Free Software download!

There are not to many things free in the world, so when I find something for free, especially software, I try to take advantage of it. Even if I just download and use it once, I'll just save it because you never know when one of these software tools will come in handy.

Wink

Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software. Its main purpose is for creating tutorials on how to use software, with step by step instructions. You can capture screenshots of your software using Wink and create a step by step walkthrough with images, buttons and text explaining the procedure. Wink can export your tutorials into Flash, PDF, HTML and even self-playing Flash executables. Advanced features include custom buttons for navigating the presentation, templates, balloon callouts, an inbuilt callout editor, cursor editor, palettes for the generated images and much more. Comes with two tutorials created using itself showing how to use Wink. Wink is a good tool for any developer/documentation creator/teacher's toolbox.
