Addition of a preview option is especially important for anyone who uses
images, icons, or fonts. "You can preview the whole library of images to
find the right one," according to Bruce Kent, product development manager.
"This CD finally makes it possi ble to conserve your disk space and paper,
yet still have all the information you need to make an informed decision,"
said Kent.
All new and updated programs have been reviewed and tested by PC-SIG. Every
program goes through extensive virus checking using the most recent version
of VIRUSCAN from McAfee Associates, and other anti-virus software.
According to Kent, "In the ten ye ars we've distributed shareware, we have
never had a confirmed report of a virus on any of our distributed programs
or CD-ROMs."

*** ICONWAR 1.1 ***
ICONWAR 1.1 (for Windows) is game where you and your
computer opponent stake out territories on a 9 X 9
grid. Then taking turns, you each try to "hit" your
opponent's locations. When you do hit one, you get
another turn, until one of you has taken over all of
the opponent's locations.
When the game begins, you have the option of setting up
from 5 (the default) to 25 territories each. You can also
allow the enemy (the Badrovians) to auto-play (the default)
or you may choose to initiate their turn each time. You can
also disable the sound.
Hardware requirements are the usual for any Windows programs,
but as this game was written in Visual Basic, it also requires
the file VBRUN100.DLL to be present in order to work. This
file has been distributed with the program. You do need a mouse.
Instructions are included within the program but it is not
difficult to figure out and is suitable for almost any age.
Yo will find, though that it may not be as easy as you might
think to win. We have played many games in testing this program,
and nobody ever shut-out the Badrovians.
You should have the following files:
ICONWAR.EXE The main program
VBRUN100.DLL Required to run
READIT.DOC Additional documentation
READIT.COM " " self-displaying
INVOICE.DOC Registration invoice
PRINV.BAT To print invoice
WINSTAL.COM Installation program
INSTALLATION:
We have included a simple installation program which will
copy the needed files to any destination drive and directory
specified. (WINSTAL.COM). To install, insert program disk
(or a back-up) in disk drive. Then change to the disk drive
by typing the drive letter (A, B, C or whatever it's
designation) then Type "WINSTAL (disk drivename) (destination
drivename) (destination directory)" and then Enter. For
example, to install from A: to C: in C:\WINDOWS directory
you would type "WINSTAL A C WINDOWS". See DOS manual for
more information on copying files.
Once you have copied the files, you must go into your
Windows program manager, select NEW, and set the program
up there. The filename is ICONWAR.EXE.
DISCLAIMER:
We offer no warranty for ICONWAR Version 1.1 whether
express or implied, including without limitation any
implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose. We will not be responsible for any
special, incidental, consequential damages, either direct

bears all risks as to the quality and performance of this
software, and in no case shall the liability for any
damages ever exceed the price paid for the software.

disk. Please refer to your DOS manual.
REGISTRATION:
As this is a shareware program, you are permitted to copy
and share it as desired. But, it must be copied in full,
unaltered and no fee may be charged except a nominal copying
fee by distributors.
If you like the program, you should register it with the author.
The registration fee is $10.00, plus if you include an
additional $2.50 for shipping/handling you will be sent the
newest version which includes visual enhancements, many
additional options and other improvements. You will also be
sent a list of other programs.

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.
Outside the U.S.A. call (408) 730-9291 for the name of the dealer in
your country.
