The Year in Shareware
Here they are…120 shareware packages from December 1995 to
December 1996. If we reviewed it, it's on this CD. Of course,
many of these programs have been updated and upgraded since we
last took a look at them. But don't fret. We've already gone out
and grabbed the latest versions (whenever possible) for you. Plus,
if you have Access to the World Wide Web, we've provided the addresses
to many of the Shareware maker's homepages, so you can keep tabs
on later updates yourself.
