Get It While You Can

[Susan Bugher]

Some authors often release programs first as freeware and then later as
shareware. It may be difficult or impossible to find the Freeware
versions once a shareware version has been released.

IOW - these author's freeware programs should be downloaded ASAP before
they disappear. ISTM that a list of such authors/author's websites might
be useful as a reference.

Here are a couple:

Like 'Pardon' in another thread?

BTW, the pricelesswarehome link to Pardon appears to be to the
shareware app.

Are you looking to start an 'abandonware' thread?

My first contributions would be Activesaver and Diskdata...

You looked too soon - I *just* uploaded revised pages -> $ware noted -
link omitted.

Nope - a list of authors/sites that release freeware versions as an
advertising technique. . . and yank them back when the app goes
shareware. . . number 3 on this list:

1. Freeware Forever
2. Freeware to -> Liteware/$ware
3. Freeware to -> $ware only

but since you brought it up. . .

I'll post a LFW (last freeware version) list. stay tuned. . .
