- GO -- The Install-From-Diskette Program

- Recommended by Jim Hood's Shareware Marketing System Newsletter.

- If you distribute software or data on diskettes, you need GO! The GO program
- acts as a shell for dearchiving programs such as PKUNZIP or LHA. Now you
- don't have to give people complicated instructions for dearchiving, copying
- and installing! Just tell them, "Put the diskette in your drive and type GO!"
- Everything after that is easy.
-
- GO can also display documentation and print reply forms. It can even search
- the user's hard disk for the dearchiving program if you forgot to include it
- on the diskette!
-
- These top shareware vendors have obtained GO for distributing software...
-
- Austin ProSoft, BonWare, KelStar, PC-SIG, PD Select, Soft A'ware and others!
