Hi,

Your question depends on your budget. They range from free to reeeeeeeealy expensive.

I use/have used a few of the following each has their good and bad points. Whether it be price or ease of use,

Ivex (Windraft & Winboard - good price, ok functions)

Edwin (All the gadgets a little bit pricey)

PCA (Well thought out program with try before you buy)

Any questions, just ask
Regards
