Data Destroyer
When I was researching data wipe utilities, Data Destroyer impressed me with its great deal of user control and flexibility when selecting how data is overwritten. I was also impressed by the fact that the utility uses unbuffered, direct-to-hardware writes when purging data. After using the product, I'm also impressed with Data Destroyer's flexibility and ease of use. Data Destroyer can produce NSA-level data eradication on anything from a file to a selection of folders. Not only that, but repetitive operations, like removing temporary internet files, can be easily defined and stored away for future use. I find it to be a powerful, intuitive and easy to use utility that I would not hesitate to recommend to friends and other IT colleagues.

The Chinese Calendar
For some time I had been looking for a program the would provide me with both Western and Chinese Lunar and Solar Calendar information, all on one screen page in a graphically simple format, I came across just such a program called Chinese Calendrics. I was more than pleasantly surprised by what I had found. There is so much information on one screen that it is truly mind-blowing, but it is shown in an undaunting manner. This program not only graphically shows the daily phase of the moon, which can be advanced by one minute, right up to 80 years at a time, it also compares the differences on-screen between the Western and the Chinese calendars, and a nice facet of this truly amazing program is that with the touch of a button it will give the date of the next Chinese New Year, along with all the relevant Chinese astrological information. It has completely satisfied my requirements and more. There is so much more to this program that one has to use it to appreciate its true virtue. It is a scholastically mathematical masterpiece of software, however, for all its transparent mathematical complexity it has been designed to be completely user-friendly. Having used this program for some time now, it is easy to use and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who has an interest in both the Western and Chinese calendars.

Prime Factors
As the inventor of Global Numerics, a predictive system attempting to explain why one day is different or similar to the previous or following one, I highly recommend Peter Meyer's Prime Factors. This software, in fact, made its discovery possible. It is an invaluable tool for computing daily prime number sets. No doubt it has other great features for which I have no use, but it is more than adequate for my needs and very affordable. Prime Factors is worthy of serious consideration.

— Wayne Zanker, December 18, 2004
The Chinese Calendar
Many people try to write a program for the Chinese calendar without first really understanding the astronomical rules. The author of this program has done his homework, and the result is impressive.
Since the Chinese calendar is very complex, and this program does not shy away from the details, it may seem overwhelming to a casual user. But if power, accuracy and reliability are important, this is the program for you.
If you are interested in doing careful analysis of the Chinese calendar, for historical, astronomical or astrological purposes, there is no other alternative.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
Hermetic Word Frequency Counter is an excellent tool for dissecting and analyzing a body of text. I am using it to alphabetize all of the words of the Latin Vulgate Bible in hopes of someday producing a lexicon. This program is extremely flexible. It allows you to set custom parameters and word count guidelines. If you wish to exclude certain words or even whole sections of the text from the final count there are numerous ways to set the criteria for doing so. At first, the program had trouble handling the size of the output file when using a 3.31 MB input file (over 3 times larger than the program had been tested with!). Mr. Meyer was very helpful and made revisions to the program so it would fulfill my needs. If all of Hermetic Systems' programs work as well as Word Frequency Counter does then I recommend them all!

— Derek Bonnell, November 12, 2005
Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
An excellent program no writer should be without. Particularly useful to be able to exclude certain words.

— Dr E. Heyderman, December 19, 2005
Prime Factors
I am amazed at the possibilities that Prime Factors offers. Not only can you find primes, prime pairs and prime factors easily, but you can also graph the distribution of the number of prime factors — something I haven`t seen elsewhere. And probably most valuable for research is the ability to filter for primes that fulfil a user-specified formula.

— Dr. Mario Hilgemeier, February 18, 2006
Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
I copied the activation key onto my clipboard, clicked a button in the program and I got a message that the program was fully activated. That function was nicely automated. It's a very handy program and very friendly.

— Hak Hakanson, April 9, 2006
Data Destroyer
I recently needed to use Data Destroyer on two computers that no longer have internet access. I used another computer with email access to obtain the activation keys. I typed the key into a text file, saved it to the clipboard, and clicked on the button in Data Destroyer that said it would obtain the key from the clipboard. Everything worked smoothly. The only caveat I would give is to be sure you type the activation key EXACTLY as it is given to you. Better is to copy it from the email onto a floppy and transfer it to the destination computer. In any case, Hermetic's support was wonderful and quick, and Data Destroyer worked as it should. It is a great product.

Prime Factors
As a cryptographer and author currently working on a complex series of codes designed during the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries I use Hermetic Systems' Prime Factors virtually every day to help analyze numerical occurrences for primes as well as factors which then relate to specific encryptions or to locations where other encryptions are to be found. This software is absolutely invaluable to me and I can honestly say I would be lost without it. I must also compliment Peter Meyer on using very fast factorizing alogorithms. In comparison to other software his program is 'simply the best'.

— Alan Scott, August 7, 2006
Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
As a researcher and cryptographer working on the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, I use Hermetic Systems' Word Frequency Counter for a wide variety of purposes. In analysing words, letters and numbers it gives me an instant view of the documents I am working on and often provides invaluable information regarding anomalies and areas of interest for me to focus on more closely. With regard to the book I am writing, this software produces an absolutely first-class list of all words which can then be used as a concordance for the index. In this regard the program is rock solid and extremely fast. My book currently contains some 200,000 words and Frequency Counter creates the list in just a few minutes. Even if you only use this program a few times per year it is well worth the very small price. In my case I use it daily. The advanced version offers even more features which are very welcome.

— Alan Scott, August 7, 2006
Easy Date Converter
I think this is a must have program for any home computer. It's fast and easy to use, and very accurate. I see no reason why anyone wouldn't want it. I've been using it for years. It's worth every penny.

The Chinese Calendar
Easy Date Converter
Lunar Calendars and Eclipse Finder
My research focuses on the Khmer civilization from Angkorian times to the present. I purchased three Hermetic Systems tools: Easy Date Converter, Lunar Calendars and Chinese Calendrics. Each one is an excellent, well designed, well documented piece of software. They have proven themselves indispensable in my work.
My most recent project is translating the biography of Cambodian dancer, published in French in 1919. Not a single Western calendar date appears in the text. Using the extraordinary Chinese Calendrics program, I was able to pinpoint multiple event dates as the text gives clear descriptions of festivals based on the cycles of the moon and the Chinese zodiac. This small feat enhanced the historical value of the entire text.
In closing I must also praise the excellent technical support provided. The programs are clear and well documented, but I did have a few technical questions. In each case I received a fast, detailed solution.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
The Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced Version software has done a magnificent job. Some of my document collections are enormous. I used it on 13 different sets of data ranging from the smallest with 6,867 ranked words up to the largest document collection which produced 866,570 ranked words from over 100 million word occurrences. The after-sales services was spot-on. I'll be using this program in my future research.

Cryptosystem ME6
I have been using ME6 for several years for encryption of sensitive files. It's straightforward in design and operates quickly on plain text and encrypted data. I particularly like the feature which gives a visual measure of the random appearance of encrypted data, as well as useful checksums. Key use is easy. ME6 leads you through the procedures necessary for either encryption or decryption of file material. It works.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
I found exactly what I needed with the Hermetic Word Frequency Counter software. I write both fiction and non-fiction. Using this program makes it easy for me to improve my writing — to make sure I'm not over-doing it with frequent words or the same adjectives. We all know to check for "very" but what other words am I using too much? Using this program is a huge advantage over "eye-balling" my copy for over-used words. It automates what would be a tedious process otherwise.
Running my copy through the word counter helps me to keep my writing tight and fresh. I prefer using a client application because it is quicker than using a web-based tool. I don't have to worry about my content being "captured" online if I use a free online tool (maybe I'm being paranoid on this point but with this program, I don't have to worry). I like exporting the results into a file. Having a hard copy helps me document my work in progress as I edit my writing. Overall, I have been extremely happy with using the Hermetic Word Frequency Counter software. It's quick and to the point. This program is a great tool I can use that doesn't try to do too much or take over my writing process.

— Frankie Orlando, Freelance Writer, November 5, 2007
Easy Date Converter
While testing the trial version of Easy Date Converter I discovered that the one thing that was sorely needed to make this the most perfect program was missing. I sent a simple inquiry wondering if there were some hidden instructions I did not know about or if there would be some future plans to add the feature I needed. Lo and behold, I got an immediate email telling me that this desired change was quite doable and was asked if I needed the requested change to have an additional function that I had not anticipated. Wow! Are you kidding me? Shortly after purchasing my copy of the Date Converter I soon got another email telling me that the expected change was in the works and that it would be available in a week. It was delivered right on time. I do believe that Hermetic Systems is the GOLD Standard in customer service and performance!

I'm a psycholinguist who examines the effects of various lexical variables on how quickly or accurately people can recognize visually presented words, and have recently been exploring the predictive power of frequency counts based on different corpora, so your program is going to be most useful.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
The software has actually been fantastic ... I have really enjoyed using it. As a former Linguistics graduate student, I know from experience just how difficult it is to find effective language programs. I think this addition of the ability to count phrases will make it even better. Really, thanks for the update to this program. It will be extremely useful in my new research project.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
Translation (especially technical translation) is a fairly repetitive endeavor. Specific terms and expressions may be repeated umpteen times and this fact becomes obvious (tedious also) when the translator gets tired of repeatedly typing the same character strings. The search and replace function of MS Word can help automate it to a certain extent, one expression at a time, as you meet them in your text, unless you have a statistical cast of mind to identify repetitions while skimming through the original.
When I heard about a program called "Useful File Utilities", from www.replsoft.com, and its module "Batch Replacer for MS Word" (doing exactly what its name implies), I began also searching for a possibility to count words in order to decide which ones to "pre-translate" before the translation proper. "Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced" (WFCA) fills the bill.
WFCA works only with text files, so originals have to saved to text-only. Some time is needed to tame the WFCA interface that sports a lot of counting parameters. For my peculiar needs, I distinguish upper/lower case (essential for German words), count words occurring at least three times and load the included list of common words in German to ignore.
WFCA outputs a list (text format) of numbered, tab-separated, words with the number of occurrences (each detail can be parametrized). I import it into Excel and create a glossary, usually customer-specific because each company has its preferred vocabulary, encompassing from twenty to many hundreds of lines. I have also another list of common prepositions. "Batch Replacer for MS Word" accepts the Excel file as a list of search and replace commands. By the way, there are similar Batch Replacer modules for Excel and PowerPoint.
These operations are of course time-consuming, and the resulting document, pre-translated without any linguistic intelligence or regard for the context, may sound like gibberish. But it saves a lot of time for a lengthy original.

I am an American who has lived and worked most of his adult life in Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, India and Afghanistan, I have found that understanding the calendar systems used by these countries is a useful way to add a valuable dimension of understanding the different cultures. Though written for the Chinese calendar, studying the tremendous amount of information contained in and offered by the program allows one to apply his understanding to the various other regional cultures. This is most easily done for the Vietnam calendar of course, but it does not take much study to apply the uses of the program to the lunar calendars used in Thailand, India and even the Moslem cultures found in Afghanistan and Middle East. I use the program frequently.

Data Destroyer
I have used Data Destroyer for a while now ... it's superb at completely removing everything from flash card and pen drives (my usual use). It really does its job. I get information from customers on flash drives that I supply so it's important to obliterate any information before I send the drive out again. I have to say this does the job admirably. Easy to use and depending on the type of clean-up you need quite quick!

I was then able to run the data easily through Excel and since then I've been working hard on analyzing the data. The customer support was excellent and right on target. I used the software so as to do a systematic analysis of the German Language and it could not have been done without the amazing Word Frequency Counter.

I use your program to verify dates of translated inscriptions about lunar observations relating to archaeoastronomy. Recently I used your program to help verify the age and accuracy of several inscriptions relating to famous and other lesser known historical personages. It is a fabulous and extremely accurate time-saver for having to calculate everything by hand. I especially like the ability in your program to determine the Julian Date for the beginning of each Chinese Lunar Year. This helps me calculate some of the more esoteric elements of Chinese, Hermetic and Uranian systems with greater precision.

As both a professional IT Manager and an application developer I constantly find myself needing mental stimulation. I use mathematics as a way to quench that thirst, yet spending hours and hours in an Excel grid to calculate factors in a way that was visually understandable was defeating.

I have successfully used the advanced version of this software on some very large scientific journal articles in a research capacity.

Prime Factors
Prime Factors is fantastically useful and very entertaining software, especially if you're into prime numbers! Identifying prime numbers and counting the number of them in any range is child's play and the factorizing is lightning fast! Identifying twin primes and counting the number of them in any range is also incredibly easy! Perhaps future updates of the software would make other prime constellations as easily searchable! And an increased absolute range would also be icing on the cake! I recommend this software wholeheartedly! Enjoy!

I'm able to create a calender of lunar events for years to come that helps me program my work schedule of lunar celebrations as well as for personal & garden rhythmic cycles. I'm very happy with this software & always take it with me when I upgrade my computer.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
I am a novelist and I needed your Word Frequency Counter to explore the use of words in my new novel. At first I simply ran your program on my MS Word .doc file and expected it to work, but it did not. After I discovered that I had first to save my .doc file as plain text I then found that the software is incredibly fast. My novel has over 100,000 words and the software took only about two minutes to make a long list of all different words — some 8,000. I was able to create an output file and read it into Excel, where I could work with the results as I needed. I have been able to remove some too-oft-repeated phrases and words from my novel, and a few over-used adverbs. Coupled with the MS Word word-finder, it works as well as I'd hoped it would.

I tried many programs, including applications that run from the desktop, and online web pages, but none of these could handle the number of phrases I had to analyze. The Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced Version was able to process all of my files very quickly, and had the added bonus of putting them in a format I could use with Excel. This program has saved me countless hours.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced Version is the best tool I have found for creating ngrams on a Windows platform. The UI gives all the control you need for setting very precise parameters, and the absence of any size limit on the number of input files and the size of the output file allow for working with very large document samples. Hermetic Systems' product support is also excellent — among the best I have come across.

— Peter Schmitt, February 5, 2015
Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
The Advanced Version has proved extremely useful for us at the Japanese American National Library in San Francisco. Your program enables us to efficiently pull phrases from each text in the collection to enter them as keywords to create a keyword searchable library catalog. This requires some light editing to reduce the overall size of the keyword database. Although this method of generating keywords is not as complete as reading the entire work and doing it manually, it does pull out a significant number of keywords efficiently. Doing it manually is way too costly in time and energy. The most important feature of WFCA for this purpose is the ability to list all phrases.

— Ben Kobashigawa, March 5, 2015

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced Version is a valuable program for any writer. I have been using it for awhile and find it indispensable. Find your overused words and expressions. It's easy to ask your word processor to search for "very" and "okay", but what about phrases such as "he cleared his throat" or "she tossed her hair"? Even reading your text out loud doesn't work as well as WFCA. This software will ferret out your personal weaknesses and help you compose stronger copy.

Equinoxes, Solstices and Cross-Quarter Days
Lunar Calendars and Eclipse Finder
I study ancient near east history to reconcile datable historic events with Bible passages. This often entails ascertaining the dates of New Moons, Full Moons, Vernal Equinoxes, Lunar and Solar eclipses. I have been using Hermetic's Lunar Calendar and Eclipse Finder (LCEF) and Equinoxes, Solstices and Cross-Quarter Days (EqSol) products since 2013.
My analysis typically entails using the Fourmilab calendar converter to convert ancient Hebrew dates into Julian Days, and then input those Julian Days into LCEF to obtain a confirmation of the Julian Calendar Date, and then calculate proximate dates for Dark and Full Moons. I use the Julian calendar year as input into EqSol to obtain the vernal equinox Julian Calendar date and time, which can then be pasted directly into LCEF to obtain the Julian Day and phases of the moon.
As Dark Moons are not visible, LCEF also provides a date increment/decrement facility which allows me to step by minute or hour from Dark Moon to some humanly visible phase of a New Moon crescent, and then readout the corresponding Julian Calendar date and time.
Both LCEF and EqSol provide a log of conversion results which can be copied and saved for later referral and checking without having to rerun the conversions. This greatly helps being able to reconfirm at a later time how various results were obtained.
Both LCEF and EqSol have always executed without error, and the results compare closely with tables of Lunar and Solar events published by NASA, the US Naval Observatory, and Fourmilab, but further, LCEF and EqSol allow me to compute more details of additional events not computed by NASA or the USNO.
LCEF and EqSol are indispensable tools that ensure the accuracy of my research.

If interested in reliable quick conversion from Gregorian to Julian and Dee-Cecil calendar dates with vernal equinoxes this is the tool to use. Adding/subtracting years, months, weeks and days work like a charm. The 'Julian day number' and 'day of the week' feature make this program a handy asset for all calendar enthusiasts. The online user manual gives a good in-depth overview of all features.

The Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced Version was a fundamental tool for my thesis in Information Science. My thesis was about interdisciplinarity between Information Science and Physics. This is a special case of interdisciplinarity because, in a map of science, these two disciplines are far apart. So the classical methods of measuring interdisciplinarity weren't appropriate to this case. I discovered that it was possible to measure the intensity of this kind of interdisciplinarity by counting words! That was where WFCA helped me so much. It was fundamental for getting lots of reliable data in a fast and easy way.

The Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced Version (WFCA) fills a great need in software for Windows computers. As a translator working with different languages, I try to avoid over-using the same words so as to improve readability of the target text, and WFCA makes this possible. It would be impossible to do this task without WFCA. I also use it to check whether numerals in the text are consistent. It is extremely versatile and can be customized in myriads of ways, but it is still very easy to use. I think WFCA should be an essential part of every translator's software suite.

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter
I have been using the Hermetic Word Frequency Counter for several years as a tool for the construction of glossaries and frequency dictionaries of foreign languages (primarily German). The foreign language document is first broken into sections (or chapters) and the glossary for any given section is created by using the text of that section as the Input File and the combined text of all previous sections as the Common Words File. The Output Files provide (along with translation) glossaries for the new words contributed by each section. The final Common Words File (which must now include the text for the final section) when used as an Input File provides the list of words for the frequency dictionary of the entire document. This program is an excellent tool — stable and easy to use with a useful selection of output formats. I only wish it could accept Cyrillic text.
