╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
From its very beginning PC-SIG has been a driving force in bringing
to the consumer high-quality, low-cost software. Since 1983 PC-SIG
has actively sought top software authors for the world's largest
library of shareware and public domain software. The Library has
grown rapidly over the years to more than 2,800 disks. We could
never have achieved this goal without the help and support of both
the authors and the computing community. By listening to our
end-users we have developed a library that focuses on the grassroot
user's knowledge and skills.
Shareware is a unique approach to software retailing in which
consumers purchase software directly from the author. Individual
authors avoid costly marketing, promotion, and packaging by
allowing their programs to be copied and shared with few
restrictions. PC-SIG plays a vital role in the shareware process by
bringing shareware to the consumer. As a central distributor,
PC-SIG can give these programs the exposure they deserve at a
fraction of the cost of bringing a single software package to
market. In the end, the consumer wins with great software at
prices far below traditional retail markets.
We work closely with our authors in bringing their software to the
attention of the computing public. We represent a chance for the
author to establish software in the marketplace without having
to spend a fortune on marketing and advertising. Due to our
distribution method, unique and beneficial programs that would
normally not be available in a retail outlet are accessible to
computer users. The PC-SIG Library provides the shareware author
with a financial base unclouded by middlemen or marketing costs.
This allows the consumer to purchase software at prices far below
conventional retail price structures.
The most important ingredient in the success of the Library has
been you--the end-user. Your comments about programs, to both the
PC-SIG staff and to the authors themselves, have been extremely
influential in creating a library of the best and most up-to-date
shareware anywhere. Your questions and feedback have been
very beneficial in the development of software that would otherwise
be unavailable. The user comments included in this book are
invaluable to programmers and the computing public as a whole.
Yet, PC-SIG is more than just a distribution center for shareware
authors. We are a publisher of books and magazines that focus
specifically on the shareware phenomenon. We offer telephone
technical support for each of the products we sell, and by using
CD-ROM technology we have been able to put the entire PC-SIG
Library on the user's desk. Throughout the history of PC-SIG we
have tried to be a conduit between the software author and the end
user. By doing this we have offered and will continue to offer
inexpensive, quality software to the computing consumer.
Buying PC-SIG Shareware directly from PC-SIG insures the highest
quality, most current versions, and support for every product we
distribute. If you're interested in the shareware phenomenon

shareware and the programs that make it successful. To order

Why PC-SIG Shareware?
PC-SIG diskettes are quality shareware which have been quality
tested and reviewed. You, the consumer, also have the chance to
test use the programs before sending any registration fee to the
author for further updates, telephone support and printed manuals.
Testing various programs also gives you a better operating knowledge
of which programs best suit your needs.
PC-SIG Authorized Dealers back all PC-SIG products with PC-SIG's
guarantee that each diskette is free of media errors, program bugs
and that each program will perform as it is supposed to. PC-SIG
Authorized Dealers only sell diskettes featuring the
distinctive PC-SIG red logo on the sleeve and label. The red PC-SIG
logo is your assurance that you are purchasing a fully tested,
quality shareware product with PC-SIG's guarantee. PC-SIG's quality
assurance also means that you receive a full featured program
complete with documentation on the disk.
Do not be fooled by imitations. Buying from a PC-SIG Authorized
Dealer is your guarantee that you are purchasing quality products
from someone you can trust. PC-SIG cannot update or support non PC-
SIG diskettes.
