NFL FORECASTER $20.00 DOS and Windows versions
-----------------------------------------------
To predict the winners of football games, you must rank the
opposing teams. Many elements may be taken into account, but only
two things really matter: (1) a team's win/loss record which
depends upon (2) the number of points scored by and against that
team. USING ONLY SCORES, NFL Forecaster assigns each NFL team
rankings, and uses them to predict winners and point spreads. It
only takes 10 minutes a week to enter the scores and obtain
forecasts!
Over the last 12 seasons, Forecaster declared only 10% of all
games too close to call (even). It attempts to make a forecast
for every game, not just "5-star specials" or "this week's picks."
Of the 2,412 games it pedicted winners for, it was correct 62.5%
of the time and it correctly predicted the spread 58.7% of the
times. Over the last 5 years it has correctly predicted the winner
63.2% of the time and the spreads 59.7% of the time.
You are guided step-by-step through the process of entering
scores, forecasting spreads, saving data, viewing rankings and
printing reports. Forecaster is highly configurable and you can:
open 6 different view windows; print 5 reports; print or view the
NFL schedule; sort the rankings 8 ways; use team or city names.
There are functions for non-scheduled and playoff games.
Both versions are very easy to use; they include installations
programs, status line hints and context-sensitive on-line help.
NFL Forecaster for Windows will run on any computer system capable
of running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later with 760K free disk
space. NFL Forecaster for DOS requires DOS 3.0 or later, 384K RAM
and 724K disk space.
NFL Forecaster for Windows is completely compatible with Windows
95, although it is not a 32-bit program. A Windows 95 version of
NFL Forecaster will be released sometime in 1996.

TextStyle $20.00
----------------
Word processing programs do not let you take full advantage of the
capabilities of TrueType fonts. Using TextStyle, you can create
many eye-catching effects: 3-D and floating text; text as waves,
spirals, arcs, wheels, spokes, and geometric shapes. Text can be
displayed down the screen with the characters right-side-up.
Characters and shadows can be tapered so that they become larger
or smaller along the line of text. TextStyle also has a complete
set of drawing tools.
The text can be printed, saved to disk or copied to the clipboard
and pasted into thousands of other programs (word processing,
spreadsheet, drawing, desktop publishing) as a bitmap.
Use it to create distinctive logos, labels and letter heads.
Generate reader interest with upside-down text on the bottom of
newsletters and promotional materials. Programmers can use it to
create splash and about boxes, bitmaps for HTML documents and
window backgrounds. Designers can use it to add "fancy" text to
any bitmap.
TextStyle for Windows requires Windows 3.1 or later. TextStyle
for Win95 requires Windows 95. Both versions are scheduled for
release around June 1996.

Double Directory $15.00
-----------------------
Double directory displays 2 disk directories side-by-side. Either
can be the source or destination for copying, moving, renaming,
deleting, viewing and printing files. It can compare 2 directories
and tag the differences. Both directories can be scrolled
simultansously. There are also functions for changing the
attributes of files and sorting, making, masking and removing
directories. Individual files and entire directories can be
tagged for moving, deleting, etc. You can shell to DOS, shell and
run a program, and shell and run a program with Double Directory
removed from memory. Double Directory's point-and-shoot interface
makes it easy to tag files and navigate subdirectories. The
display colors can be changed and several other options can be
configures. With an EGA or VGA more files can be displayed in the
43- and 50-row modes. Dohble Directory is fast and easy to use:
the commands are mnemonic and can be accessed via menus, function
keys or hot keys. It has context-sensitive help. The manual is
comprehensive with a complete index. Double Directory requires
DOS 2.0 or later (3.0 recommended), one disk drive and 272K RAM.
Completely compatible with Windows 3.x. Does not work with long
filenames so it is not compatible with Win95 or Win NT.

Have You Read That Movie? $10.00
--------------------------------
Although movies are often based on original screenplays, many are
adapted from literary works: novels, plays, short stories and even
poems. Have You Read That Movie? is a multiple-choice test (368
questions) of your knowledge of movies and literature. There are
three levels of difficulty and three modes of play: single player,
two players alternate, and two players compete. Each correct
answer is accompanied by some interesting fact(s) about the movie
or the literary work. It requires 256K RAM, DOS 2.0 or later and
a CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules, MDA, MCGA display adapter (color or
monochrome). There is on-line help and the program is
configurable. It works with or without a mouse.
New DOS and Windows versions of Have You Read That Movie? will be
released sometime in 1996. These versions will include about 1000
questions and will allow complete access to a database of over
1200-1500 films, directors, authors and so on. All registered
owners of the current version of Have You Read That Movie? will be
notified of the new version and will be eligible for an
