From my earlier posting: - >I don't know if this helps at all, but there is one which might be - >dupped "The Shareware Magazine", that is PC-SIG's magazine. I think - >(one would have to check) that it can be subscribed to. (Personally - >I receive it on a regular basis as a courtesy since I have programs - >in PC-SIG.) A user asks me by email: - I would appreciate subscription information about this - magazine because I have written a couple very good strategy - games that I would like to get into circulation. I'll (also) post the answer for all users to see in order to save the work of rewriting the same information for several users. I'll quote from the magazine. The usual disclaimer applies. "Shareware Magazine is published bimonthly at 1030-D East Duane Ave., Sunnywale, CA 94086, USA. PC-SIG membership is $20, and includes s subscription to Shareware Magazine for one year (6 issues)." Please also let me put forward the information that although we deliberately limit the number of games we make available at garbo.uwasa.fi anonymous ftp archives, we are interested in PD and shareware games with educational value. ...................................................................

The PC-SIG magazine is definitely worth browsing. It is generally available anywhere where a master copy of the PC-SIG software collection is kept. I read it in my company's technical library. It doubles as an update to their annual catalog. Some of the articles seem to be oriented toward an audience of potential shareware authors: interviews with successful shareware personalities, articles on what it takes to be successful, etc. /Dave
