UPDATED: 29th April 2011
I'm aware that Dave J had a thread setup for this but it seems to have gone dead, back in February. So, i've decided to create new and up-to-date Plugin thread which contains the URL's to all the FREE plugins available for DarkBASIC Pro (and maybe DBC too).
I'll try to keep this thread up-to-date for as long as I can, so if you spot a free plugin that isn't on the list, feel free to post it here along with a link.
