Slideware/sent out/share away

In the sentence

"The case study in the slideware I sent out last week demonstrates it.

Share away !"

I have 3 questions:

1) is slideware the same as a presentation with normal slides?
2) is sent out interexchangable with "sent over" or simply "sent you" (or maybe sent to you?)
3) what's the meaning of "share away!"?

Thank you so much MrMicawber for your helpful answers.
two more things however:
as for (2): is sent out then the same as sent (to) you being you 2nd person of plural? and the same as sent over?

as for (1) it seems a powerful online dictionary you're using... would it be possible for you to "share away" ?

Hi VMG,

As for (2)-- no, not necessarily 'sent to you (all)'; just distributed generally is all 'sent out' implies. 'Sent over' means sent from one place to another specific place: 'I sent it over to the Tokyo office'.

As for (1)-- I usually use the most powerful dictionary I know online: it's called Google Search.
