===========================================================================
- Professional look and feel for a better first
impression.
- Comprehensive environment detection, including minimum
CPU, floating point processor, installed RAM, and MS-Dos
version.
- Supports VGA/EGA 50/43 line text modes if detected.
- CONNECT is designed with user friendly Function keys that
allow you to have access to POP-UP HELP screens. Help screens
are available for each Menu panel.
- Allows employers to be selected based on Industry, Size
and Annual Revenues using Relational database techniques.
- Each company may be reviewed by pressing the ENTER key to
move forward or the function key F3 to view a company
previously viewed.
- Printing of selected businesses may be accomplished by placing
an "S" for Select or "D" for Delete in the option field.
This will generate a special queue of businesses to be printed.
Foregoing the selection process will utilize all businesses
chosen using the Relational database selection options.
- Each business has a CONTACT field for the name of the individual
you wish to contact.
- Each company comes equipped with a contact phone number for
employment.
- A Fax phone number field has been provided for each business.
This, when used in conjunction with an INTEL FAX board, is
capable of faxing memos to selected businesses.
- Each company maintains data fields for the number of people
currently employed and the Gross Annual revenues generated
for the previous year.
- Each company has a four line brief description of the functions
they provide.
- A Note screen is available for every business in the data
bank. The DOS operating system date is extracted in
preparation for the current note. A maximum of four notes
may be kept for each business.
- 3D bar charts are used to pictorially depict the number of
businesses in each Industry, Size category and Annual Revenues
category.
- Additions, modifications, and deletions may be made to the
Job bank database.
- A separate relational database is maintained for personal
addresses.
- A bare-bones text editor is provided to allow you to write a
memo or resume that may be mail merged with selected businesses
from the Job bank. If a more advanced text processor is needed,
CONNECT allows you to shell out of the package into another
text editor. Upon termination of the text editor, control is
passed back to the CONNECT package.
- Several print formats are available:
1) You may print envelopes with your Return address and selected
business addresses.
2) You may make mailing labels for selected businesses.
3) You may print mail merged memos for selected businesses.

descending order by company name, city, state, or zip code.
You may specify primary and secondary sort fields.
- A generic title or department may be merged with all selected
business addresses.
- Robust error handling, including a custom critical error
handler that won't scare the dickens out of you.
