This page contains information about the lingo used
in our reviews (see the A-Z pages).
The applications were sorted alphabetically, but in some special cases, the blank spaces were ignored: e.g., Flashcard
and Flash Card are treated just the same.
To keep the descriptions of the programs as brief as possible, only flaws or outstanding features are mentioned.
Anyway, most of the times, if a major requirement from our test
criteria page is not referred explicitly
in the description, you can mostly expect it as not being fulfilled by the corresponding application.
We have used the following abbreviations and symbols:
| |
[Prices and licenses] |
|
Prices were round up!
Prices in expired European Union currencies were converted to Euros. No guarantees are given for accuracy!
Prices and labels such as "Freeware" refer to licenses for private use only.
A price following the description "Demo" refers to the full version. |
| |
[Words in Russian] |
|
Russian words
have been transliterated using an ANSI-compliant scheme. To keep a one-to-one relation to the Cyrillic alphabet,
the following non-standard conventions were adopted: zh, ì (i kratkoe), kh, x (ts), shh (shch), " (hard
sign), y (jery), ' (soft sign), è (hard e), ju (soft u), ja. |

version, i.e. some features are disabled or were not compiled. Most demos are free to try. (See Shareware) |
| |
Freeware |
|
A type of software that is free to use (at least for users complying
with certain conditions). |
| |

Unless otherwise stated, the applications were released in English. Such
a mark means the program is only available with a French interface (etc.). |
| |
French and English versions |
|
This means the program is available separately with a French interface
and with an English interface. |

of the corresponding A-Z page. |

a dollar). |

Shareware |

in features. (See Demo) |
| |
SP3 |
|

| |
VB, VB6 |

The application was developed with Visual Basic, which implies it will
install (or you will have to install) those nasty DLL libraries on your system :-þ
You can get such libraries from Nonags, for example (use the Search facility available there). |
| |
Windows 3.1 |
|
Most programs in this survey are 32-bit applications (for Windows 95,
98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP). 16-bit applications are marked this way. |
