    Picking Operating System(s):

    Software titles listed in this document and other links are written for specific computer platforms, so you have to know what operating system software is installed on your computer before downloading available titles (some titles are available in separate versions for separate platforms).
    Besides the Microsoft® series of operating systems which run from DOS through Windows® XP® and Windows® Vista, there are the Mac® series with the current OS X, and there are newer ones being developed.  See this link www.osdata.com - Operating System Technical Comparison for over 30 operating systems which include many open source (free) systems like the LINUX platform.

    SETUP:
    For discussion's sake, let's assume that you are viewing this page from computer "A" and you want to download the free software programs listed throughout this document to copy to computer "B" (say at home or in a lab). In order to make computer "B" ready for Internet access, it has to have some minimum specifications (with the understanding that your Internet access will be severely limited if you will be working with a slow Pentium 2 version); a Pentium 4 definitely is recommended minimum, operating at least 800 Mhz speed, with a minimum of 512 MB RAM. Let's also assume you have installed a 56 kps modem and have secured a dial-up account from your local Internet Service Provider.

    Next follow the sequence of my "How-To" guides to find, download, install, and use the software programs appropriate for your system based on the factors discussed in the preceding guide section.

    Search Strategies and Internet tools:

    * Back to Guides *

    Security Note: I use Yahoo!.com® mainly - because potentially dangerous links are highlighted in red with warning!

    Search engines/tools make it very easy to find any information on the Internet  (and they are compared in some of the following links).   In Altavista's advanced search block, for example, typing all the words in the following compound search string:  "free software" AND Windows (NOTE the quotes around two or more words and the capitalized Boolean AND)
    would yield somewhat limited hits of free software for Microsoft® Windows®.

    A power-user hint to find related information at a given site is to use the directory-climbing method:   Click on the URL address in your browser until the address is not highlighted.   Place the cursor at the end of the address and then backspace to remove the last sub-directory in that address, one at a time:  (http://www.microsoft.com/education/k12/)   becomes (http://www.microsoft.com/education/).  Press enter for the new directory.

    How to upload / download files

    If you want to make a copy of an online document displayed in your browser, select SAVE AS under the FILE menu function. When prompted for a name, rename it to something that makes sense to you so you can find it later.

    NOTE: You will lose the contents of an old file if you use the same filename for any new file (in the same directory)!

    If you have located an underlined file to download, move the pointer to the file you want and click the left mouse button to activate the download process (and choose the SAVE button).

    How to unzip compressed files:

    * Back to Guides *

    To save online transmission time, many files are compacted (compressed or "zipped"). There are many formats you will encounter and you must use the tool which is appropriate to your downloaded file based on its extension. Some files are conveniently compressed into an executable file (*.exe) which, when run, will unzip one or more files in your working directory. That is why it is important to create a temporary directory and copy the downloaded file to that directory before unzipping.

    See free tools at:

  264. Unzipping, Unstuffing & Extracting Software on the Net
  265. Working with ZIP files in Windows XP and Mac OS X

    How to copy large files to other computers:

    * Back to Guides *

    • There are several ways to transfer files from one computer to another:
    • If both computers can accommodate USB thumb drives, use Windows Explorer to copy to USB on one and take the USB to the other - and again use Windows Explorer to drag & drop USB files to the folder of your choice.
    • If both computers have CD drives, use the similar procedure.
    • There are special serial and parallel cables which can be used with special software to transfer files - that's rather old fashioned now.
    • Files can be sent by e-mail if there is a live connection.
    • Files can be copied to an Internet storage site - and downloaded by the other computer - again if there is a live connection.
    • If both computers are networked - could use EDIT:COPY then EDIT: PASTE.
    • If the files are small enough to fit on one floppy - use similar process as above. If the files are too large for one floppy - then use the HJSplit program below (or equivalent).
      NOTE: You should use diskettes which are compatible to both the computer you copy the programs/utilities from and the one you will copy them to. If they are not preformatted, select My Computer folder - next select floppy drive and then select Format. If you prefer DOS instructions:
      How To Fix and Format Floppy Diskettes and Drive A errors
    • Making a startup disk - also shows how to format a floppy
    • DOS Format Command

      A free PC utility Directory Control - by Peter Esherick (based on PC Magazine's CO and DR: view, copy, delete files and more in DOS) will simplify marking multiple files to copy to other media

      Programs larger than what will fit entirely on one diskette may be copied piecemeal by free disk utilities

    See DOS version at HJSplit home page. There is a Microsoft® Windows® version there also.


    How to install programs and plug-in's:

    * Back to Guides *

    **SPOTLIGHT SPECIAL:

    USB thumb drives are being used more and more for portable applications that do not have to be formally installed (inventoried by the Window's registry process). Note that portable apps can also be installed on a computer's hard drive for the same advantage. IF YOU DO INSTALL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE A KEY CODE - MAKE SURE YOU WRITE THESE NUMBERS DOWN IN MANY PLACES - ESPECIALLY IN A LOG BOOK KEPT BY THE COMPUTER. It will be next to impossible to reinstall some programs without those codes. If you have misplaced the key code for Windows XP® - you can retrieve it now with this program Keyfinder.zip - from magicaljellybean.com - RECORD this number ASAP. Many software authors include an install program to automate the process or they provide instructions on how to perform the installation by a README file or other documentation.

    How to create Blogs, Home Pages, Presentations, & Resumes:

    * Back to Guides *

    By encouraging students to use free HTML editors to compose conventional "home pages", students not only get a greater insight about the popular mode of how information is handled on the Internet but more importantly advance to using editors and related tools for class reports, presentations, and ultimately for resumes in order to become entry-level practitioners for the high-tech marketplace.

    How-To Use Notetab Lite Editor:

    I used this editor to create most of this web site and it can be used in conjunction with a browser to create presentations with photos, web pages, and even resumes. First thing I like about the editor is that once you highlight one word or more, you can embed that string with HTML codings with a click of the mouse. What's also impressive is the fact that you can click on Second Window under Document tab - and then highlight text in one document and drag it across to the 2nd document. You can study some of the scripts and have the editor perform multiple actions with one mouse click. And, of course, you can preview the coded page in your favorite browser!

    When you are creating a document or program, save your work frequently to TWO places: e.g. - floppy disk AND hard drive (or USB AND hard drive).  Experienced users often save added text to a new filename so that if something goes wrong - they can retrieve the earlier copy in tack.  An Uninterruptible Power Supply has also saved me a lot of grief!

    How to retrieve information from stored media:

    USEFUL FILE RETRIEVAL UTILITIES

    NOTE: To access DOS - click on START - then PROGRAMS - then ACCESSORIES - then COMMAND PROMPT
    Sometimes a file may not be where you thought you saved it:
    If you forgot what it was named, you might try adding a DOS utility called Since.zip - after unzipping it - to the root directory of your hard drive: Typing the following command will find all files added to your hard drive in the last 5 days: SINCE 5 A | MORE

    Secondly, try another DOS File Finder utility called WHEREIS.COM. Typing the following command will find the location of all files starting with my__: WHEREIS MY*.*

    If you want to find every file in a given directory on your hard drive that has the word "holiday" and put the results into a file called found.doc, use the DOS utility called Bfind - Finds file strings and type:
    BFIND "holiday" *.* > found.doc

    Before you plan to download or install programs on your hard drive, it makes sense to defragment the hard drive (See DOS command for defragment).
