What are your TOP FREEWARE Programs

CPC464 · 06 August 2002, 17:45

I was reading this link: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4344 and there was URL's to 2 programs

1. AbiWord
2. Open Office

I was interested to know if anyone else had come accross some GREAT freeware and if so what it was ??

I know there is alot of FREEWARE around but to be honest some is not so good.

So I thought I would ask what you think the TOP FREEWARE Programs are.

The Gimp - the best image editing & creating program ever

blackcornflake · 06 August 2002, 22:49

Amiga stuff:

BootManager
Env-Handler
Image2Icon
JoyTest (mailware)
RndWbPix (emailware)
SysSpeed
WBReboot (emailware)
WBWelcome (written with help from the author of Crazy Eights, the one game that sneaks into my little list...

)

@Frog: PPaint is freeware now? Wow! Didn't know that.

Frog · 06 August 2002, 23:35

@blackcornflakes : You can find PPaint7.1b on aminet !
You can also find Colortype (font editor who looks like PPaint) on aminet.
CloanTo decide to upload this 2 tools in full version on aminet

blackcornflake · 07 August 2002, 14:56

Thanks for the info, Frog, but I already have that very version of PPaint, from a way back. The font editor I did not have, though...

Attention all peeps! If you have never heard of P(ersonal) Paint, try it! It makes DPaint look really shabby. IMO.

Proper gfx card support, wide variety of file formats, cool convolution operations, ARexx scripts, better animation, true 24-bit printing and other nice features.

Jambo · 07 August 2002, 14:58

I think DPaint is better

Incomparabile · 07 August 2002, 21:39

-SmartFTP
-Ad Aware
-Winamp
-Rambooster (this really change the way your PC runs)
