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.

Free Federal® Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog

Federal's award winning Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog is updated for 2008. The program runs on Windows® 98, ME, 2000, XP and 2003. The program uses less than 4.5 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 2008 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 2008 the 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, metric or Imperial 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 you need to go to the Federal® web site to download it. Look for the "Improved Ballistics Catalogs" box on their home page. The program is Free, so just click their "Interactive Ballistics Catalog" 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. If you're new to downloading programs, see the instructions at the top of our Download page.

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® 95,98, ME, NT 4.x, 2000, XP, or 2003. 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® 95, 98, ME, NT 4.x, 2000, XP, or 2003 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.

  • Magnify: Displays photos at 2 power (when auto size is off) to get a better look at details.

  • Captions can be added to any photo.

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

  • The program is a single file with built-in help, so it's easy to copy it to CD-ROMs you make and distribute.

  • Price: FREE
