n.i. = no install,
n.r. = no registry entries,
CLI = Command Line Interface
Column W notes ware status changes:
LFW = last freeware version (the program has been abandoned or discontinued or become $ware).
$W = no longer freeware (no last freeware version available).
NR = NOT RECOMMENDED (search Google's archive of ACF posts for more information)
Notes column: The notes pages are in ACF's wiki. Links are provided for all programs to facilitate creation of the pages. If a notes page exists it will be shown when you click on the link. If you click a link to a non-existent page the wiki assumes you want to create/edit that page and you will see a login message. (Any ACF participant can create/edit the notes pages. Post a question in the newsgroup if you need how-to information.)
