Anyone know the APA format for citing computer programs??? (not websites) Thanks!

No sorry

I recall a little of the APA format. I don't think it specifically addresses Computer programs. I would guess you would do it like a book with an author, or like a book with only a publisher listed. WORD for WINDOWS XXX, Microsquish corporation, 1999. AFARR (Underline the title of the program)

The type of medium can be, but is not limited to the following: aggregated databases, online journals, Web sites or Web pages, newsgoups, Web- or Web or e-mail based newsletters. Pagination in electronic references is unavailable in many cases, thus left out of the citation. The APA Manual has a short section demonstrating the format for electronic references on pp. 268-281.

Champaign, IL: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research Laboratory. (CERL Report No.CH7-22510) If an individual(s) has proprietary rights to the software, their name(s) are listed at the head of the entry, last names first, followed by a period. Otherwise, treat such references as unauthored. Do not italize the title. Specify in brackets that the source is computer software, program or language. List the location and the organization's name that produced the program. Add any other necessary information for identifying the program (in this example, the report number) in parentheses at the entry's conclusion. To reference a manual, follow the same as above but add "manual" as the source in the bracketed information. Do not add a period at the end of a citation if it ends in a web address. Full-Text Database (i.e., book, magazine, newspaper article or report) The second date which follows is the date the user retrieved the material. No period follows an Internet Web address.
