For many years, ADC has endeavored to provide high-quality,
low-cost software. Among the vast array of software available for
IBM and compatible computers, Shareware software has consistently
been a leader in delivering true value to the consumer. Therefore,
in addition to the software published and distributed by ADC, the
SOFTWAREVAULT BBS has always offered the best selections from the
Shareware available.
Now, ADC has gone a step further to ensure that the consumer can
obtain the greatest number of quality programs for the lowest cost,
by publishing the SOFTWAREVAULT CD-ROM Library. Along with this
new offering from ADC, the ADC BBS has changed its name to the
SOFTWAREVAULT BBS to emphasize the enormous library of Shareware
programs available over the telephone by modem.
However, for those who want to acquire a very large library of
programs quickly, the CD-ROM Library is the best and most cost-
effective method. ADC has very carefully chosen programs from top
authors to create one of the world's largest collections of
Shareware and public-domain software.
Shareware is a "try-before-you-buy" method of selling software. In
the beginning, Shareware was purchased directly from the author.
The authors were able to avoid the cost of marketing through normal
retail channels and the consumer was able to obtain great bargains.
One drawback, however, was the limited information available to the
public about what software was available. Distributing Shareware
software through computer bulletin boards was the very logical
solution that soon became standard procedure for all Shareware
authors. By allowing programs to be copied from bulletin boards
and shared with few restrictions, Shareware is able to reach a
much greater number of users.
The SOFTWAREVAULT BBS is one of the better bulletin boards bringing
shareware to the consumer. We maintain a good working relationship
with the authors and afford them the chance to present their
software in an electronic marketplace at a greatly reduced cost.
The distribution of Shareware software by CD-ROM is the next
logical progression. It is like downloading thousands of programs
from the BBS at once. The same Shareware rules and requirements
apply, of course, but you receive so many programs at one time that
you can instantly build an impressive software library.
ADC pays a great deal of attention to all of the software it
distributes. All programs uploaded to our BBS are carefully tested
and reviewed to ensure performance and to detect the presence of a
virus. The software is copied to high quality streaming tapes and
our CD-ROM discs are produced using state-of-the-art technology.
And, of course, our technical staff is available to help with
any questions you might have.
From our beginning, ADC has recognized that the consumer is the
very most important link in the chain of successful distribution.
The success of ADC in distributing all of the software it carries
has depended upon listening to, and understanding, the needs of our
clients, and providing solutions when they are needed. The same
is true for our CD-ROM Library. We want to hear from you and learn
what can be improved in the future. Feel free to use all of the
means of communicating with us for this purpose, including leaving
messages for us on our BBS.

Shareware and the Association of Shareware Professionals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(tm)
Association of
Shareware
o
Professionals
The shareware concept makes it possible for you to obtain extremely
powerful software at a price you can afford, and it gives you the
opportunity to try the software before you register.
The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP), is an
organization formed to strengthen the future of shareware. Its
members, all of whom are programmers that subscribe to a code of
ethics, are committed to the concept of shareware as a method of
marketing.
The ASP sets standards for its members and their shareware products
which provide (among other things) that programs produced by ASP
members must be fully documented, non-crippled, and offered with at
least a minimum level of support. It also sets the standards for
shareware disk vendors and provides information to the public
about shareware.
Shareware software is a unique marketing approach which allows
consumers to purchase software directly from the author. This
eliminates costly marketing, promotion, and packaging; allowing
consumers to obtain quality software at a fraction of the
commercial cost. Shareware authors allow their programs to be
copied and distributed with few restrictions. Shareware users are
encouraged to examine a program, copy it, and pass it on to
friends. If users find the software program useful, they are asked
to register with the software author. This usually means paying a
registration fee directly to the shareware author. In return for
this registration fee, "registered users" receive the right to
continue to use the software and added benefits such as full
documentation, technical support, and future updates of the
program.
Registration is the key to success for the shareware concept. If
you try a program and it does not meet your needs, you are not
expected to register. However, if you try a program, like it, and
continue to use it, you should compensate the author with a
registration fee. Registration also insures further development of
the program. Shareware is the "try-before-you-buy" method of
software distribution that will literally save you hundreds of
dollars on software purchases.
American Databankers Corporation, distributor of The SoftwareVault,
is an approved vendor and associate member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does
not provide technical support for members' products. Please write
to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon MI 49422-9427 or
send a CompuServe Mail message to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536 or FAX
616-788-2765.

copy files or programs from The SOFTWAREVAULT CD-ROM Library
providing that no charge is made for copies and all copyrights

NETWORK (LAN) SYSTEM NOTICE:
1. The number of network systems is large and there can be
significant differences between the hardware and software
specifications of each. Therefore, American Databankers
Corporation does not guarantee the compatibility of The
SOFTWAREVAULT Collection on CD-ROM with any particular network
system.
*******************************************************************
Register your favorite shareware programs directly with the author
of the shareware program. These authors work many long hours to
produce and test these programs that are on the SoftwareVAULT
CD-ROM. They have earned the right to be paid for their efforts by
the sweat of their brow.
The registration price for shareware is usually very small ($5.00
- $85.00 US). Registering a program brings with it additional
benefits. In most cases, you will get the latest version of the
program and a printed manual. Most shareware programs are
constantly being improved so when you register, there is a good
chance that you will get a newer version than the one you are
registering. You will also be eligible for technical support
(usually by phone, letter or CompuServe). The registered version
will also be free of any trailers or opening (nag) screens on it,
telling you to register.
If you register a program from outside of the USA, you should mail
the author a US-draft or a bank check in US-Dollars. If the author
accepts Visa or Mastercard, you can simply give your Visa /
Mastercard number and expiration date.
The usual period of time for evaluation of a program before
registering is about 30 days.

All files on The SoftwareVault Collection CD-ROM's are tested for
viruses, using the internationally recognized standard anti-virus
utility, ViruScan, from McAfee Associates.
Millions of computer users and over 16,000 corporations have made
the McAfee anti-viral utilities their choice for virus protection.
ViruScan's advanced detection technology, including
pattern-matching, algorithmic scanning, and validation code
checking, can find even the most challenging mutating and
encrypting (polymorphic) viruses. It consistently finds known and
unknown viruses and their variants, without the "false-alarms" that
have become commonplace with some less-sophisticated virus
checkers.
In the Virus Detection and Protection Category on this CD-ROM, you
will find the complete suite of McAfee anti-virus products;
ViruScan, the virus detector you run from the command-line;
Clean-Up, the virus remover and disinfector; VShield, the
Terminate-And-Stay-Resident (TSR) infection preventer; NetShield,
the Netware-Loadable-Module (NLM) version of ViruScan.

*******************************************************************
American Databankers Corporation is principally a software
publisher. We design, publish and directly support a line of
proprietary software in several categories.
Our software products range from a menu and utilities package
specifically created for the novice to average user to very
sophisticated industrial products created for use by other
programmers to solve specific problems. We design and write
utilities, installation programs and multilingual procedures for
publishers of software in the United States and in several
foreign countries. We also manufacture and distribute The
SOFTWAREVAULT collection of CD-ROM Software.
Our collection of CD-ROM Software is unique because of the very
large number of programs, several thousands, and because no
program is duplicated in more than one collection of programs. In
addition, we provide you with a free copy of The Librarian, a
complete database of all of the files on the CD. You may search on
any subject and when you select a program, the Librarian will
create the necessary directories (if you ask it to), copy the
program from the CD-ROM and unpack the programs and files for you.
The Librarian can also create directory listing text files for any
BBS, or export information to a file in any one of several
different word processing formats, and filter or search by any
subject. The Collections include hundreds of megabytes of fantastic
shareware programs, many of which are better than commercial
programs.
The single most significant distinguishing feature of American
Databankers is the depth of knowledge we maintain for all of the
software we carry. When you telephone our technical support staff,
you speak with an experienced programmer who is familiar not only
with our products, but also with all facets of the complex problems
which beset the industry.
We stand behind every program we carry and we value every one of
our customers. We provide genuine help when you need it and we
offer the same high quality of service to end-users, dealers,
programmers, distributors and OEMs.
We maintain a 24-hour Bulletin Board with separate conferences for
each of our products. In addition to the free software which is
available on the Bulletin Board, information is exchanged by
programmers, dealers and VARs and the Bulletin Board may also be
used to send us a technical inquiry, request assistance with a
special problem or ask for technical support. Our products may also
be ordered by credit card on the Bulletin Board at any time of the
day or night on our BBS, or by phone during business hours.
When you buy, resell or distribute American Databanker's products,
you also receive the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure
satisfaction and performance.
Shareware Authors that wish to have their software approved for any
of our SOFTWAREVAULT Collections should send complete copies of
their programs (uncrippled and as you want them to appear) to:

>>> CREATE A QUIZ <<<
Version 1.2
CREATE A QUIZ is a simple yet comprehensive program that can be
used to create and take multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank
quizzes. This one program can be used by both the teacher and
student. Teachers can create on-screen quizzes that can be used by
students, or create hardcopy quizzes if a printer is available.
Special features:
A) Pop-up menus, mouse support, full line text editing capabilities
make using CREATE A QUIZ simple and fun.
B) Both multiple-choice and fill-in-the blank questions can be used
in the same quiz.
C) Quizzes and/or questions can be printed out in several formats
to meet the needs of both teacher and student. The solutions to
each question can be suppressed or displayed on a printout.
Students can receive an echo printout of each question they take
on- screen. Teachers can review their database of questions by
printing out all the questions or by defining a range (from # to #)
to print.
D) Several command line instructions allow the program to be
"fine-tuned" by a teacher to meet the needs of a student. These
command line instructions can force a student to answer "x" number
of questions before they are permitted to exit the program. Or the
teacher can set up a time limit for the student where after "x"
number of minutes have elapsed the program will quit.
E) Progress charts are kept for each quiz that will record the best
10 students' quiz results. This is an excellent way for a teacher
to track the progress of a student. A separate progress chart is
maintained for each quiz created.
F) Up to 9 students can participate in the same quiz at a time.
Great for contests!
G) Display ASCII text files prior to each question. A full screen
display of a pre-defined ASCII text file can be displayed and
scrolled prior to a question, and then after the user has read the
text file, they will be confronted with a question dealing with
that text.
H) Businesses and organizations can use a command line instruction
that will turn CREATE A QUIZ into a stand-alone display for
customers or prospects. This can make a great advertising tool and
counter display, testing a prospect's knowledge of your product.
The program will even prompt each user for his name, address and
phone number that can be retrieved later for follow- ups.
I) The quizzes that are created can be password protected and
encrypted to prevent students from altering a teacher's questions.
Requirements:
No special requirements are necessary for most computers. A DOS
version of 3.0 or higher is necessary (although it is possible that
some 2.x versions will work, but not guaranteed). The program can
be used on both monochrome and color monitors. A printer is the
only option that is required IF you wish to create quiz printouts.

>>> Integrity Master <<<
Version 1.51
Integrity Master, is the world's most powerful anti-virus, and PC
integrity software. This high performance assembly language program
is written by the author of PC Magazine's PCdata integrity toolkit.
Integrity Master provides function and performance far beyond any
other anti-viral or data integrity software, yet is easy enough for
novice users. Integrity Master features:
1) Integrity Master recognizes known viruses by name and will
describe their characteristics and then guide you through their
removal.
2) It can detect not only existing viruses, but also as yet unknown
viruses. Unlike other programs, which you must constantly update to
keep ahead of the current crop of viruses, Integrity Master
continues to protect you.
3) Unlike other programs, it detects sectors and files which were
damaged by a virus not just those that were infected.
4) Integrity Master understands which files and areas on your disk
are special and provides special specific diagnosis and recovery if
these areas have changed.
5) Integrity Master can reload system sectors on disks which are so
badly damaged that DOS can no longer recognize them.
6) Integrity Master detects any form of file or program corruption,
not just that caused by viruses. This makes Integrity Master a
useful tool to provide PC security, change management and hardware
error detection. Why spend your time merely checking for viruses
when you give your PC a complete check out with Integrity Master?
7) Integrity Master provides easy to use menus with built in help
and the experience of a PC integrity expert through it's Integrity
Advisor(TM) feature.
8) Integrity Master is useful as an aid to PC security. If someone
changes, adds or deletes any of your files you will know.
9) Integrity Master is useful with disk diagnostics. You can run
your normal test programs to check if your disk drive is working OK
right now, but was it working correctly at 3 PM yesterday?
Integrity Master will detect if a disk error damaged some data
yesterday.
10)You just restored your files from a backup. Are all the files
really OK? Integrity Master will tell you.
11)You just deleted *.BAT rather than *.BAK. Integrity Master will
tell you exactly which files you need to restore.
12)Your hard disk is having problems. Now DOS will not even
recognize it as a disk. IM can diagnose and then reload your
partition and boot sectors to "fix" your disk!

>>> HALCYON <<<
dBase File Routines
HALCYON is an excellent set of Turbo Pascal routines for management
of dBase files in a network environment. They work in real or
protected mode under all versions of Object Oriented Turbo Pascal,
including Turbo Pascal for Windows. Halcyon allows creation, use
and updating of multiple dBase .NDX or Clipper .NTX index files in
accessing the dBase III and IV data (DBF) and memo (DBT) file
entries. The simple user interface makes the 'object' part of
object oriented programming transparent. The programmer simply uses
a set of commands similar to the dBase commands to control the file
access. All source is included, and does all of the above using
only Pascal--no assembly routines are used. The use of Pascal does
not mean the routines are slow. On the contrary, the file updates
are FAST, showing what can be accomplished within the optimized and
powerful Turbo and Borland Pascal compiler. Over 25 demonstration
programs are provided to show the power of the HALCYON routines.
This is Shareware from Griffin Solutions. These are the libraries
that we use for the SoftwareVAULT Librarian.

>>> Program Groups <<<
Version 1.10
Tired of the limitations on where folders can be in Windows.
Program Groups elimiates this restriction. Now you can make
sub-groups inside of group icons. This little utility will help you
to organize your windows desktop into a very functional work area.
Instead of having ten or so folders on your desktop each with ten
to thirty programs in them, put folder inside of folders and
organize you work area. Put all you work files in a work folder and
then ahve sub folders for different projects and programs. Since
Program Groups uses standard Program Manager Groups, you can drag
and drop just like the original windows groups into open
sub-folders. With the advanced contorls, you can turn off the
program and all of the sub-folders you have created will be on your
desktop for easy access. While the program does have a little
overhead in getting setup, once installed you will wonder how you
ever got along without it. And best of all, this is FREEWARE!!

>>> SCREEN Thief <<<
SCREEN Thief has been designed to solve a range of problems and
annoyances found with other screen grabbing programs. Many examples
exist, often bundled with a graphic manipulation tool or paint
package but sometimes marketed separately. We reckon that SCREEN
Thief succeeds where the rest fail.
Specific problems that have been solved include loss of colour
attribute information and corrupt palettes plus the awareness of
graphic adapter effects such as horizontal and vertical pixel
panning and split screens. SCREEN Thief easily copes with
non-standard video modes employed by games, such as 320 by 240
pixels in 256 colours. It also takes programmed soft fonts into
full consideration when capturing text mode screens. Indeed, we
believe that whatever the standard VGA graphic adapter is capable
of displaying, SCREEN Thief can capture.
This sophisticated 'total solution' also extends to the hot-key
used to trigger a screen capture. Many programs, particularly
games, prevent capture with lesser grabbing packages because they
steal the keyboard interrupt vector and refuse to pass interrupts
back to previously installed programs. Solutions to this problem
have so far included delayed-action grabbing, which is inaccurate
to say the least and also fails where a program steals the system
timer interrupt used for counting out the delay period.
SCREEN Thief gets around this major problem by secretly
reprogramming the interrupt hardware to a different set of vectors.
When a program steals the keyboard or timer interrupt it no longer
gets first pick, but a fake hardware interrupt generated by SCREEN
Thief's resident code. This technique works in all but a few rare
instances. Another implication is that, with some restrictions,
screens can also be captured under Microsoft Windows even though
SCREEN Thief is a DOS-hosted program.
One further positive feature is that SCREEN Thief creates output
files in any of several common image formats (GIF, TIF, PCX or BMP)
rather than through a proprietary interim file which requires a
second conversion stage before use. When combined with a host of
other configurable options, intelligent image file naming and an
extensive internal help system, you can see that SCREEN Thief is
the ultimate screen capture package for the professional user.
Finally, through absolute use of machine code and clever memory
optimisations, you will find SCREEN Thief to be one of the most
compact Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs you ever load.
It can use EMS memory, Upper Memory Blocks provided by an XMS/UMB
driver or similar and normal system memory to maximum effect.
Typical system memory use amounts to just over 2K. Even when loaded
on a PC with no EMS or UMB memory, requirements can be as low as
9.1K.
System Requirements
SCREEN Thief has a number of important minimum hardware and
software requirements. A VGA graphics adapter, on-board VGA
controller or register-level compatible is essential. SCREEN Thief
cannot work with the MDA, Hercules, CGA or EGA adapters even though
it will successfully capture their equivalent video modes on the
VGA. The host PC needs to be an 80286 or better based IBM AT or
close compatible. A hard disk is not essential but highly
recommended. Finally, MSDOS version 3.10 or higher is essential.
