CALL FOR AUTHORS Unless a programmer utilizes a marketing concept such as shareware, the cost of bringing software to the attention of the computing public is almost prohibitive. Further, the end user must bear the additional costs of marketing, advertising and packaging. Software should be accessible to the entire computing community and prices should reflect the quality of the program, not that of the package. For these reasons PC-SIG is hosting an open call to programmers to become shareware authors and participate in the PC-SIG Library. In the coming year PC-SIG will be pursuing several exciting opportunities to make shareware available to the PC user in business, education and other applications. In developing these markets we hope to bring to the public at large the dynamic potential we see in shareware. Your software could be part of these new markets. As part of the PC-SIG Library the software author benefits in many ways. Once your program is accepted into the Library it is listed in our directory. Your program has the chance to be included in our national advertising campaigns; in-depth reviews of shareware programs appear in SHAREWARE Magazine, and every effort is made by PC-SIG to put quality programs in the hands of interested PC users. This is all part of a non-exclusive agreement between the shareware author and the PC-SIG Library. PC-SIG has also begun the widespread sale of registered versions; giving national advertising promotion to fine shareware. There are challenging and exciting times ahead for shareware authors and we would like to help you be part of them. Please print out the author submission form on this CD ROM. This is the first step in getting your program into the PC-SIG Library.
