Eric (and any other shareware author):
 
I too am annoyed when looking at shareware catalogs and collections 
of software on CDs to see that the producers have often mispelled 
the name of programs, included the program several times under 
different names (on CDs), and not bothered to procure the latest 
versions of the software.
 
 
Eric, thanks for sending us the latest version of Forty Theives. Any 
time you or any other shareware authors would like to have your 
software distributed on America Online, BIX, CompuServe, Fidonet, 
GEnie, or Usenet (Sumex), mail me a copy and I will see that it is 
distributed on these networks as well as in the UK, and throughout 
Europe as soon as our Mac software distribution is in place there.
I will also mail you back your diskette loaded with some recent 
shareware programs. We will also publish in our bi-monthly publication
Home & School Mac a comprehensive listing of VALID shareware author 
addresses in our "Shareware Authors Address Book". We wrote several 
hundred authors at least twice to confirm their addresses and to 
offer our services to them. We are catalog all the shareware 
entertainment/education programs (over 1000 programs), reviewing 
some of them, doing compatibility tests on several CPUs, trying to 
get valid addresses of the authors (so people can register them), 
offering discounts ($3.00 off) for people who wish to join our user 
group if they register a shareware program (with a registration fee 
of $3.00 or more), and in July will have a GAMER Project BBS open to 
our members as well as to all shareware authors and commercial 
developer representatives.
 
To have your shareware programs distributed, mail it/them to:
GAMER Project, 15 Everglades St., Kenner, LA 70065
For information about joining the GAMER Project, send a note to the 
same address. Shareware authors can have their programs distributed 
free of charge, have "honorary" access (full access) to the BBS once
it comes online, and receive a 50% discount if they wish to join to
receive our bi-monthly publication along with the disk of new 
shareware (in Compactor format so we can fit more on). Membership is 
$15.00/year, $7.50 for shareware authors).
