==[http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/fr/site.htm Notepad++]==
Advanced features such as per language highlighter and regular expression search
<pre>
Based on a powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API
and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many
routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon
dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption,
resulting in a greener environment.

This project is mature. However, there may be still some bugs and missing features that are being
worked on. If you have any questions or suggestions about this project, please post them in the
forums. Also, if you wish to make a feature request, you can post it there as well. But there's no
guarantee that I'll implement your request.

You're encouraged to translate Notepad++ into your native tongue if there's not already a translation
present in the Download Section. And if you want, help translating Notepad++ official site into your
native tongue would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you enjoy Notepad++ as much as I enjoy coding it.

<pre>
IZArc is a compression / decompression and french free (freeware) similar to Winzip and winrar.

==[http://windirstat.info/ WinDirStat]==
<pre>
WinDirStat reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views:

The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size,
The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away,
The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.

==[http://www.cygwin.com/ CygWin]===
For the one among us that are used to have all those linux utilities as grep, this is a must have for
the windows platform.
<pre>
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API
functionality.
A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86 32 bit and 64 bit versions
of Windows, with the exception of Windows CE.

Note that the official support for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me will be discontinued with
the next major version (1.7.0) of Cygwin, which is in beta testing right now.

What Isn't Cygwin?
Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from
source if you want it to run on Windows.
Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX ® functionality, like
signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of
Cygwin functionality.
</pre>

=Source Control=

"Better be safe than sorry."

==[http://subversion.tigris.org/ SVN]==
This open source version control software is cross platform and have a plethora of client for most main stream OS. I highly recommend [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ tortoise] as a primary windows client.

==[http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazzar]==
Similar to turtoiseSVN (see above) for the client.
<pre>
Bazaar runs on Windows, GNU/Linux, UNIX and Mac OS, and requires only Python 2.4. If you can run
Python, you can run Bazaar! It is an official GNU project, licensed under the GPLv2 or later, at your
option.
</pre>
