VISIONARY 2000 -
Free Software!
A disk of the best free/share/trialware is included with the
VISIONARY 2000 Clear Flip Cover.
For your convenience, the same programs are available for free
downloading here. In many cases an unzipping utility is
required. On the disk included with the
VISIONARY 2000 all these files are
shipped already extracted. Each can be immediately installed
from the location shown in the File: field.
Some of these programs can be used freely forever,
but many require that you pay a purchase price if you wish
to continue using them. This is usually a simple process
of filling out an online credit card order form, and receiving
a registration number back by email, which is then entered
in a program menu.
These programs are installed using the standard install tool
which came with your organizer software. For help using the
install tool, consult the organizer manual.
No warranty nor support of any kind is provided by
VISIONARY 2000 for any of this software,
nor is any endorsement of or by the respective authors made or
implied. For help with a specific program, visit the author's web
site. Most programs also include a
README file which can
be reviewed for additional info. Not all programs are Pilot 1000
or Pilot 5000 compatible.
