Name Gen   v. 1.0   by Jaspish
  Size: 412 k     Win9x, WinNT, WinME,
Win2K,  WinXP
    20-Feb-2002

 
download
  Name Gen is a small utility which randomly generates a name from a database of first names and surnames. Originally it was created to help protect against those moments of writers block when you suddenly find yourself unable to think of a name. However in development I found it strangely addictive, and found myself sitting there trying to produce strange names, or famous people. It sounds absolutely boring and completely useless but it has the strange ability to actually engross you in something simple!

  The Literary Machine is a revolutionary relational database and composition tool that manages any kind of information, even the random thoughts and bits of information you get, and forget, throughout the day. LM's unique system unharnesses you (and your thinking) from the rigid framework of conventional databases. LM's unique composition tools are the first of their kind, before firing up your conventional word processor, Web page creation software, or presentation program, assemble your materials into a coherent and elegantly organized composition with the Literary Machine. Watch your productivity soar and, when you see your highly polished output, you'll know why we call this program The Literary Machine. Optional floppy disk download available (requires 6 disks).
All downloads links on the website are the freeware version of this fantastic program. Ignore references to "evaluation", this is a fully functional & completely FREE program!
 

 

RoughDraft   v. 2.11   by Richard Salsbury
  Size: 1.8 m     Windows    16-Sep-2002
 
download
  RoughDraft is a freeware word processor that, although suitable for general use, has features specifically designed for writers of novels, short stories, articles, poetry, plays and screenplays. It's designed to be as practical as possible, offering all the features you need, but without being complicated or awkward to use. RoughDraft is not designed to compete with major commercial word processors. If you need features such as tables, graphics, indexes, outline numbering, cross-references or footnotes, you'll have to look elsewhere. If you want a no-nonsense writing tool, RoughDraft should (I hope) give you what you need. Some of RoughDraft's highlights are: Up to 100 files open at the same time!; Four extra clipboards for inserting longer phrases or paragraphs; Special modes for screenplay writers and playwrights which make formatting easy; Can automatically generate cover pages for manuscript submissions with word and page counts; Shortcut keys for just about everything!; Comprehensive help system.
