never had a confirmed report of a virus on any of our distributed programs
or CD-ROMs."

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.
Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors. With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.
For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members. Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category. Our library of
shareware contains over 2700 titles divided into 120 logical categories.
Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect. As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.
PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.
Quality and support - guaranteed. All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free. We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.
Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.
Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.
If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.

Shareware Magazine has distinguished itself as the only internationally
distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.
Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement. The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.
Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.
Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.
Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.
And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.
Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore. In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
opportunities for discount purchases from PC-SIG.
To Order, in the U.S.A.: Call 800-245-6717 and ask Customer Service.

Dunjax (D.EXE), and Navjet (N.EXE). You must have a VGA graphics card in
order to run them. Complete on-line help is included for each program.
Simply type "S", "D", or "N" to begin.
Silmar is a game in which you guide adventurous heroes through an imposing
series of labryinths. You must seek both treasure and improvement of your
character to reach your goal, the bottom level of the dungeons of Silmar.
Trying to stop you will be the creations of the dungeons-- hideous creatures
of all sorts. These have various powers, all designed to render your character
deceased.
Silmar consists of 3 volumes:
1. THE DUNGEONS OF SILMAR: (included in this package)
This is the only volume that is shareware.

Journey to the age of conjuration to rid the land of Thralya of that
which now holds dominion over it! This volume has an all-new set of
spellcasting characters to use. In fact, everything is new: new items,
monsters, and special encounters! The action now unfolds in multiple
settings, as well!
3. THE FORWARD TERMINUS: (not included here)
Travel onward to final age of the trilogy! Seek your arch-enemy through
30 more levels with all-new settings, enemies, items, and encounters to
discover! The challenge is heightened as you guide the most powerful

In Dunjax, you are an astral explorer whose ship has crashed on an
uncharted planet! After awakening from unconsciousness, you have found
your ship pillaged by strange lifeforms. Chiefly missing is a propulsion
device that powers the engines of your ship. Donning your gravity boots
and ion rifle, you have tracked the beings to a cave set into a nearby
mountain range. You must retrieve your stolen part from these fiends to
get off the planet and report your discovery to others!
In Navjet, the dictator of an enemy country has gained possession of nuclear
weapons and is planning to use them against your homeland! You must pilot a
series of attack aircraft against the defenses of his country to find the
