Truly GREAT Freeware/Shareware


I recommend this Free/Shareware to everybody. Why?
Because I use it MYSELF and it's GOOD!

Clicking the file names will do either (1) take you to the developers home page so you can get the most recent version or (2) start a FTP session locally. Applications with screen shots are indicated with rolling red bullets. Click the bullet to see the screen shot.

ICQ
Internet paging, chatting, messaging and a whole LOT more. Extremely popular and EASY to use. Even allows for Inet Phone connections. Not enough time to discuss ALL the features here.
WS_FTP
Simply one of the BEST free FTP programs on the internet. So simple and easy to use too.
NetLab
A collection of interenet utilities like finger, DNS, trace, and more. Includes a socket analyser... what else could you ask for? Oh you want it for free, well guess what, it is!!
Pirch
An IRC Client thats easy and fun to use if you are intimidated by the complexities of mIRC this IRC is for you.
MS Netmeeting
Communicate over the internet by 'net phone', white board or other means of collaberation or just plain fun. Many servers to choose from.

Anonymous e-Mail
Ever want to send that HATE MAIL but didn't want to be identified. This little goodie can ,and will, help but it isn't as intutitive as it should be. But I have faith in your ability to figure it out. It's NOT that hard.
Capture
Offers a Variety of ways to capture images from your screen. It was the 1st step in my creation of EVERY screen shot for this page. (in my startup folder)
Paintshop Pro
The most popular and best shareware imaging program around. It's browse feature is worth a mint to me. I use it all the time to pick backgrounds. Many, many other useful features, to many to list.
Blanch
Application launch pad you just can't do without. Simple, powerful, configurable replacement for your START button. Possibly my personal favorite.. (maybe)
Clipmate
I never thought I'd use a clipboard utility but this thing taught me how powerful and useful the clipboard can be. It's in my startup folder (with blanch)
Almanac
PIM with one unique Outstanding feature, overlays. Combine them with sched., todo list, and calander, well it is just great. That's why I registered mine. (in my startup folder)
Net Vampire
Very easy and powerful FTP application for schedeuling downloads. Will restart where it left off if necessary and retries the number of times you set in the options.
News Express
A very good News Reader - and its free!
ref003
Netscape
What can I say? My personal choice and starting with version 5 the source code will be released too!! (thank you Linux OS)
Smart Draw
Flow Charts, Organizational Charts, Maps, these are just SOME of the things you can do with this application. I love it.
EditPad
Multi-document Text Editor that is very good. I either use this or NoteTab for ALL my Text editing needs. Lots of features.
NoteTab
Very similar to Editpad. Actual application name is SuperNote Tab.
Contact Book
Very small, easy to use, convient, address book. Nothing spectacular but quite nice and its free.
EMC_CD
Quite nice CD player. Many functions and features and doesn't take up all your screen space just to play the CD.
Winzip
What can I say about it that you don't ALREADY know. If you're NOT using it, get it!!
Password Keeper
Neat, well done, password keeper... Nice place to secure all your different passwords so you can find them if you forget them. I actually prefer this over Whisper but I actually use both. One as a backup <g>!!
Drag 'n File
Replaces Win95 Filemanager. Sorta twitchie at times but still well worth the few bucks to register. I did!!
ref004
X-Setup
Access system settings and change them to your hearts content. Uses tabs to access the register values etc... I use it quite often!
Wintrasher Pro
Another X-Setup only it is my preference of the two. Offers more areas to access.
File Fission
Put LARGE file onto as many floppy's as it takes. Take floppy's to another PC that doesn't have 'FILE FISSION' and still restore the file from all the disks. Handy little wizard interface application.
Rename It
Amazing application that renames files very fast, efficent and if your NOT careful when checking the options you just might create more work for yourself than you saved!! <g>
Whisper
Another password keeping application. Different approach than Password Keeper but works very well
GifClean (for bob)
Strips all the unnecessary junk from a gif image making it smaller and more efficent.
