What are your favourite free programs, on any platform? Put in up to 3 and it can include games.

Disksalv on Amiga - Only thing that could help you after a virus or write error.
E UAE - a bit more user friendly than WinUAE
Napster - That was pretty impressive

I suppose I'd better add my fave Amiga progs... :-)

I suppose 90% of classic Amiga apps are now 'free' in one way or another...

Here are my top 3:

1: DirOpus 4.x     - Can't live without it...
2: Personal Paint - Never thought that DPaint could be beaten, but it was... :-)
3: AudioMaster   - How much it taught me about sampling and (mucking around)!

Mike.
