Here are some Programs available for download from the Internet. Some of these programs take hours to download without a high-speed Internet connection. For your convenience (and a $2 donation), ICON is making these programs available to you on CD. If you would like to pick up a copy of the CD at the August meeting, e-mail Charles Stieb in advance of the meeting.

The CD contains approximately 15 programs, including those below. Of course, you are welcome to download these programs on your own.

If there is any file you need downloaded or if you need help finding a program, please e-mail Charles Stieb.
