Digital CAT, formerly $35 for student version, is now free for students to download! If you are not sure what software you want to buy or want to try something out, here is your risk-free trial. If you decide to buy the full version later, it is much cheaper than Eclipse or CaseCATalyst. If you are undecided, this may be worth a shot. Some reporters use it, though there are more users of the other two. Here is the direct link to register for free download --
