Free ALPHA test version.

This program is also available as a low-cost donate version, with select stable versions and no end user obligations.

The free version is for trying and testing, and is fully functional, but it may ask you to upgrade when there are newer ALFA versions available. If you do not like to be a tester over time or just want to show support, please buy the low-cost pay-for version once you have found it working satisfactory in your home.

Please continue to support and contribute by updating to the latest versions, reporting issues (to [email protected]) and suggesting improvements.

In general, please share successes with the world, but more importantly - as goes for any Alpha-version tester, any found issues to [email protected].

Includes easy-to-follow Guide for getting started.
