Added a note about films because I watched that Sintel short film created with Blender, which was in some areas even better than the work Pixar and Dreamworks are putting out commercially.

Well this has been here a very long time, this program has worked fine for my uses.I was looking for an older version from the website I found in Japanese, the problem was many of the Japanese words are spelled wrong which changes the meaning. :D

Useful small footprint PDF splitting tool.

Only would wish for slightly more specific changelogs, beside the usual, non-descript
"fixed some bugs"...;-)

@Ennovy I do not appreciate your sniping at me. The fact is that I have zero rank and cannot update entries.
So, as my input — or the lack of — is so bothersome, I intend to delete all my posts and be gone.

Ennovy on 2023-09-26 00:26

@pendrive: It was just a friendly question, I did't mean to offend you in any way

@Pendrive: please don't. Your input is highly appreciated. Would you consider improving your rank by participating in forum discussions, for instance?
