New Shareware Released
Andrew J. Gnoza, III
Jerry Stern has released two new Shareware products for WordPerfect
for Windows. Previously released was Letterhead Kit for Windows a set
of macros, forms, graphic and sample files for creating a letterhead,
invoice and FAX cover sheet.
The first of the two editions is Graphcat for Windows. First released
for DOS in 1991 the macro set has now been completely rewritten for
the Windows environment. The software gives you the ability to
inventory a disk or directory of graphics and automatically create a
catalog of every graphic that is there. The user selects the height
for the graphic, and how many columns to print per page. The default
is 28 1" x 1" graphics with the filename being printed with the
graphic. No more loading a viewer or Windows program to look at your
graphics, just print them out and keep them in a three ring binder.
Graphcat lets you name the set of graphics you are printing so you
can keep your graphics compressed on diskettes and reference the
filename on your catalog sheets. The disk / catalog can hold
combinations of clip art formats, including WPG, TIF, PCX, CGM or any
other format supported by WordPerfect for Windows. You'll never be so
organized again, all your graphics in a neat notebook instead of a
pile of diskettes with illegible notes on them.
The second program is called BOOKBILD Pamphlet Publisher. The
features of the new Windows version match those of the DOS edition
that was released last October. BOOKBILD produces formatted, one fold
brochures, with pages laid flat in correct sequence for printing. The
result is a formatted booklet that is ready to take to the printer,
with each page positioned correctly without paste-up.
All of these products require WordPerfect for Windows V:5.2 and may
be ordered directly from the author at a cost of $10.00 each.
Shareware versions are available on BBS's, GEnie in the WordPerfect
Roundtable and from the authors support conference on the Rosedale
Data Line BBS at (410) 866-4554. Versions for WordPerfect for DOS
are also available for the same fee. Registered DOS users may
upgrade to the Windows versions for $7.00 each. To order or for more
information you can call Jerry Stern at (410-661-2224).
George Campbell aka OsoSoft Software has just release upgrades to a
number of his Windows Shareware programs. OsoSoft is really
committed to supplying end users with high quality software at a
price you can afford. OsoSoft maintains a BBS so once you have
registered a product you can call and download the latest registered
version at no extra upgrade charge. Shareware versions can be found
on BBS's and PC Club Shareware libraries. Once you use one of the
OsoSoft programs you'll want the entire suite of products. OsoSoft
also has a number of Freeware products available.
Fonter 6.0 is the perfect answer for anyone who uses True Type or
ATM fonts in Windows v:3.1. Fonter lets you preview your fonts on
screen, or print them out in several ways. Three zoom levels give you
a close up view of the fonts or you can print font lists with samples
for future reference. Font sample sheets show you how your text will
look in any font or style, and ANSI character charts make using
those pesky symbolic and dingbat fonts a breeze. You can even save
dingbat characters as clip art files. Registration is only $20.00.
WinClip 3.0 is the ideal graphics manager for anyone who uses BMP or
PCX files for clip art. Running under Windows 3.1 it makes the job of
previewing and cataloging clip art a fun experience. Not only can
you manage your files you can even print customized catalogs of your
images for easy reference. You can print out color or B&W images,
print all or selected images to any printer, delete unwanted files
all under a point and click interface. Registration is just $20.00
MultiLabel 3.0 designs and prints duplicate and individual labels on
your favorite laser printer in Windows 3.1.You can include clip art,
fonts, line drawings, serial numbers and more. An address book
database is included and the program can be used with any Avery Laser
Label format, or customize it for use with others. Print 1 label or
100 sheets of beautiful, and powerful labels with up to two clip art
images per label. The commercial programs I have seen don't come
close to the features of this product and with registration only
$20.00 its a bargain compared to the high price of commercial
products.
Rockford! 3.0 is the last update to the OsoSoft line up. Rockford
does just one thing, but it does it extremely well: it designs
business cards. Running under Windows 3.1 it makes the job of
creating customized business cards not only easy but fun as well. You
can include clip art images, borders, or even your own drawings in
the cards layout. Designed for individuals or professionals it lets
you create camera-ready designs OR ready to use business cards. You
can order business card stock paper from a number of sources and
print out your own business cards 10 at a time or 1000 at a time at a
fraction of the cost commercial print shops charge. With the point
and click environment and the ability to see the card as you create
it you'll be producing a quality product in no time, saving money,
and supporting Shareware. Registration is $20.00 with a Professional
version which includes a printed manual, clip art library, and other
features for $ 30.00.
