EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Rated in COMPUTE Magazine as "One of the
World's Best 101 Programs"
    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

AMAZING TUTOR 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.  AMAZING TUTOR
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 a very short period of time 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.

PERSONALITY ANALYSIS SYSTEM
    PAS is a 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.  It is the "personal" version
of our popular Employee Mangement System.  It 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?  PAS uses the same basic
"engine" as our popular Employee Management System, but the report
produced is focused toward personal lifestyles.
    PAS encourages open communication between adults and teens,
helping to bridge the "generation gap".
    PAS is valuable as a personal communications tool between friends,
marriage mates, business acquaintances and any other relationship
where personality is a strong influencing factor.   Regis 95.oo
==============================================================
EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5
    ABSOLUTE POWER.  EMS5 is our incredible next generation
personality 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.

Our excellent game selection...
==============================================================
ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO BEER
also includes  COMPU-NERD
    NOBEER is an incredibly funny science fiction adventure game that
is, astounding as it may seem, logical.  It was created with the
GAMESCAPE adventure development system.  In NOBEER, you are an
astronaut who has crash landed on an alien planet (again).  Beware the
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
the dread maladies Computerus Nerditis or Bozoitis-Jerkonus.  Are you
a computer nerd?  Find out today!         Regis 10.oo ea
==============================================================
GAMESCAPE GRAPHIC
    GAMESCAPE is a powerful program that enables you to write and
distribute your own graphic adventure games.  Gamescape contains an
"adventure engine" that allows you to describe locations and rooms,
objects, recognizable words, messages, and occurrences that happen
within the game.  You can also include sound, music, and any of the
standard IBM special graphics characters (terrific for mapping).
Gamescape encodes information so your game secrets cannot be
deciphered by end users, and allows games to be "linked" so your
adventures can be of any length.  It provides you the ability to
design incredibly detailed and large adventure games with great ease.
Once the game is finished, registered users are allowed to distribute
the games with no royalty fee-- the initial registration is all that's
required.
    Even if you don't want to write games, Gamescape is an excellent
system for learning basic programming principles.  If you've had
trouble figuring out how to program your computer, Gamescape may be
the link you need; it is very easy to learn and use.
    The registered version of Gamescape now has the ability to include
high-resolution, color graphics in your games, to make them more
marketable than ever before!

==============================================================
RINGWIELDER
also includes GIANT SPACE SLUG
    RINGWIELDER is an incredible non-computer role-playing game that
features the worlds of both fantasy and science fiction.  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 viable
alternative to those who are offended by such things.  RINGWIELDER is
easy to play and fast-moving.  The rules are easy to understand, but
interesting enough to hold the interest of even the most advanced
gamer.  RINGWIELDER was ten years in the making.  The entire rule
section is contained within this disk, along with an offer to obtain
the official, collectors-item set and club membership.
    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
quarterly 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.

    How TRY-THEN-BUY works:  SHAREWARE is a term which refers to a
method of marketing.  Fully-working demonstrations 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 must register (according
to Federal law).  If not, you discontinue use of the program and pass
it on to a friend.  Registration usually brings you extras like a
printed manual, the newest version of the program (often containing
extra features), full telephone support and the right to legally 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.
