I'd appreciate if you could add SCP's DaylightRIP (www.scp.de) and reprocontrol.net (www.reprocontrol.net) to the list of the "not so free" viewers. Both are commercial applications for viewing, printing, converting and plotmanagement.

Both of those products look like applications that function only within a hardware/software system, similar to Oce Repro Desk (which is not in the list either). I'll leave your comment though.

Hello
I use SPLOT for years and like it very much. It offers very useful functions in trimming, zoom, plot, measuring, size calculation, batch functions, Explorer tools and a very fine handling of HP-RTL data (this is where some other viewers have a lot of problems).
