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 BeNFS Server and Client, a Network File System Server and Client. Past BeWare Highlights are 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.

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 (requires user-supplied MIDI hardware) basic flight simulator, and a few more....
