~The Gorin Desktop GDESKxxx.ZIP
~(xxx = version, e.g. v2.15 = GDESK215.ZIP

This is an amazingly full featured program considering it's low
cost! Provided you have at least a VGA display, even on a Turbo XT
or 286, Desktop will provide all the facilities of a proper GUI
environment on your PC.

Just like Windows "Program Mangler" you can place icons into
groups on your desktop, click on them and run programs - fast!!!
The Desktop takes absolutely no memory from your programs, so you
can even run games direct without ever touching the C:\> prompt -
plus, if you do want to run Windows, place each of your Windows
programs as an icon on the Desktop, and you'll bypass Program
Mangler going straight to your chosen application.

What's more, the Desktop includes all the super features of
Windows that you love - like a powerful icon editor with over 200
icons, a wallpaper editor and some great wallpaper files. There's
a file manager with a viewer, an Address Book and calculator - and
you don't even need to exit to DOS to change your system clock!

Left your PC on the desktop? No problem, the screen saver will
click in with either your chosen message or a bouncing clock - or
add any graphics demo as a saver by following the easy to read
instructions in GORDESK2.DOC.

Pop outside the desktop, and you'll find GMOD Pro - a full
featured music program with a number of great tunes for
SoundBlaster users, Floppy Formatter, for point and click
formatting and a neat Wallpaper converter to take PCX files and
turn them into back drops. Exit the Desktop altogether to see the
Disk Status Monitor, reporting on your hard drives size and free
space - so you can be sure if that new 20Mb game will fit!

Try it! You'll either love it or love it! Registration costs
£24.95.


~Gorin's Organiser (DOS & Windows versions)
~DOS: ORGDSxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v2.03=ORDDS203.ZIP)
~WINDOWS: ORGWNxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v2.20=ORDWN220.ZIP)

So, you've binned your Filofax and you're looking for something
new - look no further! Gorin's Organiser is an amazing graphical
product where you're appointments are shown as clear icons on a
neatly chiselled display! There's a Month in View and a Year
Planner view, both with easy point and click access - plus to save
you time, any regular appointments, birthdays or whatever, can be
added automatically by the Auto-Organiser feature.

The Organiser has a fully featured Address Book, which can also
link to the Desktop's one if you wish, a Calculator, To Do list
and a Notepad. All your essential information stored as one!

Plus, if you're using the Windows version, you can log telephone
calls and set the alarm clock to interrupt whatever you're doing
so you don't forget to do things.

Gorin's Organiser has received so much praise by current customers
and the computing press, that we know you're going to love it! It
costs just £29.95, or for £44.95, you can buy the entire Windows
"Power" program suite and the Organiser - a fantastic sav ing on
the normal cost!


~Power Balance for DOS
~PBDOSxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PBDOS100.ZIP)

Synchronize your data on 2 PCs! If you keep the same files (for
example a diary) on two PCs, maybe a Laptop and Desktop, and you
update one you'll need to change the other. Power Balance does
this for you, saving time and making sure both PCs are bang up t o
date!

Power Balance benefits from an easy to use, mouse orientated
Windows-like graphical user interface. File balancing is a
painless process, and you have two choices of the method used: you
can either use a floppy disk to balance your PCs, no network or
link required, or you can balancing via Interlink (the file
transfer program with IBM DOS and DOS 6) or most peer-to-peer
networks such as Windows for Workgroups.

Power Balance for DOS costs £14.95 to register.


~Sprinter Setup for Windows
~SPRWINxx.ZIP (xx = vsn, e.g. v1.0 = SPRWIN10.ZIP)

Powerful yet simple installation. Supports multiple disks, file
compression and expansion, Program Manager icons, low
registration. As used by NGS for Gorin's Organiser and the Power
series. Uses CTL3D (supplied). TINY FOOTPRINT - takes less than
45k on your disk!

Sprinter Setup has to be your first stop if you're a developer
looking for an easy to use (and cheap!) installation product.
Sprinter is very easy for you to configure, with everything
supplied that you'll need to create an installation disk - plus,
it's simple yet elegant user interface (uses CTL3D.DLL, which is
automatically installed if the user hasn't already got a copy) is
both fast to navigate, clear and functional.

As used in both Shareware and Commercial products. Registration is
per developer at just £24.95.


~Power Balance for Windows
~PBWINxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PBWIN100.ZIP)

If you ever use the same data files on more than one computer,
maybe you carry a laptop, sooner or later you'll update the data
on one PC and forget to change the other. Power Balance ensures
that you needn't worry - simply run Power Balance and the most
recent copies of each file are placed on both machines! You can
create multiple balancing sets for different purposes, and can
balance files over some form of link (such as a Interlink cable,
or Windows For Workgroups Network) or simply with an intermediate
floppy disk - just follow the step by step instructions! Features
an easy to use mouse based graphical user interface. Registration
is a very reasonable £14.95, or £29.95 with Power Gamer & Power
Prompter, or £44.95 for all three Power programs + Organiser for
Windows!


~Power Gamer for Windows
~PGWINxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PGWIN100.ZIP)

Power Gamer - Run ANY DOS game from Windows! Unique method enables
even the most resource hungry DOS game to be run seamlessly from
Microsoft Windows. Full memory, no sound card problems, no slow
down! A must for all games players, and at £14.95 is by far the
cheapest upgrade to your Windows installation!


~Power Prompter for Windows
~PPWINxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PPWIN100.ZIP)

Powerful utility combining the RUN command with file manager and
the DOS prompt. Many uses, fast and slick. Just like having a DOS
window permanently open on your Desktop, but without the memory
loss and able to run Windows programs too! Prompter's small
unobtrusive command window looks great on any desktop, and has a
history list which can hold 1000's of commands for easy retrieval.
386 enh mode recommended for optimal use.

Ideal if you like to key in DOS commands, great for development or
for anyone struggling in Windows after years in DOS. You'll wonder
how you ever worked without it - for most people, it's essential
StartUp group material! And at just £14.95 (see offer under Power
Balance for Windows) it won't in any way break the bank!


~Gorin's Microbook for DOS
~GMBKxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.20 = GMBK120.ZIP)

Help files, instruction manuals, training guides - under Windows,
the choice is easy - create a Help file and be done with it. DOS
users, though, have a trickier time - there are plenty of "Text to
EXE" programs floating about, but all they do is provide a
scrolling display. For times when a little more creativity is
needed, Microbook could well fit the bill.

In it's Royalty Free distributable form, the Microbook program
takes just 40k of disk space, providing the facility to display
upto 50 Microbooks on each disk, each with a maximum of 20
sections.

Microbook uses a clear Windows-like graphical interface, with
mouse support, with individual pages being displayed on the screen
in a pleasant, easy to read font. Lines of text may be highlighted
in order to break the text, or provide a heading, and each section
is called from a push button with a description.

When in Microbook, you can easily switch between books using an
icon on the icon bar, and quickly print the contents of the
current section using another icon. Microbook is easy to use, so
easy in fact that it's used to display the on-line manual in both
Gorin's Organiser for DOS and Cheet Sheets. Registration of £24.95
brings your own personalised copy and the right to distribute that
file and any books you create.
