If you have requested and received a full-featured registered version of a
RAD Software program-- Thank You!
If you are examining a review version of a RAD Software program, I
encourage you to put it through the wringer; also, please feel free to
upload a review version package to BBSs in your area and distribute it (not
a registered version, of course) to others so they will have an opportunity
to decide if they would like to register the program also.
Either way, if you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to
contact me at the address listed above, or at:

MyMoney (formerly PCA)
Personal Checking Account
$20
Mouse supported
CGA or better required
MyMoney is a full-featured checking account program designed
primarily for personal use. MyMoney can maintain up to 100
different checking accounts at a time, and each account can hold
up to 10,000 transactions. If you've had the disheartening
experience of trying to use other checking account programs,
you'll be pleased at how this program looks and feels just like
your personal checkbook register. MyMoney features all functions
you would want, including printouts, search-and-display,
clearing, and voiding. When you receive your banking statement
once a month, MyMoney even has a special "reconcile" option that
clears and balances your account automatically!
MyMoney supports the use of a mouse! Also, MyMoney has context-
sensitive help screens with an on-line manual and a "quick-
select" help index, word-processor capable input boxes, "point &
shoot" user selection, default entries, program path memory, pop-
up windows, "3-D" shadowed boxes, special date and amount entry
formats, and many others functions that rival and even surpass
commercial versions of MyMoney at a fraction of the cost.
Note that MyMoney is a MAJOR upgrade of PCA, originally released
in 1986. There are significant improvements in the screen
displays and features. There is also a radical difference in the
approach and method of data file maintenance such that data files
created under PCA cannot be converted for use by MyMoney, which
is why I released it as a new program. The internal routines,
however, are tried and true from years of experience under PCA's
hood.

CredCard
Credit Card Accounts
$10
CGA or better Required
Do you keep personal registers of your credit cards like you do
for your checking account? Why not? If you think about it,
credit card registers are as important as checking account
registers! Yet few of us go to the trouble. Why? Because
frankly, maintaining any kind of financial register is a pain,
right?
CredCard is a powerful, convenient, and very friendly program
designed to maintain transaction registers of up to 1,000
different credit card accounts, and each account can maintain up
to 1,000 transactions! It can be valuable for a personal user,
as well as most business users of credit cards.
Aside from doing all the math for you flawlessly, CredCard is
loaded with those features you like to find in any program, such
as: Context-sensitive help screens, including an on-line manual
and a quick-select help index; word processor capable input
boxes; default entries; program path memory; extensive use of 3-D
shadow boxes and pop-up windows for friendly and visually
appealing displays; and many other similar features. CredCard
has powerful searching features that let you define and create
sub-lists of your transactions in almost any manner you wish.
The search/sort routines are incredibly fast. Results can be
viewed and/or printed. Powerful print options let you print any
portion of your account that your wish.
There are too many other features to list here, but CredCard's
main strengths are that it's friendly yet powerful, and very
practical.

EGABomb & VGABomb
Artillery Combat Game
$10
EGA/VGA required
Mouse Supported
Now with mouse support! This is a high-resolution "war" game,
available in both an EGA and a VGA version, in which two people
fire artillery shells at each other over hills under a moonlit
star-filled sky. Generous use of random variables guarantees a
unique playing field every time you play. The VGA version
contains colors you've probably never seen before! This is by
far my best-selling program.
DeduceIt
A Number Logic Game
$10
Mouse Supported
This program plays the popular number game where you logically
figure out a random three digit number. Up to four people can
play at a time. The computer will also play if you let it. The
game keeps track of successive rounds and displays a final score
when you're finished. An excellent challenge.
ESP
Extra Sensory Perception Game
$5
This program tests your psychic abilities; for those more
cynically minded, it provides a demonstration of how the law of
averages work. You are asked to perceive (or guess) a random
number from 1 to 5 as many times as you wish. As you are
responding, a performance bar displays your results in real time
as they vary from low to average to high. You can keep the
results in a cumulative personal data file. The results are very
interesting over successive trials, especially with one friend of
mine who has so far scored WAY above what the law of averages say
she should have "guessed".
