Shareware/Freeware - June 1996
Shareware/Freeware
The below listed software is disability related or acts in such a way as to assist users with disabilities. If you would like to search significant shareware resources on the web, try some of those listed on the
Shareware section of my off site links. For finding disability shareware you are more likely to be successful quickly by searching through the collections listed here. Low Vision users should see the SuperAdaptoid Column for reviews and reports on shareware.
Shareware archives maintained by others
Some of the software is commercial and some is shareware. It should be marked as shareware/freeware or commercial in each case. This is a very large list of software and can be downloaded from the selected sites. It has been divided into categories for easier selection. Also let me point out that the AERES Project supports a good number more categories of shareware than are mentioned here. Please check their home page if you are interested in software other than the categories listed. They also support Macintosh shareware.

This is a less extensive source of sofware but it nonetheless may be helpful to many. Note that their listings do not make it obvious if this is DOS software or Windows based. Some are commercial DEMOS as well.
