You bet. John Hood came up with a list of sites (and some apps) and put
it in our wiki:

A lot of it is not "green freeware" by definition (cf: bambam's
reply).

AFAIK that's as good as it gets. The sites on John's list furnish enough
info to make it fairly easy to find apps that are truly "green". dunno
of any that list ONLY "green" apps. . .

Yep, you're right. His succint comments with the URL's are
helpful.

OT (sorry if this was discussed before)
Checking the latest PWH's P_ProgramIndex.php (listed at John's
page), I got 847,694 bytes ... big 'gulp' on dialups. Any chance
that the page could be somehow split into smaller chunks?

TIA

I know it's a big gulp (I'm on dial-up too) but as it is now the apps
can be sorted by author, Pricelessware, install/ no install and ware
type. Splitting the page into chunks would mean we'd lose those nice
easy sorts. IMO that's not a good trade-off.

OTOH I think that page is about as big as it should get. Over 4000 apps
are listed now - I don't think the maximum number should be a whole lot
higher. The goal is an assortment of Freeware in each category - not a
list of every Freeware app that exists.

Well, the contents is well worth of the 'gulp' -- I'll live. :)
Thanks.
