Dear Software Reviewer,
EMERI(TM) came about after many months of frustration while using our Windows
cardfiles. The "Cardfile" application that comes with Windows is very useful
for keeping track of phone numbers and addresses. Using Cardfile is much more
convenient than managing physical business card collections and/or messy
written lists.
Unfortunately, we are considered "part-time Windows users" in that we drop in
and out of Windows all day long, using Windows for some things, and dropping
back to DOS for others. We believe that most "Windows users" are actually
"part-time Windows users."
Throughout the course of an average day, Murphy's Law dictates that whenever a
phone number is needed, we'll be staring at a DOS prompt. Due to the large
number of fonts, groups, network drivers, and other items that Windows must
load up on our machines, it quickly became a hassle to boot up Windows every
time a phone number was needed. Of course, there was no such thing as
"quickly" getting a phone number!
At one point we pondered just how convenient it would be to have a DOS program
which could be used to quickly and easily access our cardfiles from DOS,
without the hassles. EMERI(TM) had been conceived.
EMERI(TM) has developed into a fully functional program designed and optimized
for the quickest and easiest retrieval of cards possible. Please take note of
the following highlights when you review EMERI(TM):
* Auto dialer features better than Cardfiles' own -- EMERI(TM) dials
any number on the card
* As a DOS program, it does not require Windows -- great for laptop
users!
* Partially qualified searches, and case insensitive searches
* Remembers last search for fast re-searching
* Quick Reference help screen
* Fast "pick lists" for moving among multiple cardfiles
* Quick and easy installation and configuration utilities
Please feel free to call if you have any questions or comments. We hope you
enjoy your review of EMERI(TM)!
Sincerely,
Eric G. Robichaud

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. releases "EMERI"
Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. has released EMERI(TM) Version 1.3, a DOS
program for viewing Windows' cardfiles from DOS. This program is a handy,
convenient DOS program that no "part- time Windows user" should be without.
EMERI(TM) provides the complimentary features needed to make the Windows
Cardfile a truly useful product:
* As a DOS program, it doesn't require Windows. Great for accessing
cardfiles on a laptop that doesn't have Windows -- copy cardfiles
from desktop to laptop, and use EMERI(TM).
* Auto dialer features better than Windows' own -- EMERI dials any
number on the card!
* Case insensitive searches
* Partially qualified searches
* Remembers last search for fast re-searching
* Quick Reference help screen
* Fast "pick lists" for moving among multiple cardfiles
* Quick and easy installation and configuration utilities
* User can pre-configure EMERI(TM) so that is "remembers"
settings every time
The Windows Cardfile program offers a great means of organizing phone numbers,
addresses, and other types of information in an index card format, but is
almost useless to "part-time Windows users" -- the majority of users who bounce
in and out of Windows. Whenever in DOS, simply use EMERI(TM) to look up cards
instead of getting frustrated while waiting for Windows to boot, solely to look
up a card.
Coming soon: pre-stocked cardfile databases for use with EMERI(TM), containing
phone numbers of Airlines, Hotels, Car Rental Agencies, etc. across the U.S.
and world.
