Remind Me! keeps you informed of the events in your life BEFORE they
happen, so you have time to prepare for them. It's extremely useful,
very easy to use, and virtually automatic.
Every time you boot your computer you'll automatically be reminded of
upcoming events and how many days until they occur. You'll never again
forget a birthday, holiday or anniversary. This is the most universally
appealing program we have.

Conjecture is truly one of those few games that appeals to people of all
ages and computer experience. It still amazes me the effect this game has
on normally mature individuals. It's the best wheel game around.
Conjecture is one of our most popular programs. Before being released as
shareware Conjecture sold in retail stores nationwide.

easy to use and as a bonus comes with one touch functions for the most

forget what's in a file.

PC-Directory lets you attach 160 character pop-up notes to your filenames.
Use them to describe the contents or status of your files. In addition,
PC-Directory also includes advanced file management functions, rivaling
the best of file managers. It's very fast, powerful and tailored for the
those who don't like waiting around. Includes a TSR and non-TSR version.
You'll come to depend on it.

PC-Images lets you create "pop-up" slide-show "Carousels" from captured
screen images. You can create stand-alone briefings, have your slide-shows
display at the touch of a hot key, or automatically "pop-up" a carousel as
a screen-saver. It includes a screen capture program and a program to
group your pictures into carousels without having to use scripts.

BriteLine highlights the entire cursor line in any of 127 different color
combinations. Makes it a breeze to locate the cursor on your laptop or
applications where you need to find data on the cursor line. And it does
a better job than its $40+ commercial competitor.

Playback is what we call a task automator. It records your keystrokes
(and the delays between keystrokes) and lets you play these "keyfiles"
back at a touch of a key, as a "batch" file, or using the included Menu
program. You can adjust the playback speed, use the keyfiles within batch
files, assign them to hot keys, and even launch them unattended at some
later time.
You can use Playback to automate any repetitive task. You'd be surprised
the different ways people use it. PC-Magazine was so impressed with
Playback they had me write a very toned down version to be one of their
utilities. Try it and you'll see why this is one of our most popular
programs.

Trash-It is the ultimate protection against accidentally deleting
important files. Normal un-delete programs fail for a whole host of
reasons. Trash-It however will always be able to recover a deleted file
because instead of deleting the file it moves it over to a special "trash"
subdirectory where you can easily recover it. And because it operates
transparently you'll never know it's there.. until you need it.
Trash-It has received a lot of acclaim. If you have a hard disk you owe
it to yourself to try Trash-It.

Phone, FAX, or better yet, "Modem-It!"
This is the one you've been hearing about. Modem-It! lets you place
orders faster and easier than using a fax or calling in your order.
You can place orders 24 hrs a day, there's no waiting on hold, no
annoying operators, you can reduce phone time (calls average <15 secs),
and much more. You just select the desired merchant, input the items you
want and press a few keys. It may revolutionize the way you place orders.
You can use Modem-It! to order any of our products. Our Modem-It! phone
number is: (206) 939-2312.

Blink-Off turns off the blinking cursor in text modes and replaces it with
a soothing block cursor the color of your choosing. Easier on your eyes
and your attitude. You set the colors, and can toggle it on and off with
a hot key. There are two commercial programs that do essentially this,
except they want nearly $50!

to-do lists, schedules, flights, auto rentals, lodging, meals, and even

depend on it. Winner of Shareware magazine's "Editor's Choice" award.

Essentially KeyStuff takes a data file generated by one program and
inserts it into another via the keyboard. You can add delays and special
keys (like function and editing keys) to your data files and use them to
automate tasks. Have your computer back itself up unattended at 3 am, or
have your E-Mail collected, printed, and waiting for you when you get
in. "Stuff" the file now, unattended at some later time, or by hot
key. Powerful and flexible.
Registration: $25.00

"Otto" is also a task automator. But unlike Playback which is concerned
with the delays between keystrokes, Otto takes its cues from what appears
on the screen. It excels in automating modem communications. If you have
Compuserve the sample scripts (supplied) can get and retrieve your e-mail,
get the latest news, sports scores, stock quotes, weather, and weather
maps and do all this unattended, at any time! And Otto works with *your*
communications program. Its script recorder creates scripts for you
automatically as you do the task you want to automate.

Each program on this list is user-supported shareware. This means you
get to try it before you buy. It isn't free, or public domain software.
If after a 21 day evaluation period you decide to continue using it then
you are expected to become a registered user. You register by sending in
the registration fee. The fees vary for each program, but I believe
you'll find them to be very reasonable. They are discussed in the
instructions for each program.
We believe our registered users deserve additional benefits. The
benefits vary with each program, however, all registered users get the
latest version of the software, and receive technical support.
Because the programs on this disk with .EXE extensions are shareware,
you're encouraged to freely distribute them to whomever you wish as long
as you don't charge anything for the copies. Only distribute the files
ending with "EXE". Don't distribute the individual "extracted" files.
Professional, quality, software takes time to develop and support. Time
is often money. If users don't register, then quality software developers
won't release their products as shareware. That would be everyone's loss.
If you find a quality piece of shareware it's important you register and
help distribute it. Making user-supported shareware succeed is the only
way I see of countering the trend toward ever increasing software prices.
