Thank you for your interest in PsL. My name is Nelson Ford, owner of PsL
["Public (software) Library"].  I have been collecting, testing,
organizing, reviewing and distributing public domain and shareware
software since 1982.
 
Over the years, PsL has been recognized by virtually every computer
publication and many non-computer publications from Changing Times to
New York Times as having the largest and highest quality collection of
pd/shareware in existence.
 
Since 1984, we have published the monthly magazine, PsL News, which
reviews all the new and updated pd/shareware programs released each
month.  Two other innovations of PsL several years ago were (1) to
distribute large programs and set of similar programs/files on
high-density 3.5" disks for under $7 (the same software on separate 360k
disks from other vendors costs $15-$20), and (2) to provide an 800#
credit card registration service for shareware authors.  We now take
orders for the authors of over 1200 programs.
 
In the Summer of 1993, we began distributing a Monthly CD-ROM with all
the new/updated programs written up in PsL News each month.  For as
little as $19.95, users get from 1000 to 1500 new/updated programs each
month plus a different section of our library each month (around 3000
programs), such as Games, Business Apps, Utilities, etc.
 
All programs are written up by PsL on the CD, tested for viruses and for
quality, and arranged in directories by operating system and category.
Software for DOS and for Windows allows searching the PsL Shareware
Database, reading about the programs, viewing screen shots of many of
the new programs, and installing the programs with the press of a key.
 
People can get a free sample issue of PsL News or can subscribe to the
PsL Monthly CD- ROM ($19.95 plus $4 shipping, charged monthly, cancel
any time, satisfaction guaranteed; single issue: $29.95 + s&h) by

to CIS# 71355,470 or by writing to PsL, P.O.Box 35705, Houston, TX
