Logiciels libres (ou gratuits ou shareware) pour Windows

Ceci est actuellement une copie de l'ancienne page des logiciels de l'institut de chimie. Vu les objectifs différents, l'évolution des liens pour des logiciels libres sera différente à partir de 2005. Le site de l'institut de chimie se limitera à un nombre restreint de propositions de logiciels(cf http://w3.umh.ac.be/chimie/logiciels_libres.php), cette page étant par contre plus fournie.

Note originale de Pascal Damman et Didier Villers : à moyen terme, l'usage de logiciels à coûts nuls ou réduits, assurant la portabilité et la pérennité des formats deviendra une nécessité, que leur utilisation soit professionnelle ou privée ! C'est pourquoi il nous semble opportun de réaliser une compilation de logiciels libres, gratuits ou sharewares utiles aux scientifiques.
