Since 1982 PC-SIG has been compiling the most respected shareware collection anywhere by actively seeking top software authors and their high quality programs. 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 sharware 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. The end user also wins with the opportunity to try the full program before buying it from the author. This ``try-before-you-buy'' method of software distribution is successful because shareware is high-quality software. Authors are confident that once you have used their programs you'll be impressed and want to register. The PC-SIG Retail Rack is a great way to obtain the best that shareware has to offer. Buying PC-SIG Shareware insures the highest quality, the most current versions, and support for every product we distribute.
