About Gun Safe & Tech Support

I started out making GunSafe for my own personal use, and decided to distribute it for free to anyone that wants it. As it is free, there is no technical support. Feel free to e-mail questions, I will do my best to answer when I can.
  • This software is provided as-is.
  • It works on Windows 98/NT4/2000/XP/Vista.
  • It does NOT run Mac or Linux.
The first version was completed in 2000, and a major update was done in 2002. Minor updates were made in 2006, resulting in the current Version 2.8. I began working on Version 3, but I've since stopped. There are currently no plans for a new version. If and when a new version is released, it will be a complete re-write, using a different platform.
