- You could try uploading them to Compu$erve, but you would have to get an
- account if you don't have one, and then find the appropriate special
- interest groups. If you know someone with a C$ account, ask them about
- the SIGs.
-
- Send a copy to shareware distributors. (I know, some people believe them
- to be the great oppressor of shareware authors) They can get your software
- on their list which will get you some free advertising. You just have to
- make it clear to the end user that the $5-10 they paid for the disk was
- not a registration fee. You can find these folks in most major PC magazines.
