└──────────┘ GREAT SHAREWARE FOR AS LITTLE AS $2 PER MEGABYTE └──────────┘
As a special promotion, Pinnacle Software is offering a selection of our best-
selling shareware and freeware. We've listed our most popular titles. You

formats available). Plus, we'll throw in some BONUS shareware and freeware!
All of these are fully-functional programs (no "crippling")! Here are the

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!
