Software - These are all great places to search for the latest software
winfiles.com
- strictly for Windows 95 / 98 users!
tucows.com
- try to choose a server in your own country! Probably
the best choice as they keep the files on their own site,rather than providing
a link to the Software company's site !
www.cdrom.com
- Walnut Creek,for the best in OS/2 software!
Graphics Utilities
jasc.com
- Home of PaintShopPro, a very good image handling program.
acdsystems.com
- Home of ACDSee, another image viewer/handler.
firehand.com
- An excellent image cataloguer/viewer.
Offline Browsers
www.tenmax.com
- TeleportPro, must be one of the fastest 32-bit offline browsers available!
Personal Search Engines
www.msw.com.au
- Creators of the 'Wolf' series of search engines.
www.ferretsoft.com
- The 'Ferret' series of search engines, try WebFerret,it's Freeware!
Web-browsers
I've not bothered to list Netscape or Microcraps browsers here because they're huge downloads and you'd probably be better to get them from a magazine cover CD.
However my personal pick of the bunch has to be the latest 32-bit version of Opera Version 7.1o, it's small,fast to load up , there's a shareware version which can be registered to get rid of the adverts.
Try it!
Archivers & Compression utilities
www.winzip.com - The ever essential Winzip.
www.rarlab.com - The home of Winrar,another
excellent archiver/ file compressor,generally achieves higher compression ratios
than Winzip.
Miscellaneous Utilities
www.jasc.com
- Another great program from the home of PaintshopPro is QuickViewPlus, once you've tried it you'll see
why!
www.mvd.com
- The makers of WebExpress,a nice WYSIWYG html editor.
www.xara.com
- Home of Xara3D and XaraWebster, great for making web graphics.
www.ghostsoft.com
- The makers of Ghost, if you're wanting to install a new hard-disk and move
everything on to it WITHOUT re-installing all your soft-ware, this is the program
for you! You can get a fully working (30 day) demo of the latest version
here.
The latest version (6.03) is out now and it's got a far nicer user interface !
A bit bloated now though, that's Symantecs fault :)
Hobbies and Interests
The
anime web-ring - Hentai and Anime Manga, some caution
should be excercised as NOT all the images are as harmless as those below!
My favourite Pussies?
Some handy little downloads - All either Freeware or Public Domain
adclk100.zip
- A little utility for keeping tabs on and automatically adjusting your CMOS
clock.
autocmos.zip
- A read,write and compare utility for your CMOS data,lets you make a back-up
of your CMOS settings AND restore them if they become corrupted. (Stores your
settings as a binary data file)
killcmos32.zip
- A little proggie that will reset your CMOS settings to their default value,
very handy if you've forgotten the password for a password protected CMOS !
mp3writer.zip
- A little program written by my son, David,
which lets you change the "copyright flag" of an mp3 file. It will
run no problem under Win 98, but might need some VB Runtime files to run under
Win 95.
