│ ABOUT THIS PROGRAM │
└───────────────────────┘
BACKGROUND:
-----------
This program, first released in 1990, has been updated quar-
terly each calendar quarter since then. It was written, and
is researched and updated on a weekly basis by Michael D.
Jenkins, CPA and attorney, with a new version released each
calendar quarter. In addition to providing constantly up-
dated tax, business, and legal information for small busi-
nesses, the program itself is under almost constant revision
and expansion, to make it ever-easier to use and more useful
to you, the small business owner or adviser.
Mr. Jenkins, a graduate of the Harvard Law School, former-
ly was a tax attorney with a large San Francisco law firm
noted for its expertise in venture capital matters.
Mr. Jenkins is also a Certified Public Accountant, and
practiced for over 4 years as a tax CPA with two of the
"Big Six" international accounting firms, in Los Angeles
and Honolulu, as well as being a manager and later a tax
partner for several years with a large local CPA firm in
the San Francisco area. He also spent several years prac-
ticing as an economics and business consultant in L.A. and
Washington, D.C., with the consulting firm and private
"think tank," Economics Research Associates. At present,
he authors a series of business "how-to" books and runs a
small software company, Ronin Software, which publishes this
program and another shareware program, the financial take-
over game/simulation, "Wall $treet Raider."
This program has received very favorable reviews in PC WORLD
Magazine in a 1993 cover article that selected it as one of
only 24 "instant payback" software programs, that would more
than pay for themselves almost immediately. It was again
chosen and reviewed very favorably in a 1994 PC WORLD cover
article that selected Small Business Advisor as one of "the
best of business shareware" programs. More recently, it
received rave reviews ("...superb all-in-one information
source...") in a full-page article in the March, 1995 issue
of The COMPUTER SHOPPER.
RELATED BOOK SERIES:
--------------------
Mr. Jenkins is the principal author of the book "STARTING
AND OPERATING A BUSINESS IN @STATE."
He is also author or coauthor of 50 other similarly-titled
books, one for each of the states (plus the District of
Columbia), all of which are published by Oasis Press (a di-
vision of PSI Research, of Grants Pass, Oregon -- a leading
publisher of business books and software).
Most of these 275-to-300-page how-to manuals are partially
coauthored by local experts in the respective states (the
local offices of the accounting firm of Ernst & Young, in
some 30 states), and together have sold nearly a million
copies nationwide since the initial book in the series,
"STARTING AND OPERATING A BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA" (now in
its 14th annual edition) first appeared in 1981.
We were honored that this book series was chosen in 1994
by INC. MAGAZINE as one of the 6 "winners," out of all the
hundreds of small business books INC. reviewed, in a cover
article entitled, "IN SEARCH OF THE SMALL BUSINESS BIBLE."
A subsequent review in the NATIONAL PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT (Sept.
1994 issue) said that the Starting & Operating a Business
series of books is: "...probably THE MOST USEFUL small
business self-help book available on the market...."
The National Small Business Journal, based in Atlanta,
noted recently that our Georgia book edition was the number
1 selling small business book in Atlanta, in a monthly
listing provided by the Barnes & Noble bookstore chain.
