ATARI CANADA RELEASES MAX2PORT - Press Release

 Atari Canada has just announced the release of the program MAX2PORT for
 use with the Atari Portfolio computer.  The utility MAX2PORT allows any
 any Maximizer user to convert and export CLIENT.DAT files into a new
 file that will work with the Portfolio's built in Address Book.  Thru
 the unique and powerful export features of Maximizer, users are now able
 to take important client information (name, address, phone number)
 stored on the one pound Portfolio, into the field for quickand easy
 reference.  Because the Maximizer allows for very distinct files by
 date, description or database it is possible for a Portfolio user to
 have several Address files for hot prospects, personal contacts,
 qualified leads, or contacts by date for example.  Also of interest to
 many Maximizer users will be the Portfolio's built in word processor,
 Lotus compatable spreadsheet, diary and powerful calculator.  The word
 processor imports ASCII files for almost any MS-Dos word processor
 (Maximizer, Word Perfect, Word, ect).  The program will be distributed
 free of charge by participating authorized Portfolio dealers across
 Canada, an optional copying fee may be charged by some dealers.  MAXPORT
 was written by Murray Brown (Western Canada Sales Rep. Atari Canada) and
 is released as freeware.
