J.Q.L. PRODUCT INFORMATION
J.Q.L. WEIGHTS & MEASURES for Windows (14.99 Sterling or 30.00 US Dollars)*
This is the first program J.Q.L. released for Windows* on 1st June 1993. The
program converts weights & measures from one type to another automatically and
is simplicity itself to use.
Weights & Measures 1.1 was reviewed by PC Plus, issue 84, September 1993, who
said of Weights & Measures "..you'll find W&M invaluable", and "..W&M screen
display shows all the units for each mode simultaneously, making it extremely
easy to switch between the individual measurement systems." and "..extremely
well crafted and quite useful". PC Plus gave Weights & Measures a 4 out of 5
value rating and had nothing against the program.
Transend, one of the major UK Shareware vendors said of Weights & Measures 1.1
"..very useful" and "..it is certainly very easy to use".
High praise indeed for a first program for Windows.
Now in version 2, it is even easier to use, has a completely context sensitive
Help, more conversions, is even more accurate than before using, where
possible, conversion factors correct to a minimum seven decimal points!, has
3D and colour which is configurable by the user, the main control is a Tool
Bar which can be placed anywhere on your screen, and uses very little of your
Systems resources - only 10% when every single window is displayed.
Conversions:
++ Area: sq inches, sq feet, sq yards, sq miles, acres, sq centimetres,
sq metres, sq kilometres and hectares.
++ Liquid: UK gallons, UK pints, UK gills, US gallons, US pints, litres,

Reviewed by Robin Lloyd in ODDS ON magazine AUGUST 1994:
"For lo! There's a program that has abolished the humdrum
and will set you free."
".. Of the Australian matches on Saturday July 1 the program
was on the ball.."
".. But I have to confess I can't put my finger on that certain
something that seems to make The JQL Pools Plan tick."
Pools Plan, works with the new "Jackpot" system, the ordinary pools and with
the Australian pools. It requires NO tedious entering of the results (as some
pools systems require), and is simplicity itself to use. Pools Plan predicts
Score Draws, Jackpot Draws, No Score Draws, Away Wins and Home Wins
simultaneously and gives both rankings and probability ratings of a particular
result. The percentages and rankings can be printed out or copied to the
Windows Clipboard.
The Help file is context sensitive and there is a "Hint Line" to help you at
the bottom of the window. The help file also has information on completing
your coupon and how to use the information provided by the program.

J.Q.L. HORSE FORM LITE for WINDOWS (14.99 Sterling or 30.00 US Dollars)*
This is a small Horse Racing Predition program for Windows 3.1 and better.
The first time this program was used on a race it picked three out of the
first four horses home. Not bad for a first test so I included that race in
the Help file as an example.
Horse Form Lite uses the information published in most daily newspapers to
make its predictions, so there is no need to buy a specialist racing paper to
use it, unless of course you want to.
There is no tedious entering of the results of each race, and Horse Form Lite
automatically keeps a record of the Horses' names you have entered - up to a
maximum of 32676. Finding a Horse once it has been entered into the program is
simplicity itself, just enter the first two or three letters of the Horse's
name and it will usually be displayed on the screen for you to select.
Horse Form Lite, frequently picks the winners and sometimes picks the
long-odds winners which everyone has overlooked, it picks the horse most
likely to win, which isn't always the favourite!
It has a context sensitive Help File and hints for the information it requires
which makes it very easy to use. It also has user configurable 3D and Colour,
and will give you a print out of the predictions if so required.
Reviewed by Robin Lloyd in ODDS ON magazine March 1994:
".. the program, which I like very much, gave me three winners out of
five races checked. Evaluation is quick and easy. Latest form is
sensibly combined with earlier placings."

WINDOWS HELP FILES
What is the best method of distributing information to ensure that every
Windows User can read it?
The Windows Help File.
The Help Files are not only useful as a reference files, they can be used as
Tutorials, Reports, Guides, Company Information, Sales Manual, Product Manual
and many more uses where structured information is used or needs to be
distributed. The beauty of the Windows Help File is it doesn't require a host
program, all Windows Operating Systems have it built in. The maximum amount of
space is available on your distribution media for the Help File and anyone
with Windows can read it.
J.Q.L. will be pleased to quote for the compilation of any Windows Help Files
you may require.
