Beta Software

My programs are under constant development. Because it is impractical to fully test these tools over all situations every time I finish something new, a version with the latest improvements will be available for download as a beta version. (A beta version is a test-version, work in progress, and may contain flaws and bugs...) Versions that are already known to be reliable and stable can be downloaded from the Windows freeware page.

Here you will find "last minutes" compilations, and executables only. You need to have a previous version installed. Backup your existing executable (rename it to Programname-OLD.exe or something) just in case you don't like this one.

No beta software available at this time.
