Note: The Internet changes on a daily basis. If you come across a link on this page that does not work, that has packed up and left the Net, or that has simply been changed, please contact us. It would be especially helpful if you would include all of the pertinent information. ALSO: if you know of a tool that is not on this page, but should be, please let me know and I will investigate and possibly add it. [Updated April, 2009]
