Welcome to the BeWare catalog. This is the central site where users can locate much of the currently available software for the BeOS. Unlike many other software archive sites which are centrally administered, the BeWare shareware/freeware software catalog entries are maintained by developers themselves. Developers can add and modify their applications in the Registered Developer Area (guidelines for uploading to the Be FTP site are also available). Both currently shipping and planned applications can be listed in BeWare. If the information in the records isn't correct, let them know! BeWare is updated nightly; the latest additions can be found on the New BeWare page. A "What's New on the Be FTP Site" page has been set up, too, and includes code snippets which might not otherwise qualify as complete applications in BeWare. BeWare Highlights BeWare Highlights provides an in-depth look at selected BeOS applications. Screenshots and key application information are provided. The newest BeWare Highlight is 3D Starchart, an astronomy application for viewing information about stars. Past BeWare Highlights are BeNFS Server and Client, a Network File System Server and Client, Felix, a freeware IRC client with a Graphical User Interface, Sum-It, a spreadsheet application, XPlode, a utility which uncompresses files with one click in the Browser, Kftp, a freeware FTP client with a Graphical User Interface, and the Reggae Suite of write/paint/draw applications. Looking for the most popular BeOS software? The Top Preview Release applications downloaded include: Doom -- The classic first-person 3D game. Abuse -- Sidescrolling game. (for bonus points, play DOOM and Abuse at the same time on the same machine!) Kftp -- FTP client with a Graphical User Interface TManager -- Graphically displays what's going on in your BeOS system. For geeks only. h.scribe -- HTML editor for power webmasters. Be Asteroids -- An update of an old classic. BPlode and ExpandMe -- Add-ons which expand tar, zip, gzip, and other formats with a single right-click in the Tracker. Test them for yourself and decide which one you'd rather use. Attraction -- A real-time particle simulator, easily the biggest BeOS time-waster for Be engineers. Be sure to grab Baron's Attraction Particles too. Adam -- The latest update to the popular third-party e-mail program for the BeOS. Be Basics and Be Studio -- Essential productivity software for the BeOS. rö color -- A free trial interactive color editor. BeOS Masters Awards The BeOS Masters Awards are designed to encourage and recognize the individuals behind some of the best software being released for the BeOS. The recipients of the August Masters Awards received dual-processor UMAX PowerPC machines. Runners-up received a variety of prizes, from Jaz drives to MIDI sequencers. The August Masters Award winners are a great place to check for the tops in this summer's crop of BeOS applications. The BeOS also comes with dozens of shell tools (like grep and awk) built-in. They're documented in the Be Shell Tools area. Many functions which require extra applications on other operating systems come bundled with the BeOS. For these we've assembled a separate area, complete with screenshots [Webmaster's Note: the screenshot area is currently being updated for the Preview Release; in the meantime, see the Tour of the Preview Release]; the applications include: WWW client and basic server (built-in PPP and Ethernet support, of course) FTP client and server Telnet client and server E-mail client basic image viewer basic sound player SCSI Probe Metrowerks CodeWarrior Lite (app size limited to <64 Kb) basic text editor shell/terminal application CD player MIDI player basic flight simulator, and a few more....
