On this page you'll find software we are making available to the public for free, or software we developed for other companies who are making it available to the public for free. Some may ask, why give away software for free? Well, free software is to the web what free pencils, pens, key chains and calendars are to brick-and-mortar businesses. It's an effective way of letting people know who we are and where in cyberspace they can find us.

All programs on this page were developed by Dexadine, Inc., so you can have confidence there's no malicious code attached or any hidden payload. All of our products are digitally signed with our name, and thus, our reputation.


Free Federal® Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog

Federal's award winning Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog is updated for 2010. The program runs on Windows® 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows® 7. Supports both 32 and 64 bit editions of Windows®. The program uses less than 5 MB of hard drive space even though it contains a great many bullet and packaging images as well as data for all of Federal's 2010 rifle, pistol, rimfire, slug, and shotshell loads.

As before, the Ammunition and Ballistics catalog allows you to change shooting conditions such as temperature, altitude, crosswind, and sight height to those that match your conditions and then recalculate the velocity, energy, wind drift, and trajectory based on your settings. You can also change the zero range to see how the bullet path changes for other ranges.

The 2010 Ammunition and Ballistics catalog gives you the ability to quickly compare loads both in tabular and graphical form. You can even print out the comparison data and graphs.

As before you can quicly select loads by brand, bullet, caliber and usage. Other options allow you to change the color of various parts of the data grid, font size, English or metric units, and even turn some columns off if you don't need that data. Once you've found a load you like, you can print a handy report to take with you to the ammo store.

The program includes a pop-up Ammo Expert that will help you quickly find just the load you're looking for without manually searching the entire catalog.

Dexadine developed the program for Federal®, so use this link to the Federal® web site to get to the page where you can download it. The program is Free, so just click their link to download the "setup.exe" file (2.5 MB) to your hard drive. Once it's on your hard drive, just run the program to install the catalog. The software is digitally signed by Dexadine, Inc. If you're new to downloading programs, see the instructions at the top of our Download page.



Free Fusion™ Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog

Fusion ammunition is designed specifically by Federal for whitetail deer hunting. The Fusion Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog has all the same award winning features of the Federal Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog. These features give shooters easy access to all the information for the ammunition in the catalog customized to their own shooting conditions. The program runs on Windows® 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows® 7. Supports both 32 and 64 bit editions of Windows®.

The Federal web team produces arguably the best websites in the ammunition industry, yet they recognize the unique capabilities that only downloadable applications can offer, such as near instantaneous responsiveness regardless of the speed of your internet connection, or even lack of it. Such applications are not limited to a browser interface, nor the one-page-at-a-time view so common on the web, but offer users an interface customized for the specific purpose they serve.

Dexadine developed the program for Federal®, so you need to go to their Fusion website to download it. To find the download link, view any of the products such as "Handgun" and then look for a link to "download our ballistics application" near the bottom of the page. Note that the applicaton works in both metric and english units. Once you click their link to download, save the "fusion2010_setup.exe" file (1.2 MB) to your hard drive. Once it's on your hard drive, just run the program to install the catalog. If you're new to downloading programs, see the instructions at the top of our Download page. Note that the "fusion2010_setup.exe" file is digitally signed by Dexadine, Inc.

Dexadine's CRC Tool

This tool uses our proprietary Triple Interlaced CRC algorithm that combines three standard ISO-32 CRCs in such a way that every byte of a file is part of two CRCs and every two consecutive bytes are part of all three CRCs.

The odds that a single file could be changed, yet pass a Triple Interlaced CRC test is just 1 in 4.6 million trillion (4,600,000,000,000,000,000), yet the speed penalty is typically just 15 percent slower than that of a standard CRC.

Dexadine's CRC Tool works on Microsoft Windows® 2000, XP, Vista or Windows® 7. The FAT, FAT-32 and NTFS file systems are all supported. The maximum size of individual files is 4 GB.

Dexadine's CRC Tool is a single applicaiton file that needs no install or deinstall. Simply copy the application file to a directory and double click the file name to launch it. The tool can even be run from a CD-ROM. Help information is contained within the program file. Dexadine's CRC Tool may be freely distributed.

Photo Presenter

Have you seen what's happened to digital cameras in the last two years? They've gotten smaller, better, and cheaper. Whether on a hunting or fishing trip or a vacation with the family, a digital camera can capture your good times and let you share them with friends and family. And unlike conventional photos, digital photos won't fade or darken over time and you can e-mail them to friends across the country. Of course, you can always print them, but the colors just never seem to be as brilliant as when viewed on a monitor.

Photo Presenter makes it easy for anyone to view digital photos on a PC with a minimum of program controls cluttering up the display. Photo Presenter also makes it easy for anyone to add captions to their photos, something that greatly adds to their viewing enjoyment both now and especially into the future.

Photo Presenter may be freely distributed. For those with CD-ROM burners, free distribution lets you add Photo Presenter to your CD's of photos you make to share with friends and family. The program's help pages will show you how to have Photo Presenter automatically display the first photo or bit map when the CD is inserted in the drive. From there, all the photos in the folder can be viewed with just the Next and Back buttons. Your friends and family can view your photos simply by inserting your CD into their system.

Features:

  • Runs on Windows® 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows® 7. with at least High Color (16 bit) capabilities. Test photos and instructions for setting colors are included in the download.

  • Works with JPEG or bit map files (jpg, jpe, jpeg, bmp)

  • Auto Size: Sizes photos to fill the program's window. Auto size can be turned off to view photos in their actual size.

  • Table of Contents window (drive, folder, and file boxes) can be hidden.
