PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CAL94E is a straightforward and intuitive program that will assist you
in managing personal information. It does this by providing:
- A calendar / scheduler.
- Storage of names and addresses.
- Storage of quick (brief) notes.
- A calculator.
CAL94E provides a wide variety of support functions to help you create,
maintain, view and print the data that you need on a day-to-day basis.
When did you last change the batteries in your smoke detector?
Do you already have something planned for next Wednesday?
What birthdays are coming up next month?
What is the name and phone number of the plumber who did such good work
for you?
Get control of this information by storing it with CAL94E!
Note that all copies of CAL94E are fully functional - there are no
demonstration or trial copies in existence, and there is no
registered (better) version sent out after registration.
Volume discounts are available - refer to file REGISTER.FRM.
