[6";32;41m SHAREWARE
[0m& This is a list of shareware names,&addresses, products and prices that&have been reviewed in Amy PD Review.&Always look in the latest issue of the&magazine to see if you have the most&up-to-date address or phone number of&the shareware producer you are wishing
to contact.& Shareware producers... it would be&appreciated if you would keep me&informed of any address, phone number&or product changes that may occur.&Please let me know of any errors in&this list or if you would prefer me¬ to include you. If you have a&later release of a product I have&reviewed please submit it as I will&gladly do an update on it in the&magazine. If you think I have made&mistakes in a review of your product&please let me know as I would wish to&correct any made. I want to see&shareware succeed on the Amiga and&hopefully this magazine can help in
some small way.& If you are buying shareware and the&fee is quite high it may be a good&idea to phone the producer first&before sending off your money. This&should make you feel secure that at!least you have the right address.& I cannot be held responsible for&any errors in this list or any&problems shareware producers may have&with their customers or problems the&buyers of shareware may encounter with&the product or it's producer.&Customers anyway should always test&the shareware thoroughly before&buying. Try before you buy is after&all one of the great advantages of&shareware over their commercial
counterparts.& The other main advantages of&shareware are usually cheaper prices&plus personal contact with the&producers. You should also get the&latest version available too - not one&that's a year or two old which some&distributor or retailer has been dying

[0m$to flog of to some unsuspecting mug.& Problems such as buggy software may&be encountered but that also applies&to commercial software. Manuals may&only be provided on disk but this is&in my opinion a boon on a multi-&tasking machine such as the Amiga.&Help can be just a button-click away&and it sure saves on desk space - not&to mention trees. The ability to do a&word search of the whole manual is&also much better than the usually&incomplete indexes that come with the
paper alternatives.& If you are in the market for Amiga&software I suggest you check out&what's available in shareware - you&may find the perfect product for you
at a sensible price.& And shareware producers... what&price you set for your software is&your business but make sure it is high&enough to enable you to at least post&a reply (and receipt) airmail to&anywhere in the world from your&location. If people send off their&money in good faith but then hear¬hing from you they are hardly&likely to bother to do so again for&your next product are they? For all&they know their payment may be sitting
in a dead-letter box somewhere.& Letters to the editor would be&welcomed on any aspects of shareware&whether you are a customer or producer.& The index is arranged in the&alphabetical order of the producers'&names - not their software. To find&the software you are looking for use&the "Article" option of "Text Search"
