Time to praise Agent Ransack again: I just extracted the Pantone colors from an EPS file, and the printer said they were correct.
I'm sure lots of other search tools could do the same, but Agent Ransack was fast and easy.

I used Copernic for a while in the Aughts, and I think Ransack's better. It works on network drives just fine, and it hasn't missed any files yet.

Any thoughts on which is better? I have the paid version of Copernic, which allows me to index network drives as well as local drives. The searching seems to work well, but I have occasional doubts about files I *
*should** be able to find but seemingly can't.
