Software Review: TreePad Lite Ver. 3.00 Personal Information Manager

For Writers, Bloggers, Researchers Etc.,

TreePad Lite (Version 3.0) free to download software from Freebyte.com (Almere, the Netherlands). It was very easy to download the package from Freebyte.com. Freebyte.com has also brought out similar freeware, TreePad Asia. Except one difference, both the freeware packages are identical in all respects. The difference is that 'TreePad Asia' is alone optimized for non-western fonts. I learned about TreePad Lite, software package through a Google search using key words like: 'Personal Database', 'Information Organizer.'

Well, please note that TreePad Lite can be used for all your private or commercial applications. You have every rights to distribute TreePad Lite data files without any limitations. Freebyte.com restricts copying of TreePad Lite freely under two conditions: one condition is that 'the zip file, this program and any of the accompanying files may not be changed.' The other one 'the zip file can be distributed, but it must be clear that it is distributed as freeware or shareware.'
