Shareware and Freeware

This page is devoted to sites providing Shareware and Freeware for download.

Shareware is provided on a try before you buy basis, you download the program and use it for a specified time and then you should either pay for it or delete it from your system, some programs have only limited usability in the unregistered versions, and you have to pay for the program to get full use of it's features. Some have a time limit built in so that it stops functioning after a predefined time period or predefined number of uses.

Freeware is just what the name says; free the authors have provided these programs free for you to download and use, sometimes they do this because they have written other bigger programs that they want you to see, or these were just side results of other work they were doing, what ever the reason they're free.
