Specific File Downloads
OpenOffice.org You can download a whole office suite for free. OpenOffice.org offers a set of office applications similar to the "Office" suite that we are all familiar with, but its free for the asking. You get a word processor, a spreadsheet program, a presentation program, a drawing program, and more.The files are generally compatible with the other "Office" applications.
2xExplorer You know that Microsoft Explorer has lots of features, but you wish you could have two file list areas so that it is easier to work in two folders at once. 2xExplorer does it! A nice look and feel; plus great tools for copy, move, and a built in text editor that will open anything in plain text or hexadecimal values.
Editor2 Editor2 is the same excellent text editor that comes as part of 2xExplorer, but it's available as a separate program. (I still also use Programmer's File Editor.)
Cupertino For a FREE ftp client, Cupertino can't be beat. No nags, just honest free-ware. Although the author seems to have abandoned this nice little program, I use it every week to update my site. For a free program, this is very good.
For a FREE compression program, and ftp client; try ZipGenius. No nags, just honest free-ware.
I collect a lot of graphics. So much in fact, that I loose them. I am constantly looking at my graphics files to see if I already have what I need for this project or that. I have come to rely on the ACDSee graphic viewer. This won't give you any editing capability, it's just a fast and easy to use viewer. Rather than tie up your computer trying to display all your graphics at once, ACDSee will let you flip through your pictures one at a time. You can view full size, or reduced. ACDSee even includes a very handy move/copy file utility. This is available in a 16 bit version for Windows 3.1, and a 32 bit version for Windows 95, and 98. This is Shareware. Use it free for a limited time, then pay the registration fee.
ACDSee Home Page
AOLpress 2.0 A good "what you see is what you get" editor to help you get started. Most of my pages at least start in AOLpress. There is no official support for this any  more, their web site is closed down. AOLpress doesn't support Cascaded Style Sheets or Java scripts , and in fact may identify your scripts as errors in html and try to correct them. AOLpress only shows the first frame of an animated gif; but when viewing the page with a browser, the gif will be animated. AOLpress has a built in spell checker, and the tools you need to make image maps. AOLpress makes it easy to create tables, insert graphics, make links, even make pages with frames. Everything is done with menus and tool buttons. It includes a tool for viewing and editing the html code directly within AOLpress. You can go back and forth between "what you see is what you get" mode and the code editor at any time. It saves your work as HTML, not some special proprietary format. All in all it's pretty good for straight HTML.
This is a large download, 3.5 Megabyte 32 bit only, for Windows 95 & 98.

Bejeweled Bejeweled is a fun shareware game. You can plat it one hundred times for free, then it will cost you twenty bucks. This is a lot of fun. Move jewels to adjacent squares to make three or more in a row, then that string disappears while new jewels move into place. You are not playing against a clock. As you clear jewels from the board, you gain  points.
You can download this game at Pop Cap Games
or you can play on-line at MSN Gaming Zone
Crystal Tetris This Tetris is a freeware version of the well known game. Easy to play, simple, easy on the eyes. Program provided as a promotional item by Crystal Office Systems and given away free. Crystal Tetris
