This newsgroup was created as a forum for shareware authors to discuss 
issues relevant to shareware programs, FROM THE PROGRAMMERS POINT OF
VIEW.  It is intended to be an area where shareware authors can discuss 
programming, marketing, distribution, and generally exchange information 
related to creating shareware software.

The discussion is not limited to programming per se. As a matter of
fact, you will probably find a better technical programming discussion
in one of the programming language or operating system newsgroups, but
your programming questions are also welcomed here.

You can find a lot of additional information and lists of other
newsgroups in an excellent periodic post by Prof. Timo Salmi (University
of Vaasa, Finland) which is appropriately titled:
