Here you can find downloads of general interest.
Note about opening archives: Several downloads on this page are available as StuffIt or ZIP archives. In order to open StuffIt archives you will need the free StuffIt Expander (available from http://www.stuffit.com/ - though the procedure to access the free StuffIt Expander has become pretty cumbersome now). Opening or de-compressing ZIP archives is directly supported by Mac OS/X 10.3 and Windows XP. With other operating systems or versions of operating systems you may need one of the free un-ZIP tools on the internet. Archives whose names only differ with regard to their suffix - .sit versus .zip - have the same content.
