| ACCESS 1.2c | Some of us rely heavily on the mouse and ignore
keyboard controls when creating documents because it can be difficult to
remember the allocation of keys, which varies from one program to another.
Accelerator and Shortcut Show - ACCESS - monitors the programs you are
using, provides you with the relevant keyboard shortcut menu on your
screen, allowing you to edit it if you so wish. http://www.thinkred.com/ |

| ADFilelist | Create a text list of selected file names. A very useful little tool that saves a lot of time if you have to include a list of the files contained in a directory (folder) in an overview document, for example, or if you want to check, after making a change of one kind or another, to see what files have been added to a folder by comparing a 'before' Filelist with an 'after' one. Unfortunately, this software does not appear on Avlan Design's website - the only freeware advertised there recently has been their AVD Geometrical calculator... avlandesign.com/ | ||

| ArtPlus EasyNoter 3.7 | EasyNoter is a simple to use Personal Info
Manager (PIM).
It can be used at work to keep your business information organized, or at
home as your personal diary. The program includes a Photo Album section
and, once you have completed the free registration, you can alter the look
of the cover to suit yourself. Speaking as the proud owner of the Pro
version, this is one product that was definitely worth upgrading to - try
the freeware version and you'll see what I mean! http://www.artplus.hr |

| CWordPad 3.0 | Cetus CWordPad is an excellent word processing tool, an improved alternative to Windows Word Pad
with, amongst other things, spell checking and a thesaurus! As this application is no longer
being formally distributed, there is no support available for it but we
found no reason to need any in a domestic environment. There are various
other freeware programs available on the site, too. cetussoft.com/freeware.htm |

| Easy Office | This is a comprehensive office suite for anyone
who wants to achieve an end result without having to become a computer
expert, or who finds most office programs stuffy and dull. The
installation process is something of a whirlwind affair, so read our notes
unless you like surprises! An excellent application if you prefer to use
fewer programs with more functions rather than individual applications for
each task. http://www.e-press.com |

| PhoneDeck 1.15 | To quote the author "PhoneDeck is a
flexible, lightweight phonebook and address book program... is not meant
to replace a large PIM-type application...is designed for personal use...has
a configurable interface, and provides many ways of viewing, finding and
editing addresses, so that you can choose the way that suits you most".
Everything that PhoneDeck is capable of can be done with the keyboard, so
you don't always have to use the mouse." We use it all the time -
it's great! Incidentally, Marek Jedlinski, the author, has changed his
address since creating this software and can now be contacted at marekjed@
