves, surfaces, and solids. You can then export your model
to down stream processes. Rhino objects are smooth NURBS
(non-uniform rational B-splines) curves and surfaces rather
than line segments or polygon meshes. Rhino brings the full
power of the AGLib NURBS modeling technology to
Windows for the first time. Rhino's robust spline-based
models can be used in most rendering and animation
products, including 3D Studio MAX, Softimage, and
LightWave 3D.

CLIPMATE 4.2.0
___________________________________________________________
An answer to the age-old question: Isn't there a better way to
cut and paste in Windows?The native clipboad in Windows is
great for cutting and pasting a single item at a time, but
if you want to move a series of items, or save items for
later use, then you need ClipMate! ClipMate enhances the
native clipboard functionality by remembering all items
(both text and graphic) that are copied to the clipboard
and storing them in "collections" for later pasting into
other applications. Powerful tools enable users to retrieve,
append, print, reformat, and edit data. An exclusive
PowerPaste feature puts ClipMate in "rapid fire" mode,
allowing quick pasting of a series of items into an
application. With ClipMate as a Windows companion,
users will never accidentally lose a piece of clipboard
data again.
