            How  many  times have you come across a computer related
       word that you've never seen  before?   How about the words or
       acronyms that you use regularly, but don't really  understand
       what  they  mean?  Most of us have that information in one of
       the  many  books   and   manuals   cluttering   our  desk  or
       bookshelves, but it's somewhat of a pain to  go  looking  for
       it.  Wouldn't it be nice to have all you need in one complete
       package?  If so, look for PC GLOSSARY ver 5.1 and you'll have
       definitions and much needed data anytime you need it.
       
            There  are  other  programs that claim to define all the
       computer terms, but  they  are  mostly  text  files that list
       words and definitions.  These are  fine  if  that's  ALL  you
       want.   You'd have to load your word processor or text viewer
       and do a search for what  you  were looking for.  Not so with
       PC GLOSSARY.  Everything is menu driven and moving around  is
       very intuitive.
       
            Once  the  program is loaded, you are given a variety of
       choices.  The word list  in  on  the  far left of the screen.
       You can cursor up and down to highlight a  word  and  hitting
       ENTER  will  give  you  the  definition.   While  viewing the
       definition, you are shown a  list  of "See Also" words at the
       top of the screen that relate to what you are reading  about.
       You  can  move  to any of these topics by highlighting it and
       hitting ENTER again.
       
            However, the program  goes  beyond just listing hundreds
       of  words  and  definitions.   Context  sensitive   HELP   is
       available  everywhere.   You  can do string searches that are
       very fast.  You  are  given  3  different color combinations,
       however, the default was the one I  preferred.   There  is  a
       "Lookup"   table  that  lists  such  things  as  registration
       information  and  bibliography.   But,  one  of  the handiest
       portions of the program besides the word definitions  is  the
       TABLES option.
       
            The  TABLES  option  list several (17) useful "Reference
       Tables" including such  things  as  ASCII  codes, floppy disk
       specifications, common virus  problems,  and  one  that  even
       lists nearly every DOS filename extension known to man!
       
            PC  GLOSSARY  is  a  complete  program  that has tons of
       information in one convenient  spot.  I highly recommend this
       for anyone, be they beginners or long time  users.   It's  an
       excellent  program  to  pass  out  at  user  group meeting or
       wherever you'd find new users.  Highly recommended!
