Fix this textVMUG’s Shareware Catalogue is now as
Fix this textclose as your desktop!
Fix this textThe second edition of VMUG’s
Fix this textShareware catalog on disk, Explor-
Fix this texter, was released last month.
Fix this textIt provides an excellent guide to
Fix this texthundreds of tried and proved PD
Fix this textand shareware programs. Many of
Fix this textthem were reviewed in VMUG News
Fix this textup to the end of 1993, and have
Fix this textsince been added to Explorer as
Fix this textpart of the upgrade.
Fix this textIt comes on an easy-to-navigate
Fix this textHyper Card stack, with an ac-
Fix this textcompanying printed guide to help
Fix this textyou get started.
Fix this textNick Crook, who prepared the
Fix this textExplorer software catalogue, ex-
Fix this textplained, “Amongst the new features
Fix this textin this stack is a new Font section
Fix this textthat will allow you to see the entire
Fix this textalphabet of a particular font, the PD
Fix this textfrom 1993 and the three new cat-
Fix this textagories, Apple Software, Demos and
Fix this textUpdates. There has been
Fix this texta vast increase in the
Fix this textGames category.
Fix this text“Although we have
Fix this texttested all the PD listed in
Fix this textthis stack there are obvi-
Fix this textous limitations. What
Fix this textmay work well for a re-
Fix this textviewer running a Mac SE
Fix this textwith a few extensions
Fix this textmay not work with a
Fix this textQuadra 840 AV, let alone
Fix this texta Power Mac.”
Fix this textAlmost all the software has been
Fix this texttested with System 7.0 or 7.1, so
Fix this textVMUG is confident that these pro-
Fix this textgrams work on most configurations.
Fix this textA large number of programs which
Fix this textdid not perform adequately or
Fix this textcorrectly were discarded.

Fix this textNick said, “Please let us know
Fix this textExplorer Shareware Catalog interface
Fix this textwhat you think of the stack whether
Fix this textit is good, bad or indifferent. We are
Fix this textparticularly interested in any im-
Fix this textprovements that you would like to
Fix this textsee. You can bring them along to
Fix this textmeetings or send them to the club
Fix this textvia our address.”
Fix this textThe stack is packed with useful
Fix this textinformation on a whole range of
