Public (software) Library
Monthly CD
NOTICE: See the file LICENSE.DOC for rights and restrictions for this CD.
Installation and Overview:
The PsL Monthly CD contains all the new and updated programs written up
in the current month's issue of PsL News plus a different section from
our disk-based library each month.
The program PSL_SHRD displays the complete text of the issue of PsL
News on which this CD is based plus all the programs in the Section of
the Month and will install any of the programs with the press of a key.
The files on this CD are in ZIP format and contain a FILE_ID.DIZ, for
ease of access on BBSs. The file PKZIP204.EXE is a self-extracting
archive located in the root directory of the CD. It is required for
un-ZIP-ing the files. If you do not already have PKUNZIP available in a
directory in your path, copy PKZIP204.EXE to your hard disk and execute
it to extract the files within it. Then copy PKUNZIP.EXE to a directory
in your PATH. (Type PATH at the DOS prompt to see what directories are
in your PATH. See your DOS manual.)
Also in the root directory of the CD is a file with the name VIEW.COM
which is a simple file scrolling/viewing utility. If you do not already
have a file viewing utility, copy this one to a directory in your PATH.
The Windows-based program, PSL_SHRW, requires that you first copy the
files VBRUN300.DLL and WBTRCALL.DLL from the RUNTIMES directory on the
CD to the WINDOWS directory on your hard disk.
Description ("FILES.BBS") Files:
A description file by the name of "FILES.BBS" is in each directory and
contains the descriptions of each program in that directory.
You can do a quick read of the programs in a directory by changing into
the directory and typing \VIEW FILES.BBS
About Shareware:
Many of the programs on this CD are shareware and may be used for
evaluation purposes only.
The fee you paid for the CD does not include payment to the authors of
the programs. Use of shareware programs beyond a reasonable evaluation
period requires separate payment to the author of the program.
See the documentation for each program for registration payment details
and for any restrictions on redistribution.
About Public (software) Library:
PsL has been acquiring, testing, reviewing, organizing and distributing
public domain and shareware since 1982. The quality of PsL's work and
its collection of pd/shareware has been acclaimed by virtually every PC
computer magazine, as well as by non-computer publications from The NY
Times to Changing Times.
PsL News has been published monthly since 1984. Subscriptions to the
printed copy of PsL News are $24/year mailed first class, $18/year
mailed 3rd class.
Subscribing to the PsL Monthly CD:
If you do not already subscribe to the PsL Monthly CD, you can get your
own subscription for just $19.95 per CD plus $4 S&H, invoiced or charged
to your credit card on delivery. You can cancel at any time.
In the past, shareware vendors, BBS sysops, magazine columnists, and
others paid as much as $1000 per month (or more) to get all the new and
updated programs added to PsL each month.
They did this because of PsL's reputation of being the first to make
new programs available, of having the largest pd/shareware collection
on disks and adding the most new programs every month, and because of
our concise, honest reviews.
We priced the PsL Monthly CD low enough so that every sysop, vendor,
and end-user could afford to get all the new programs.
