Freeware/Shareware users:

Ziff-Davis, (one of?) the monster PC magazine publishers, has a large collection of software, both free/share ware and stuff written specifically as "gifts" for subscribers; but they have recently required you to be a "registered subscriber" and/or pay a "monthly usage fee" to get to the stuff.

A recent "newsmail" says that they have "temporarily" discontinued the "fee" for downloads on at least some of the goodies. There's no indication of how long this will last, and they don't say that everything is included; but the link given is:

PCMag shareware/freeware.

If you're interested, this might be a good time to take a look at what's there.

The few utilities I've looked at in the past have been excellent, but mostly limited to those published by the magazine themselves. All of those have source code available for download with the program, so they can be used as a "study aid" by those interested in coding. I don't know whether the stuff by other (non magazine) authors is open source, but they do apparently try to skim off and eliminate anything that's too buggy.
