------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These disks contain a professional, full featured, customer, router, complaint
and carrier database management system for use by newspaper delivery agents
and paper boys. NPR was developed specifically for and is currently used by
delivery agents of the Los Angeles Times where it provides major reductions in
daily route list maintenance time and the elimination of virtually all route
related handwritten paperwork.

suitable for use with a single route or a combination of routes which have 500
or fewer customers. The registered versions come complete with a comprehensive
user manual. All versions include a comprehensive on-line context sensitive
help system activated by pressing the <F1> key.

ments please call or write as we would be happy to discuss making modifica-
tions to meet any particular needs in your industry.
