Here is a list of links that us at Delta Fox Design have found that may be useful to you. Note that the links listed below are not part of the Delta Fox Design website. We do not get any compensation for sharing these links. (We will however receive a payment for referring you to Interserver, so that's a special "affiliate" link. Even if that wasn't the case we still would have included it since we have good experience doing business with them.)
DISCLAIMER: The links are provided as is, with no guarantee of reliability and/or content. Use of these links is at your own risk. Delta Fox Design will not be held responsible for any problems with these links. We have used these links our self and they have never caused any serious problems that we know of.
PRECAUTIONS when downloading: Websites that have good safe software can have ads that are not clearly marked as ads. These ads may try to trick you into thinking that they are the download link when in fact they are a download for something else, possibly even a download for a virus. Also web sites can be compromised and a malicious person can install viruses on them. ALWAYS check the download with antivirus before running it. You can do this by right clicking it and selecting "scan with". If you don't have Antivirus download and install one BEFORE anything else. See Free Antivirus Programs. Downloading a virus will not hurt your computer, but running it can, so if you know it might be a virus delete it ASAP. You can also check the hash AKA checksum of a file to make sure it matches the one shown on the website. This hash is a string of seemingly random letters and numbers that can tell if the file was changed, an example is MD5. The program HashTab listed under Other Free Programs is a great program for this.
Update Nov 24, 2021 About Operating Systems supported: Added Operating Systems supported for programs. Note some programs creators may have added support for more Operating Systems (OS) after I checked there site, there is also a chance I missed an OS because it was not listed. Win means Windows, Mac means Mac (desktop or laptop usually), Phone means at least Android and iOS, Unix-like see there website (Unix,Linux and BSD are Unix-like). OS means Operating System. Chrome OS the OS Chromebook comes with, Port basically means unofficial version, Bootable (any OS / no OS required). Note the OS supported I note is only the pre-built versions, some programs (especially Linux ones) have source code available so you can compile your own version for your OS. Also note Linux has Wine that is meant to run Windows apps, it does not work 100%.
