Pro tools demo available?

I typed in "pro tools free" in my search engine. It sent me to download.com. It appears to be a free/demo version of pro tools at that site. When I click on download, it sends me to what looks like the manufactor's homepage. I've looked around but I don't see any place to download the version mentioned at download. com. I think it was something like version 5.5.
Is there any old free version or demo of protools available for download? If so, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
Seems like it`s gone:

From the Digidesign site:

Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS 9 and Windows 98/Me — Discontinued

Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS 9 and Windows 98/Me are no longer available for download or on CD.

There are no current plans for a standalone version or a free version of Pro Tools for either Mac OSX or Windows XP.

When Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS9 and Windows 98/Me was released years ago, it was originally meant to be a temporary demonstration tool for Pro Tools. At that time, there were no portable (USB or FireWire) Digidesign interfaces, only Pro Tools systems that used PCI hardware. Since that time, Digidesign has introduced the Mbox, Mbox 2, Digi 002, and Digi 002 Rack interfaces, as well as Pro Tools M-Powered software, which supports many M-Audio portable interfaces.

Thanks for the info Olli.
Well, I guess if there's no demo version available you might as well close this thread.

Thanks,

Ken
