Miscellaneous Freeware for Windows NT
Most of these, if not all of them, are also compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
All freeware available at this location is also freely redistributable.
These programs were written years ago and I no longer have the source code for them. Some have been recreated from scratch as Windows XP programs.
