The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM, winner of the Optical Publishing
Association's Best Consumer Product Award, has added a hypermedia
interface that makes it easy to find and download any type of program
you could want. The WordCruncher text retrieval program has also been
implemented to assist you insearching this vast collection.
This CD-ROM contains over 3700 fully functional shareware programs, each
with a detailed review. The 12th Edition has added over 300 new programs
and over 500 updates since the release of the 11th Edition. The
collection is always kept current and now contains over 70 megabytes of
Windows 3.0 and 3.1 applications, fonts, icons, games and wallpaper
files.
The range of software is phenomenal! There are huge assortments of
games, everything from adventure games with full SVGA and SoundBlaster
support to favorites like Klondike, Chess and Othello. Spreadsheets,
databases, wordprocessors and graphics programs are instantly available
and there are literally hundreds of unique and specialized programs that
will save you time and money. This amazing collection will help you get
a handle on all your business and home accounting and also teach your
children about zoology.
Each of the more than 3700 programs has a one-line description for quick
reference, Just pick one of the 13 software categories and a subcategory
to begin browsing for a program that interests you. You might choose the
Games Category, where you can pick from 12 subcatgories including
Adventure, Arcade, Cards and more. A mouse click (or keyboard stroke) on
the program title takes you to a detailed description of the program.
you can immediately download the software to your hard or floppy drive,
and in many cases view a screen shot.
You can find any program in the collection quickly and easily by using
the search button. When you are in a program category just type in the
title of the program and you will be taken to the description of that
program. The popular WordCruncher text retrieval program has been added
to allow searching every description for any word within that
description, not just in the title or keywords chosen by someone who
thinks differently than you do. The WordCruncher is ideal for finding
programs which perform a specific function, just try searching for
"split", "math" or "subtract". Or switch to the Disks section where you
will find an alphabetical list of all the programs which can be searched
by program title or disk number.
Everyone has their favorite programs and we're no exception. Our 44
favorite programs can be run immediately. No downloading is necessary,
all you do is click on the word "RUN" in the program description and
you'll be working or playing with top notch software right on the CD.

ever thought possible. We are sure that you will find a multitude of
programs to your liking on the P-SIG Library on CD-ROM.

Finally, 368 of the most useful, popular, important shareware programs
have been put together on one CD. No matter what your need, it's on The
Essential Home & Business Collection. Everything from Administration to
Windows software is here.
The Essential CD incorporates the WordCruncher text retrieval system.
Every program on the disc is indexed by title, filename, PC-SIG disk
number, and every word in the program description. A new utility, Narc,
is implemented so you can look at the program files and the author's
on-line documentation without having to first copy the program to your
hard disk. By using WordCruncher and Narc, you can quickly find the
program you want and review it to be sure, without ever having to run it
from your hard disk.
If you've got a CD-ROM player at home and want to get more use of it and
your computer, or if you're trying to avoid purchasing another Nintendo
cartridge, or if you just enjoy looking at new software, you need The
Essential Home & Business Collection.
System Requirements:
IBM PC/XT/AT PS/2 or compatible with 384K memory DOS 3.1 or higher and

MouseWarp Version 1.5
(C) Copyright 1992 TOGGLE BOOLEANS
All rights reserved.
Features
--------
MouseWarp is a multi-purpose Windows mouse enchancement utility.
With Mouse Warp, your meek mouse assumes greater abilities
such as:
- Changing your mouse pointer into various different shapes
which make it more visible on laptops and high resolution
monitors.
- The selection of either right-handed or left-handed
mouse pointers for the default pointer or any of the
enhanced cursors provided by Mouse Warp.
- Blinking after several seconds of mouse inactivity so when
you come back to your computer you can find the mouse
instantly.
- The ability to move the mouse, in *any* application,
by using the keyboard arrow keys while holding the
Control and/or Alt keys.
- The ability to wrap around the edges of the screen so
if you go off the left side of the screen, you come
back in on the right side.
To select different mouse pointers or choose a left handed
mouse pointer, select the Mouse Pointer entry from the
MouseWarp system menu. You will be presented with views of the
different cursors available.
From the Preferences dialog box you can choose to enable
blinking, keyboard mouse movement or mouse wrapping.
With blinking enabled, the mouse will start to blink if you
do not move the mouse for two seconds. This makes it easy
to find the mouse if you get up from the computer and
come back.
When the keyboard mouse is enabled, you can move the mouse
cursor solely from the keyboard. To move the mouse hold down
the Control key and press the cursor arrow keys. This will
move the mouse ten pixels in the direction you pressed. For
fine movement, hold down the Alt key instead and for huge
jumps across the screen, hold down both the Control and
Alt keys at the same time. This can be handy on laptops or
for precision graphics work.
Mouse wrapping enables your mouse to wrap around the edges of
the screen and come back in on the other side. This can be
really handy when playing Solitare!
Mouse Warp will remember your settings from one Windows session
to the next so the next time you run it, you won't have to make
the selections again.
If you are running Windows 3.1, place MouseWarp in your Start
Up folder and it will automatically load every time you start
Windows with all your favorite settings enabled. If you use
Mouse Warp just for the enhanced cursor shapes you can setup
Mouse Warp to automatically exit after it sets the new mouse
shape so it won't clutter up your desktop.
To do so, select the MouseWarp icon and pick Properties from
the Program Manager's File menu. At the end of the Command
Line entry, add "/Q" (don't add the double quotes) and then
click on OK. Note that all other MouseWarp features will be
disabled if you do this. If at a later date you want Mouse Warp
to stay on the desktop, just remove the "/Q".
MouseWarp Version 1.5 is shareware. It may be copied and
distributed freely under the following conditions:
- No modifications are to be made to MouseWarp or this
documentation.
- This file must be distributed with the MouseWarp program.

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 3500 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.
