Think of the ACF program pages as our *community* bookmark file - not
review pages. . .

The ACF pages aim to furnish a SMALL amount of useful information about
a LOT of free programs - including some information that is not easy to
find on other web sites: the last freeware version, detailed ware
descriptions (free for who? etc.), no-install info etc.

The notes links are for additional descriptive information - notes can
contain any information you think would be helpful. You create them
yourself in the wiki (after signing in). Note: all programs have notes
*links* on the ACF pages, most don't have a wiki page as yet.

Kerio's notes link is:
http://acfwiki.pbwiki.com/index.php?wiki=0409-PW

Zonealarm's notes link is:
http://acfwiki.pbwiki.com/index.php?wiki=0893-PW

Sign into the wiki with the password (found at the bottom of the daily
info post), open a link and have at it. :)

By existing reviews I'm guessing you mean the ones on this page:
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_programs.php

Those are Pricelessware nomination descriptions. Before a program can be
nominated for the 2007 Pricelessware List someone will have to update
the current PL/ PL nomination description (or prepare a new description
if one doesn't exist). All that will happen in the fall. . .
