The software listed below is what I am currently using on my PC. If you are on a Mac(and I feel sorry for you) I have also listed whether or not there is a Mac version available. At the bottom of the page are some links that will take you to different software archives.
Netscape-
Of course, I use Netscape for a browser. Of the others that I have used, I find that this one is the best. They also have a version for Macs.
E-mail Connection
- One of the best e-mail applications that I have seen. Easy to set up and easy to use. Mac version available.
Free Agent-
This is the best news reader I've seen. Online/offline access. Great for those of you who are paying out the ear for internet access(AOL, Prodigy, Compuserve).
Sorry, no Mac version.
WS-FTP-
This application is a standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client application for Windows Sockets. The user interface for this FTP client is designed with the novice FTP user in mind. No Mac version.
Winzip-
The best compression/decompression utility. Period! And it's self-extracting...so you don't need PKUNZIP to get it. As the title suggests...no Mac version.
mIRC
- Internet Relay Chat software. Once again...the best. And, once again, no Mac version.
(Kinda makes you wanna buy a PC, huh?)
Wscan-
Once more, I bring you the best! McAffe Virus Scanner. You don't want to bring any of those little bugs home, do you? Hey, they even have a Mac version!
EZ-Split-
EZ-Split is an easy to use file splitter. The purpose of EZ-Split is to take a huge file and split it across multiple diskettes. Some of EZ-Split's features are as follows: Split file from hard drive to any size (density) floppy, split files to either blank or partially filled diskettes, configurable to your
particular system, easily re-join split files. EZ-Split is great for archiving big files to diskette in case the need to restore arises. Also good for transporting large files between PC's. No Mac version.
