R10Clean Lite Released
R10Clean Lite is the same program as the full edition but features a restriction of 10000 rows only. It is priced at £20, compared to the full edition at £50.
There is no seperate download, the differentiation is made with your license key.
R10Clean Lite is available now - Version 2.0.2. Another edition to 2.0.2 is the ability to save only the selected rows of your grid. This is done by selecting the SRO checkbox.

Excellent R10Clean Review on Version Tracker
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10908056
I’m going to repeat the contents here anyway, because - well just *because*
‘R10Clean goes from strength to strength.
If you are engaged in audit or preliminary research of medical, biological, psychological, social, nursing or paramedical data, especially with yes, no, may-be type responses (and other types of nominal data), do yourself a favour and try this software.
It is simple but very powerful.
Before your tear your hair out on excel, SPSS and the like, you may find that the analysis is much easier after using R10Clean.
The developer is very resonsive to user feedback.
The recent addition of count occurrances can eliminate at one stroke the need to struggle with VCount and CountIF (or similar) in Excel or to have to do this manually.’
Now that’s a *great* review. Cheers

R10Clean Beta 1.9.7 Available for Download
www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip
This is a considerable update. The new features since the last Beta are as follows:
Support has been added for several popular string encodings including:
- MacRoman
- UTF8
- UTF16
- MacCentralEurRoman
- Windows ANSI
- ASCII
New Task: Remove Punctuation from End of Column ? ! . ; : ,
New Task: Find Empty Strings
New Task: Pad Left / Align Right
New Task: Pad Right / Align Left
New Task: Pad Both / Align Centre
For string padding you can specify your preferred character within the Preferences. Usually you will be padding with a space character, I should imagine, but who knows ?
New Task: Count Occurences
This particular task was suggested by one of my early users, know only as VG! This task will count the occurences of a particular numeric or alphanumeric value within the selected rows / columns. I am told this is important in several areas of science and research.
Please let me have your feedback on this new version.

R10Clean Beta 1.9.55 Available for Download
www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip
This version has the following enhancements:
Progress Bar and Counter X of XXX when checking for duplicates.
The duplicate finding code is now multi threaded to allow the UI to function and update during these processes.
I intend to make each of the ‘tasks’ multi threaded with appropriate counters and progress bar before release of Version 2. The finding of duplicates works well - but is currently relatively slow when dealing with tens of thousands of rows. I will be looking at this also before the release of Version 2.
Version 2 will have an increase in price. Some of the new features I have in mind (and have not yet discussed publicly) push the product more towards a corporate purchase which means the price has to be increased in order to appear as a creditable product. This has the effect of increasing my revenue and also helping fund further development of the product. However all licensed users of Version 1 will get a free upgrade to Version 2 when it is released in a couple of weeks or so.
I will also be creating a new website for R10Clean, the domain name is setup and ready to roll

www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip
The only change in this version is the addition of ‘Zero Effort Corporate Licensing’. Effectively this allows you to create a text file with your license details embedded and distribute this around your corporation with the application. The text file will be read at program startup and the software automatically licensed on that computer.
For this to work the file must be named: R10Clean_License.ini and be placed in the R10Clean folder with the application.
The contents of the file must look like this, obviously using your own license details instead

R10Clean V2 Public Beta
Beta 1.9.3 can be downloaded here: www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cleanbeta.zip
So far the changes that have been made to this version over the current release are as follows:

08/02/09 Multiple Save Buttons replaced with Radio Buttons
10/02/09 The first Grid Column is now a Row Number
11/02/09 Show Duplicates Task Added
Version 2 will mainly be focusing on adding new tasks and functionality. So far the only additional task is the ‘Show Duplicates’ task. This has been asked for several times. Once you have executed this task, if you wish to delete the selected duplicates you can use the ‘Remove Selected Rows’ task. Feedback on this new feature is welcomed.

Encrypting and Decrypting Files with R10Cipher
Encrypting Files and Documents
Double Click R10Cipher to launch the software. You will see the R10Cipher main screen. The Windows XP Version is shown below with the Drag and Drop Encryption Area highlighted:
Enter your Shared Secret (this is your encryption key) into the area at the bottom left of the screen. This can be between 4 and 16 characters. For example: yuetrtytpl*565r0.
Drag one of more files into the Drag and Drop Encryption Area (highlighted above). Press the Batch button to the right of the list of files.
The encrypted files will be saved to your desktop with the same filenames as the originals but with the file extension .r10Enc.

All you have to do is enter the Shared Secret and the file will be decrypted and saved on your Desktop with the same name as the original, pre-encrypted file.
NOTE: Before you use this feature for the first time you may need to associate the R10Enc files with the R10Cipher Software. How you do this depends on your Operating System. We have instructions in the Manual Addendum for Mac OSX and Windows XP.

R10Cipher vs TrueCrypt
The goals of R10Cipher are as follows:
1. Provide a simple to use method of creating encrypted email messages.
2. Provide a simple to use method of encrypting and decrypting individual files and documents.
By focusing on the above two goals R10Cipher is designed specifically for use between two parties who are likely to be transferring private or sensitive information. R10Cipher is the complete ‘end to end’ encryption solution.
R10Cipher is not free, the price however is designed to be attractive given the advantages of R10Cipher over the alternatives. It has to be said that using some sort of encryption when passing sensitive information is now necessary and essential.
Initially this document was going to cover several alternatives, when it comes to Cross Platform alternatives however there is not a lot of choice and the only one of note is TrueCrypt.
By ‘Cross Platform’ what I mean is software that can be used on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OSX and Linux. If you wish to communicate securely then you need a solution that will run on your operating system as well as the operating system used by your clients, you have no control over what their choice of operating system is.
TrueCrypt http://www.truecrypt.org
TrueCrypt is designed to create an encrypted ‘volume’ that can then be accessed from either your Windows or Macintosh computer, using the appropriate password, assuming you have TrueCrypt installed. As a method of creating and maintaining an encrypted volume of information TrueCrypt is excellent. It is however designed for an entirely different purpose to R10Cipher.
Think of the hard disk on your computer. Imagine another hard disk into which you can store information which is then automatically encrypted. Imagine being able to drag that hard disk onto a USB key and take it with you and load it onto another computer. That is effectively what TrueCrypt does.
Compare this to R10Cipher. R10Cipher allows you to encrypt and decrypt the contents of an email or text document. R10Cipher allows you to encrypt a single file that can then be sent over email or copied around the network. A very different proposition to TrueCrypt.
It’s also worth looking at ease of use. R10Cipher requires no installation. TrueCrypt needs a lengthy installation and setup. Who is going to support your clients through this installation ? If in doubt it is worth doing the exercise and seeing for yourself. As a solution to use between yourself and external clients, TrueCrypt cannot be recommended. It is just not designed for that purpose.
Of course as the author and designer of R10Cipher I am biased. Therefore I recommend you try both R10Cipher and TrueCrypt. R10Cipher can be downloaded for a free trial from this address:

http://www.artenscience.com/autoupdate/latestversions/r10cipherv2_beta.zip
This is probably the final beta before we release the product, subject to no showstoppers being found !
1.9.7 includes the ability to encrypt multiple files by dragging and dropping them on the ‘Encryption Area’. To process them press the ‘Batch’ button. To remove a file that has been accidentally included, double click the filename.
Any feedback much appreciated.
I’ll be working on the help file and manual now prior to release, hopefully later in the week.
