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
share ware 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.

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 a 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 the one you are
registering for. 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,

*******************************************************************
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 also 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 (over 10,000) and because no program is
duplicated in more than 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
Collection - over 600 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:

drawing program. It does not support GEM, Corel Draw, Designer,
DXF or EPS files.
Unlike many other paint programs, Desktop Paint 256 features
complete EMS and XMS support. It will handle enormous images...
pictures which unpack into several megabytes... if you have
sufficient expanded or extended memory in your system. Note that
you must have at least 300 kilobytes of EMS or XMS to edit a 640 by
480 pixel picture under Desktop Paint 256.

Using Graphic Workshop, you can have your image files in the
formats that your software wants to use them in, all without
keeping track of numerous utilities. In addition, using the
halftoning and dithering facilities of Graphic Workshop, you can
convert full Color digitized photographs... most notably GIF
files... for use as really excellent black and white clip art,
suitable for inclusion in your documents.
Graphic Workshop will handle image files of any size. It will use
extended or expanded memory if you have some, and disk space if you
don't. It has a fast and easily understood user interface.
Hopefully, it lacks even the merest vestiges of bugs... a likely
story, but we hope so.
Please look for the windows version under "Windows Utilities".

>>> 4DOS - DOS COMMAND SHELL <<<
4DOS is a "flagship" product. It offers you great power while
working at the DOS prompt and in batch files, makes minimal use of
your precious memory, and generally makes life with DOS a whole lot
easier. It works with all versions of MS-DOS/PC-DOS from 2.0 up,
and with DR-DOS. When you purchase 4DOS you'll receive the current
version on 5.25" or 3.5" disk, a typeset-quality printed and bound
manual, and an upgrade to the next major release.
Included in this package is BOOT.SYS. A shareware package which
allows you to choose your system configuration when your computer
boots. It makes managing a variety of configurations (for example,
booting under plain 4DOS, DESQView, or Windows 3), very simple. It
supports multi-level menus, color display, and option selection in
both CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. It is invoked when the system
boots, and does not require a reboot after changing configura-
tions the way some similar programs do.
To use BOOT.SYS effectively you need to be reasonably familiar with
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. BOOT.SYS works with multiple
sets of configuration directives (DEVICE, SHELL, etc.) in your
CONFIG.SYS file. It presents menus allowing you to pick which set
or subset of these directives to execute, and also provides a
program you can run in AUTOEXEC to determine which menu choice was
selected. You use the result returned by this program in IF or IFF
statements in AUTOEXEC.BAT in order to make AUTOEXEC execute the
correct TSRs and other commands corresponding to the choices you
made in CONFIG.SYS. This approach is very powerful when combined
with 4DOS IFF / THEN / ELSE statements.

commands are replaced by easy-to-use command buttons, pop-up
windows and dialog boxes. Running programs is as easy as pressing a
single key or clicking the mouse. Best of all you don't need to be
a programmer to add an item to your menu.
QuikMenu was designed to make using your computer system as easy
and enjoyable as possible. You can use a mouse or your keyboard to
access any menu function. QuikMenu runs in all standard graphics
modes and can operate on most networks that use DOS commands.

>>> HARD DISK DIRECTOR <<<
Hard Disk Director version 4.70 is a combination of four different
programs: DL.EXE, DB.EXE, DA.EXE and DM.EXE
DL.EXE is a full featured shell. It starts off giving you a
directory tree where you can add, delete, move, hide and unhide and
rename directories as well as change drives, search for files and
print a copy of the tree.
Highlighting any directory in DL and pressing "Enter" will show you
a sorted list of the files in that directory. You can edit, view,
copy, rename, print, and resort any single file or group of marked
files. You can also run any program or batch file.
DB.EXE is the file list portion of DL.EXE. You can use DB when you
want to work in a specific directory and have no need for and don't
want to wait for a directory tree. Most of the time, I use DB
instead of typing DIR, to see what's in a directory and to be able
to scroll through it and view files.
DA.EXE is like DB but shows you all the files on a particular
drive. For example, typing "DA" and pressing "Enter" on your C
drive will show you all the files in every directory on your drive
C. You can also add additional drives to the file view.
DM.EXE is a full featured hard disk menu. You can add up to 20
entries to the main menu and have unlimited sub menus of up to 20
entries each. DM can be run from the command line or also popped up
in DL or DB by pressing the slash, "/", key. When running DM from
DL or DB, you can run programs and add the highlighted or marked
files from DL and DB to the command line. In this manner you can
add your favorite archive utility to DM, mark a group of files in
DL or DB, and them pop up DM and run your archive program and add
the marked files to the command line.
Hard Disk Director will run on all IBM compatible PCs running DOS
2.0 or later. This version has been made compatible with many
network drives. However Hard Disk Director does no file sharing or
locking and is not aware of other users on a network, so you will
have to determine its suitability for your network. It can handle
paths of up to nine directories deep. The memory DA requires
depends on the amount of files on the drive that it is reading. A
minimum of 300 kilobytes is recommended for a 20 megabyte drive.

>>> GRAPHIC WORKSHOP FOR WINDOWS <<<
Graphic Workshop is a program for working with computer bitmapped
graphic files. It will handle most of the popular formats:
MacPaint files
PC Paintbrush files with up to 256 Colors
GEM/IMG files of the sort used by Ventura Publisher
GIF files of any size and up to 256 Colors
TIFF files (with some restrictions)
EPS files... encapsulated PostScript... for some operations
WordPerfect graphic (WPG) files.
Microsoft Windows Paint (MSP) files.
IFF/LBM/CE files (from Deluxe Paint, among others)
BMP files (as found in Windows 3)
Pictor / PC Paint (PIC) files... also used by Grasp.
Graphic workshop is a simple, menu driven environment which will
let you perform the following operations on the above file types.
View them.
Convert between any two formats (with a few restrictions).
Print them to any LaserJet Plus compatible or PostScript laser
and many dot matrix printers.
Dither the Color ones to black and white.
Reverse the monochrome ones black for white.
Rotate and flip them.
Scale them
Reduce the number of Colors in them and do Color dithering.
Sharpen, soften and otherwise wreak special effects on them.
Crop them down to smaller files
Adjust the brightness and Color balance of the Colored files.
Capture Windows screens or portions thereof.
Using Graphic Workshop, you can have your image files in the
formats that your software wants to use them in, all without
keeping track of numerous utilities. In addition, using the
halftoning and dithering facilities of Graphic Workshop, you can
convert full Color digitized photographs... most notably GIF
files... for use as really excellent black and white clip art,
suitable for inclusion in your documents.
Graphic Workshop will handle image files of any size. It will use
extended or expanded memory if you have some, and disk space if you
don't. It has a fast and easily understood user interface.
Hopefully, it lacks even the merest vestiges of bugs... a likely
story, but we hope so.
Graphic Workshop will drive your monitor and print through the
Windows hardware drivers. If you have screen and printer drivers
for Windows, you have them for Graphic Workshop for Windows.
Graphic Workshop will run on any system which is capable of running
Windows 3.0 or better. Its ability to deal with large files is
limited by the amount of free memory in your system. Note that
unlike the DOS version of Graphic Workshop, Graphic Workshop for
Windows cannot use virtual memory.

>>> 4PRINT PRINTED PAGE FORMATTER <<<
4Print version 4.1 is a paper-saving utility for HP LaserJets,
DeskJets and compatible. 4Print prints two or three fully readable
pages of text sideways across the page, and by printing on both
sides, it can yield four, six, or even more pages of text on each
sheet!
4Print allows programmers to view four pages of source code at a
time, writers to read four pages of text, and spreadsheet and
database users to print wide reports all the way across the page.
4Print's reduced paper consumption means lower paper costs and less
shelf space taken up for storing printouts, and it's also good for
the ecology!
New with version 4.1 of 4Print, is the companion utility, 4Book,
which makes it easy to produce handsome booklets. Other new
features include printing 1-4 columns of text, variable number of
lines per page, automatic line numbering, compression of excess
blank lines and page breaks, intelligent word wrap, improved
DeskJet and LaserJet- compatible support, reverse printing options
to eliminate the need for paper-shuffling, and support for A4
paper. An optional Windows interface is also available.
