Nano 2.5.1

A simple text editor resembling a command prompt layout, as well as different functions to read and write under various file formats

Text editors are amongst the first living proof that convinced everyone a computer holds a lot of potential. Nowadays, these can be found to suit any need, come in different styles, with free or paid licenses. Amongst the basic types, Nano gives you the means to write down notes or text strings of interest and save under different formats.

Can be used on the go

Probably the application's only advantage is portability. From the moment you finished downloading it, you can leave it stored on a USB Flash drive to use on the go if it tickles your fancy. With minimum impact on system resources and registries, it's sure to come in handy for quickly taking notes.

Since it's a text editor, disappointment starts to slowly make its presence noticeable through the interface that resembles an instance of command prompt. It actually is, reducing all your effort to working with the keyboard through text and corresponding commands for different functions.

Shallow features and difficult to use

All operations you can performed are enlisted at the bottom, one of which fills the screen with helpful documentation. The set is rather poor, with options to open or save files, copy, cut and paste, justify or jump to a specific line. Although mostly guided, the whole experience can take a lot of getting used to.

You can forget all about character formatting or text arrangement. There are no options in this regard, with post processing requiring you to use other tools, thus putting the whole practicality under the question mark. More frustration is created by the fixed window size that makes it difficult to view large documents, especially with no mouse support for scrolling.

A few last words

To sum it up, Nano is a simple text editor that just seems to be caught in the wrong era. It's a little more than just writing letters in a command prompt environment but it's difficult to manage for handling text, with no mouse support and ambiguous to sometimes frustrating methods of managing content. There's also no support for programming, or at least syntax highlighting, further dragging down practicality to the point of no return.

Convert XLS 10.12

A simple-to-use application that packs numerous options for converting Microsoft Excel files (XLS format), with support for task scheduling

Convert XLS is a feature-rich application which facilitates the conversion of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (XLS format) and CSVs to other items, such as CSV, TXT, HTML or XLSM, while putting emphasis on numerous configuration methods.

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure, you are greeted by a standard window with a well-organized layout, where you can get started by selecting the action to take, between file conversion and special processing.

The latter option lets you copy specific data from sheets, change cell contents, add new sheets, replace characters, remove control characters, and many more.

Loading Excel files into the workspace is done using either the file browser or folder view ("drag and drop" is not supported). Batch processing is allowed, so you can convert as many files as you want. Once you establish the output directory, you can initialize the conversion operation.

In addition, you can view log details, save the conversion job for further modifications or schedule one, as well as convert items to a fixed-width text file.

As far as conversion options go, you can convert values or include formulas as well, specify a sheet range and skip empty worksheets, input passwords if necessary, use double quotes and a custom XML format, and others.

Convert XLS is low-demanding when it comes to the CPU and system memory, thus it doesn't interfere with the runtime of other active processes. It is very responsive to commands, carries out conversion jobs rapidly, and delivers quality results. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests, and the program did not hang or crash. However, Convert XLS needs some improvements in the visual department of the GUI.
