NOTICE BOARD from Cornerstone Software <ASP>
--------------------------------------------
************** ABOUT NOTICE BOARD... *****************
NOTICE BOARD gives you all of the facilities of an office notice board on
the PCs attached to your network, and a menu system, rolled into one. It is
designed to be run as part of the network login so that important notices are
seen whenever users log on.
As well as the key notices which appear automatically whenever the package is
run, it has a simple-to-access menu structure allowing users to browse
through a potentially huge database of further information or run other
software packages. The interface is intuitive and requires no training.
The structure of the notice menus is decided by you, to match your
requirements exactly. The uses are endless, how about these for starters:
Network Shutdown Information
Information about new facilities/software
An internal telephone list
Holidays/Site shutdown dates
Internal vacancies
News
The size, shape and colour of notices is decided by you. The amount of
information which can be stored in each notice is practically limitless.
The combination of a bulletin board and a menu system in one package enables
you to build an extremely user-friendly menu system with 'help notices'
placed amongst the software packages to assist new or occasional users. When
the Notice Board menu system is used to start other software packages, there
is NO memory overhead.
The software was written in the United Kingdom, in Clipper and has been
uploaded and continues to be supported by the author, Chris Tyler, a member
of the Association of Shareware Professionals. The package is in use across
the world, from the USA and Canada, throughout Europe to Australasia, by
everyone from government agencies and international companies, down to
schools and small businesses.
************** WINDOWS... **************
Notice Board is a DOS package, deliberately designed to work with all PCs
and monitor types, so that all users in an organisation see the messages.
In a Windows environment, Notice Board would normally be run following the
network login and before Windows is started. However it is useful to provide
access to Notice Board from within Windows so that users can access the
database of information at any time. For this reason we supply a PIF file
and icon library file along with full setup instructions.
************** THE EVALUATION KIT... **************
A full version of the latest release of the software is available in the same
library, in the file NBxx.EXE. This is a self-unpacking file, ie. you run it
and it decompresses itself into the full set of files which make up the
Notice Board system. The evaluation kit comes with extensive documentation
to help you evaluate the software.
If you have any trouble getting hold of an evaluation kit, phone or write to
the address below and we will send you a copy on floppy diskette.
The software which comes with the evaluation kit is identical to the real
thing, so you can try out the package in the live environment and be sure
that it works. The evaluation kit also comes with a large database of
notices to make the evaluation easier and demonstrate the possible uses.
After 60 days, the evaluation kit introduces its own notice, suggesting that
a license should be purchased. The license provides printed documentation
and a set of updated files which enable the full version to be loaded without
losing any existing notices.
************** THE COST... **************
Each Notice Board license allows the database to exist on one file server and
be accessed by an UNLIMITED number of PCs either directly or indirectly
connected to that file server. The cost of this unlimited use, server
license is an astonishingly low 95 Dollars. The software may be registered
by sending a cheque direct to Cornerstone software, via the Compuserve
Shareware Registration scheme (GO SWREG), or thirdly using any major credit
card via PsL. Full details are given in the documentation whicg accompanies
the evaluation kit.
