Shareware
There are a lot of good programs and other software available for free download on the Net; there are also so not-so-good ones. If you don't mind downloading them and trying them out - preferably on an old computer first - you can probably find one or more that will do the job you want, even better than bought commercial software. Here are some good sites which have collections of shareware, with descriptions and user remarks, ratings, and feed-back. Beware of "trial" versions which let you try a program for a limited time and then close down on you - I have found some of them to be difficult to un-install. But that is true of many commercial programs also - McAfee is a horrible case in point - it took hours to get all its hooks out of my computer.
The really good programs come with no strings attached, and rely on folks' appreciation of their usefulness to keep a trickle of financial contributions going to the authors.
