Here's a copy of the 12th Edition of the PC-SIG Shareware CD. Before 
the internet brough massive amounts of programs to your digital door, 
companies like PC-SIG would send you (for a small fee, of course) 
copies of popular shareware, freeware, or trialware programs on floppy 
disk. Or, if you had a few grand to drop on a CD reader, and a few more 
thousand dollars (yes!) to drop on a CD, you could get the entire 
library delivered to your doorstep. This is a copy of one of those CDs.

PC-SIG compiled a fairly nice list of games and applications, but was 
ultimately killed off by the internet and the fact that the founder, 
Richard Peterson, liked to ignore the wishes of the software owners and 
include things that he was asked to remove.

This disc is from 1993, and comprises one of the last (if not the last) 
edition of PC-SIG's CD collections. The guide was published as a 
catalog book (not included) but most of the categories on the disk are 
easy enough to figure out, and the programs themselves usually have 
README files embedded somewhere in the list.

To use this collection, just unzip and dump the files somewhere. The 
big .zip file is a complete collection of everything on the CD. Don't 
pay any attention to the install program in the root directory, I have 
no idea what it will do with a modern operating system. Other than 
that, simply navigate to the folder of choice, pick a "disc," unzip to 
a directory, (attempt) to run the old DOS (or Win3.1) program contained 
within, and be amazed*
