Members of the Ottawa PC Users' Group (OPCUG) are pleased to share with you their comments on software packages and other products which they have reviewed. We hope that you will be able to use these reviews to identify products which are of interest to you, and which you can use in your personal computing environment. 

The reviews include both proprietary and public-domain software. The Ottawa PC Users' Group maintains a library of freeware and shareware. Club members may download these public-domain files from our bulletin board, The PUB, via their browser

The following reviews first appeared as articles in the club's newsletter, Ottawa PC News, over the past year. The hard-copy newsletter is mailed to club members each month.  The newsletter is also distributed electronically to OPCUG members, upon request, using our listserver. Previous reviews can be found in back-issues of the newsletter which are available to members in electronic format on The PUB or in the Archived Reviews section of this website. 

Additionally, electronic versions of the full newsletters are available in both plain text and Adobe Acrobat format in the Articles section.
