1. QuickFigure Pro (already have QFW) [CAN'T HELP YOU HERE]
2. Works Better [STANDALONE STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS: WWW.STANDALONE.COM]
3. NewtPaint [LANDWARE WILL SELL BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DIRECT APPROACH]
4. photoShow

LANDWARE HAVE SAID THAT THEY NO LONGER WANT TO CONTINUE MAKING NOS APPS
AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE; HOWEVER THEY WILL SELL BASED ON DIRECT APPROACHES;

[SNIP]

Have some of these apps been released as freeware, or
will any of these companies still accept payment?

YES MANY DEVELOPERS HAVE RELEASED THEIR APPS INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN AS FREEWARE;
FOR EXAMPLE, THE DATABASE PROGRAM FILEPAD HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR SOME TIME; THE
WINDOWS PART OF IT HAS JUST BEEN RECOVERED AND SENT TO UNNA AND THE TEMPORARY
NEWTON ARCHIVE FOR RELEASE.

THERE ARE ONE OR TWO OF US WHO MAKE A POINT OF CONTACTING PREVIOUS DEVELOPERS TO
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT GETTING THEM RELEASED.
