I've seen and used nirsoft products for years, never realized his name was Nir Sofer. What a great name for a software developer.

The NirSoft tools for windows are great! I have used various ones for years -- the SysExporter tool has saved many many hours of time. This lets you export Windows widget labels, so if a dialog has no export, it lets you generate a CSV of the string values.

Nir Sofer -- publish a Bitcoin address and ill send you something as a thank you!

Nir is his first name, Sofer last, which in Hebrew means “writer” (as in scripture etc.)

> While many software companies create a bloated installation package with size of 1 - 3 MB, the size of single utility in NirSoft is usually less than 100KB.

The early 2000s were a different time. While as modern day electron apps are regularly 100+ MB.

I use the nirSoft CSVFileView utility all of the time. The near instantaneous load time is how computing should be.

The article is from 2008 so maybe a (2008) should be added.

Like many of you who commented I used the nirsoft tools without knowing they were created by one man. Kind of impressive there was a time when you only found niersoft tools when searching for password recovery tools
