SHAREWARE REVIEWS is published monthly by SOFTWARE CREATIONS and is
provided in three versions. In each, the reviews will be in "plain
vanilla" ASCII format so that any DOS based, generic file viewer can be used
to view and print them. An electronic newsletter of brief one paragraph
reviews, of which you now have a copy, will be distributed around the first
of each month (except for August). At SOFTWARE CREATIONS, it is available to
all callers, even new users, as freeware. The second version contains
in-depth longer reviews of each program with many detailed specifics and
important installation hints. The long reviews are usually a full page or
more for each of 15 different shareware programs, highlighting the most
important aspects of the program. When a program is unusually deep and
complex, an issue of SHAREWARE REVIEWS will comprise less than 15 programs.
The September issue of SHAREWARE REVIEWS included Astronomy Lab for Windows
NT which was counted as three programs of the usual type. SHAREWARE REVIEWS
will be distributed by first class USPS on disk and will be available only by
subscription at $30 for 12 issues. The third version is available for $96
and you will receive the long informative reviews along with each shareware
program reviewed in an archived (usually ZIP) format. That comes to 12
monthly issues with a total of approximately 180 programs at a cost of only
$0.53 or less per program.
SHAREWARE REVIEWS will publish 11 issues per year (with a combined July/
August issue), therefore, a subscription will encompass 13 months. Unless
you live within the SOFTWARE CREATIONS area code, your phone bill to download
this many programs would exceed the subscription price. Single back issues
of each month's shareware files are available at $12/monthly for a set of
disks. These prices includes all costs: disks, shipping and handling.
We hope to set an industry standard with SHAREWARE REVIEWS. Glitzy
no; valuable intelligent reviews, yes. If you find only one program each year
that dramatically increases either your business productivity, education, or
enjoyment of life, the subscription cost will be well worth it. Each
newsletter will contain 15 reviews in both the short and long versions.
