Lately I've seen a number of references to PC-SIG. What is it, and
where do I get more information on it?

Mostly my references, so to clear up a few things:

PC-SIG   =  PC Software Interest Group

Address 1125 Stewart Ct., Suite G
        Sunnyvale CA 94086
	(408) 730-9291

They collect public domain software, catalog it, and sell it for $6/volume.
(A volume is usually a single-sided disk but can be a double-sided disk, in
which case it is designated with a D.)

They are up to about 230+ volumes. I own 1-198 personally and on behalf of 
several users groups. I got these via the National Public Domain Software
Center (impressive name, relatively small operation), which in addition to
PC-SIG handles several other Public Domain libraries, both for the PC and
the CP/M and Apple.
	NPDSC - 1533 Avohill Drive
		Vista CA 92083
		(619) 941-0925
and of course lastly, since I do have 198 volumes of PD software, I've been
distributing it for ~cost. ($5/disk - that's disk, not volume - or $2 + your
disk). I'll send a list of what I (and by implication, PC-SIG) have for 62
cents or 40 cents and a SASE.

Questions? I'll be here awhile.
