You are all very wellcome!!!Hope to be useful for all of you too,who try like me to learn more from it! [Big Grin]

I searched few times about such topics,and i find nothing,so i decided to share my long efforts with you,as i`m sure it will be useful!Some programs are just too expensive to buy,so its fair if we help each other for the good idea!!! [Big Grin]

Enjoy!
