Latest update 2000-06-28.
This list only contains freeware/shareware (or similar), not retail software. It does not list tagline managers.
FREQ locations and Internet URLs given are for the main distribution site if such is known to me. Additions are welcome.
Many of the programs are available at http://www.snowcave.com/ and at http://cereal.mv.com/cereal/BLUEWAVE (FREQ at 1:132/152). Many of the readers are available at http://www.kannoncom.com/~jhanoian/readers/ which also maintains a list of QWK software.
A minus in the Y column indicates that there are known year 2000 issues with this product.

This list is collected, updated and posted regularly by Peter Karlsson at 2:210/45.0. All questions and suggestions regarding this list ARE to be sent via netmail to this address (except for questions on where to find the programs, on which I normally can't help). Additions and corrections are welcomed. Since I have studies to think of, I will not always have time to look for new products, so I welcome all additions.
