PERSONALITY ANALYSIS SYSTEM
   PAS is our highly-accurate, no-nonsense program that is designed to
help the individual better understand his own personality and those of
friends, acquaintances and loved ones. PAS encourages open
communication between adults and teens, helping to bridge the
"generation gap".    It is valuable as a personal communications tool
between friends, marriage mates, business acquaintances and any other
relationship where personality is a strong influencing factor.  PAS
also offers a "job match" system which will help  you to determine the
correct job for your personality.
   PAS works in several ways:
   PAS IS ACCURATE.  The accuracy will astound you; people find it
amazing.
   IMPROVE YOURSELF.  PAS helps you know yourself by describing your
strengths, motivational factors and demotivational factors.  You can
use your strengths and build them to your advantage.
   JOB MATCH helps you to determine whether or not a job fits in with
your basic personality.  Is the environment one that will encourage
you to work and motivate you to produce your best?  Will it allow you
to use your personal skills to the utmost?    Regis 95.oo

inventory system, but has been put off by the complexity and high
prices of other packages.  ACR can be interfaced with our AMAZING
BOOKKEEPER package for a fully-functional system.

secrets cannot be deciphered by end users and allows games to be
"linked" so your adventures can be of any length.  If you design
adventure games, GAMESCAPE is a must-have !
   Even if you don't want to write games, Gamescape is an excellent
system for learning basic programming principles.  If you've had

BLADDER BEASTS, SLURPERS, AIR SQUIDS, and above all, the deadly PUN
PALM (really, we're not kidding.  That Pun Palm is a pain...  We're
just not frond of it at all).  ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO
BEER is an adventure gaming must have.
   COMPU-NERD is a tongue-in-cheek program that tells you if you have

EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Rated in Compute! Magazine as "One of the World's Best 101 Programs !"
   Know who it is that you are hiring.  The Employee Management System
is a highly-accurate "personality management" program.  EMS helps you
know what motivates your employees and will enable you to reduce
advertising and interviewing costs.   Reduce employee turnover by
correctly matching employees to the work environment.  EMS is an
amazing "blow your socks off" program that can significantly reduce
your personnel costs!
   REDUCE  EMPLOYEE  TURNOVER.     Employee turnover is extremely
expensive.  It reduces production and increases internal friction.
Use the EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM to:
   HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE.  Every job has its own "ideal personality".
Would you place a quiet, thoughtful person out in the sales field, or
does that job require a self-motivated go-getter?  EMS evaluates the
personality needs of any job according to your specifications.  Then
it will instantly tell you which of your applicants matches that job
requirement.
   KNOW THE WORK PERSONALITY of the applicant in a matter of minutes.
Discover the positive work traits, decision making methods, stamina
level, management methods, and performance characteristics of any
employee/applicant in less than five minutes.
   KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR EMPLOYEES.  EMS tells the MOTIVATIONAL and
DEMOTIVATIONAL factors for each employee.  This will help the manager
know how to motivate an employee, to make that employee happy, and
also how to avoid demotivating that person.
   REDUCE ADVERTISING & INTERVIEWING COSTS.     EMS keeps track of all
employees and job applicants so that when a position opens, applicants
can be matched to the job immediately, without having to repeat the
expensive hiring process.
   The Employee Management System is an accurate and amazing answer to
the task of hiring employees and then keeping them happy once they are
hired.                     Regis 95.oo

==============================================================
EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5
   ABSOLUTE POWER.  EMS5 is our incredible next generation management
program.  It includes everything featured in our basic Employee
Management System package, then adds the following features:
   STRESS EVALUATION SYSTEM.  Stress can be very detrimental to your
business.  Excessive stress in employees causes irritation, loss of
production, and eventually loss of that employee.  EMS5 shows you key
areas of potentially harmful stress so that you can help your employee
overcome that stress before it becomes a business liability.
   PERSONNEL DATABASE SYSTEM lets you track important employee/
applicant information.  Define your own information requirements and
design reports according to your needs.  Keep records of any employee
information you want:  vacation and sick leave, work experience,
personal and family information, job skills, and much more.  PDS ties
in to the Personality Evaluation Program to provide you with extensive
reference capabilities.  Do you want to locate all applicants in your
files that live within your city limits, are age 18-34 and have
outgoing personalities?  With PDS you can do this and much more.
   COST EFFECTIVE.  The EMS line of programs provides versatility and
power at a low cost.  Unlike many other programs of this nature, there
is only a single, one-time fee.  There are no "per report" charges, no
additional costs.  EMS was written specifically for the business
environment.  It is not an "adapted" psychological program.  It does
not  "pull skeletons out of the closet".   EMS will save you money,
make your business more productive, and improve employee/management
relations.  Let us demonstrate EMS to you.  We think you'll be amazed.

   The EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5 is a powerful business package,
yet is very easy to use.  It offers you the benefits of:
   *PERSONALITY EVALUATION       *STRESS ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT
   *PERSONNEL DATABASE           *APPLICANT TO JOB MATCHING
   *IMPROVED INTERVIEWING        *DESIGNING WANT ADS
   *EMPLOYEE TRACKING            *EMPLOYEE/APPLICANT HISTORY
   ...and more.
   Like standard EMS, this program has NO RUN-TIME or REPORT charge.
This makes EMS5 a very cost-effective business investment that will
more than pay for itself the first time it helps you improve employee
relations.  EMS5 is more expensive than EMS, but our clients agree its
advanced features are worth every penny.  Regis $495.

=============================================================

=============================================================
KEEPING TRACK Information Management System
also includes the AMAZING FILE CABINET and  AMAZING ADDRESSER
   KEEPING TRACK is the fastest, easiest to use information management
system you will ever see.  Think of it as an index card file on
caffeine.  It offers two modes:   a "free form" mode, which means that
it requires no advanced planning, no structure, no programming, no
layout.  The second "set form" style allows you full power over the
layout and report formation of your data.  Either system will allow
you to enter information and then locate it instantly by entering any
word or phrase.  Fantastic!
   AMAZING FILE CABINET is our "flat-form" database system that allows
you to design specific data layouts and then "fill in the forms".  It
is terrific for club membership tracking or any type of consistent-
form data requirements.  Also includes custom report generation
ability (design and print your own reports).
   AMAZING ADDRESSER is a very easy to use mailing system.  Print to
single address labels, three-across address labels, or envelopes !
Regis: ALL THREE for $95.oo.    Addresser alone: $25.oo

==============================================================
The 7-Day Computer Learning Course
Also includes the NOTEABLE MUSIC COURSE
   Is your computer confusing to you?  This is probably because you do
not understand DOS, the Disk Operating System.  DOS is the heart of
your computer.  Trying to use a computer without knowledge of DOS is
like trying to build a house without a foundation.  7-Day teaches you
how to use DOS in easy-to-understand, non-technical language (we speak
English).  This wonderful course will have you understanding your
computer in one week (or less) by way of its hands-on approach.
   NOTEABLE is a terrific music course which teaches the notes of the
music scales.  It functions in a competitive game format which
provides higher scores for quick identification of notes. Regis: $25
ea or both for $40

==============================================================
RINGWIELDER
also includes GIANT SPACE SLUG
   RINGWIELDER is an incredible role-playing game that features the
worlds of both fantasy and science fiction.  It was ten years  in the
making.  The full set of rules is included on this disk in text form.
In a "role-playing game" you take on the characteristics of someone
(or something) from the realm of fantasy or science fiction and play
the game as if you are that character.  While RINGWIELDER does use
both the worlds of fantasy and science, the occult and extreme
violence so prevalent in other games are omitted.  This provides a
parents a viable alternative to just saying "no".
   GIANT SPACE SLUG is an arcade game, the classic game of Worms at
supersonic speed.    Regis 35.oo (Ringwielder)    10.oo (Slug)

==============================================================
FUNGAL MAN GAME PACK
Also includes MAROONED AGAIN, FALLOUT and SWINE !
   Prepare for the worst.  Fungal Man is here.  Idol of tens of
people.  You are the intrepid super-hero who has one purpose in life:
to destroy the deadly mutant fungal blobs by trapping them in the
damper pods.  FUNGAL MAN is a "thinking arcade" game which includes
nine scenarios ranging from easy to moderately difficult.  You can
also design your own scenarios and turn them in for entry in our
regular Fungal contest.  Registered users can distribute their
scenarios (no royalty fee) and make millions of dollars (well, a few
bucks anyway)
   MAROONED AGAIN is our highly acclaimed funny, science fiction
adventure game.  Unusual as it sounds, it is logical!  Marooned Again
is also somewhat of a "Nobeer Part 1", and has the same theme of a
stranded astronaut trying to get off an alien planet.
   FALLOUT and SWINE! are excellent arcade and strategy games.  Regis
15.oo (Fungal)  Others 10.oo ea  or  ALL FOUR for $30

   How TRY-THEN-BUY works:  SHAREWARE  is a term which refers to a
method of marketing.  Operational copies of the programs are made
available for a small duplication charge.  You are allowed to try out
the program for a short period of time (usually 10-30 days).  If you
decide to continue using the program, you pay the registration fee.
If not, you discontinue use of the program and pass it on to a friend.
Registration always brings you extras like a printed manual, the
newest version of the program (which often contains additional
programs and features), free telephone support and the legal right to
use the program.  Shareware is a wonderful way for you to examine our
software before buying it, which is a good deal for both of us.  It
means that when you do buy our product you're already satisfied with
it.  That's the way we like to do business.


All program titles and the term TRY-THEN-BUY are TM Dennis Drew.
