El Muerte TDS: please complete
pgibbs: If you look at http://www.wotgreal.com/Navigation/register.cfm, you'll see apparently you get "Limited" workspace support for the shareware version of WOTgreal, so i've changed the matrix to reflect this.
TikaKino: I use UltraEdit quite a lot, so I've added all the features I could find.
pgibbs: WOTgreal is being shipped with UT2004 (as a replacement for that IDE that it comes with)
Escher0: WOTgreal did not ship with UT2004
Harmeister: You're right, technically it shipped afterward under a different name (the UDE), but it was *supposed* to ship with it. You can download it now in anycase
Blue Ion: "You can download it now in anycase" for free... Maybe the "Download from Third-Party site" meant the UDN for download the UDE (not WOTgreal).
I don't know If it is necessary an other column since they are the same (change it if I'm mistaken)
