NOTE: In a departure from previous practice the 2008 Pricelessware List was archived (in October 2008) when the Pricelessware selection process was complete. Versions of programs that are in active development will not change and program names will not be updated. Programs that become Shareware will not be removed. The acf Program Index links to acf program description pages that may have more current information than the PL2008 web pages.
Sort the table on any column by clicking on the column heading.
