SVLCWIN_ In keeping with our tradition of providing high-quality, low-cost software, Digital Impact proudly introduces the "24 Karat--Best of Class" CD-ROM shareware collection, a 10 disk CD-ROM collection. Along with this new offering from Digital Impact, the Digital Impact BBS has changed its name to the SoftwareVAULT BBS, emphasizing the enormous library of Shareware available via modems. However, if you wish to acquire a very large library of programs quickly, our CD-ROM collections are the best and most cost-effective method. Digital Impact has very carefully chosen programs from top authors to create one of the world's largest collections of Shareware and public-domain software. Shareware is a "try-before-you-buy" method of selling software. In the beginning, Shareware was purchased directly from the author. Because the authors were able to avoid the cost of marketing through normal retail channels, consumers received great bargains. One drawback, however, was the limited information available to the public about which software titles were available. Distributing Shareware through computer bulletin boards was the logical solution that soon became the standard procedure for all Shareware authors. By allowing their programs to be copied from bulletin boards and shared with few restrictions, Shareware authors are able to reach a much greater number of users. The SoftwareVAULT BBS is one of the better bulletin boards for bringing shareware to the consumer. We maintain a good working relationship with the authors and offer them the chance to present their software in an electronic marketplace at a greatly reduced cost. The distribution of Shareware on CD-ROM was the next logical step. It is like downloading many programs from the BBS at once. The same Shareware rules and requirements apply, of course. Digital Impact pays a great deal of attention to all the software it distributes. All programs uploaded to our BBS are carefully tested for viruses. The software is copied to CD-Masters and our CD-ROM discs are produced using state-of-the-art technology. From the very beginning, Digital Impact has recognized the importance of the consumer. Digital Impact's success in distributing its software has depended upon listening to and understanding the needs of our clients, and providing solutions when they are needed. The same is true for our CD-ROM collections. We want to hear your suggestion on how we can improve future products . So, please feel free to contact us. Our technical staff is available to help with any questions you may have. COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS: We welcome your comments and suggestions for future SoftwareVAULT Collections. You can contact us at: DIGITAL IMPACT, INC. 6506 South Lewis Suite 250 Tulsa, OK 74136 USA (800) 775-4232 in the USA and Canada (918) 742-2022 International act us at: DIGITAL IMPACT, INC. 6506 South Lewis Suite 250 Tulsa, OK 74136 USA (800) 775-4232 in the USA and Canada (918) 742-2022 International 2022 International The shareware concept makes it possible for you to obtain extremely powerful software at an affordable price and to have the opportunity to try it before you buy it. The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) is an organization formed to strengthen the future of shareware. Its members, all of whom subscribe to a code of ethics, are committed to the concept of shareware as a method of marketing. The ASP sets standards for its members and their shareware products which provide, among other things, that programs produced by ASP members must be fully documented, non-crippled, and offered with at least a minimum level of support. It also sets the standards for shareware disk vendors and provides information to the public about shareware. Shareware is a unique marketing approach which allows consumers to purchase software directly from the author. Because this eliminates costly marketing, promotion, and packaging, consumers can obtain quality software at a fraction of the commercial cost. Shareware authors allow their programs to be copied and distributed with few restrictions. Shareware users are encouraged to examine a program, copy it, and pass it on to friends. If users find the software program useful, they are asked to register with the software author. This usually means paying a registration fee directly to the shareware author. In return for this registration fee, "registered users" receive the right to continue using the software and added benefits such as full documentation, technical support, and future updates of the program. Registration is the key to success for the shareware concept. If you try a program and it does not meet your needs, you are not expected to register. However, if you try a program, like it, and continue to use it, you should compensate the author with the registration fee. Registration also insures further development of the program. Digital Impact, Inc., distributor of The SoftwareVAULT, is an approved vendor and associate member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon MI 49422-9427 or send a CompuServe Mail message to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536 or FAX 616-788-2765. COPYRIGHT NOTICE: 1.

Register your favorite shareware directly with the author of the program. Shareware authors work many long hours to produce and test these programs, and deserve to be paid for their programming efforts. The registration fee for shareware is often very inexpensive, usually between $5.00 - $85.00 US. Registering a program brings with it additional benefits. In many cases, you will get the latest version of the program and a printed manual. Since shareware is constantly being improved, there is a good chance that when you register, you will get a newer, better version of the program. Many authors also offer technical support by phone, e-mail, or snail mail [letters]. If you register a program with an author who lives outside the USA, payment should be made in US-dollars, unless otherwise specified. You will usually have about 30 days to evaluate a program before registration is required. e author accepts Visa or Mastercard, you can simply give your Visa / Mastercard number and expiration date. The usual period of time for evaluation of a program before registering is about 30 days.

We design, publish and directly support a line of proprietary software in several categories. We design a wide range of products, ranging from a basic menu and utilities package to a multimedia "edutainment" product. Our products are designed for a wide range of computer users--from the novice to the expert. We also assemble, manufacture, and distribute the SoftwareVAULT CD-ROM shareware collections. Our SoftwareVAULT line is unique because it offers a large collection of shareware: users will find hundreds of megabytes of useful programs, utilities, and much more. Furthermore, no shareware title is duplicated on any of our other general collections. Each SoftwareVAULT collection includes the SoftwareVAULT Librarian, a complete database of all the files on the CD-ROM. With this powerful tool you can browse and search by subject or "keyword" for specific shareware files. Once a file is selected, you can tell the Librarian to create the necessary directory. The file will then be copied/de-compressed to the directory and is then ready for your use. What sets Digital Impact apart from other software publishers is that we stand behind every product we sell and we value every one of our customers. When you call our technical support staff, you will always speak with an experienced person who is very familiar with our products. We provide genuine help when you need it and we offer the same high quality service to all users, retailers, distributors, and OEMs. For your convenience, we maintain a 24-hour Bulletin Board System (BBS) with separate conferences for each of our products.

Phoenix, AZ 85044-6771 AOL: EdHamrick CIS: 71470,3236 edhamrick@aol.com KwikDraw is a drawing program. It is very different from a paint program, in that it is object oriented. This means that after drawing objects (such as rectangles, ellipses, lines, text, curves, polygons, or splines), you have the ability to select and modify them as independent entities. In a paint program an object, once it is drawn, loses it's identity as an independent entity. Any editing capability in a paint program must thus treat all the objects as mere patterns of bits on the drawing surface. KwikDraw also allows you to attach a text description to any object, including grouped objects and their components. These descriptions may be viewed and edited on-screen or written to a text file. This feature may be used to generate a parts list from your drawing. To run KwikDraw, you will need an IBM PC, Windows 3.x, and 400KB of free disk space. The program comes with READ.ME and KWIKDRAW.TXT files and online help to get you over the learning curve. Registration is $37.95, payable to: The Human Interface attn: Paul Schimpf 902 94th St. S.E.

Registration is $10, payable to: Payramid Software Development 2651 Sunset Blvd, #903 Rocklin, CA 95677 Odyssey is a comprehensive computer data communications package for the IBM AT and true compatibles running Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later, which as well as providing all the standard features of a powerful comms package, will also allow error free communications without requiring an expensive error correcting modem. The inclusion of MNP in Odyssey will allow noise free communications using an ordinary inexpensive modem, even set to its highest speed, with any other system, provided that it also supports MNP or V.42, whether in software like Odyssey, or in hardware. Among the many features provided are: Text capture to a disk file and/or printer (called text logging in Odyssey). Host mode with two levels of password protection allowing remote systems to dial into your PC. Chat mode for direct two-way conversations. User defined macros. Keyboard remapping. A Command Line Recall facility, to save typing when online. A scrollback feature which allows you to "look back in time" at text which has scrolled off the terminal display (called the "Review editor") in Odyssey. A playback mode which allows you to replay, offline, recorded portions of an online session. Event logging, which records details of calls, such as service name, date, time and duration. Other transactions recorded are file transfers, fax transmission and reception, script events, and so on. A dialing directory which allows an unlimited number of entries, and which supports both queued dialing of tagged entries, and automatic redial. You can see statistics on the numbers of calls to a particular service, see when you last called that service, how long you were on for, and so on. Several file transfer protocols built in, including ASCII, Xmodem, Ymodem, SuperKermit, Zmodem and Compuserve B+. Zmodem and Compuserve B+ are especially powerful and provide facilities for "no hands" automatic download of files. Both also provide the ability to resume a file transfer which was interrupted by a line drop or power failure; packages which do not offer this feature require you to start the download again from the beginning. A multi-window ASCII text editor, used for preparing messages offline, and also used to manipulate the contents of the scrollback buffer. Text editing can be performed using CUA commands, or can use Wordstar compatible commands for those more used to the editor provided in Odyssey for DOS. The text editor in Windows Odyssey can handle files of any size - in particular, it does not have the 64k file size limits of the DOS version. A comprehensive Pascal-like script language, which among other things allows you to automate the dial and log on procedure for any service. This includes a special "learn" feature, which makes the script language facility more accessible to those with little or no prior experience of programming, and a script compiler utility which allows the use of precompiled scripts for faster loading or greater security (note that use of the compiler is optional). Accurate emulations of several popular terminal types, including TTY, VT320, VT100, VT52, ANSI, DG200 and Viewdata (PRESTEL). Support for further terminal emulations is planned. Although not provided as a separate emulation, note that VT220 is also supported as a subset of VT320. FAX modem support, including the ability to send, receive, view, and print FAX documents. You can send text, PCX, and TIFF files as FAXes, and you can export a FAX as PCX or TIFF. Both normal and high resolution FAX formats are supported. The Odyssey FAX server works with any modem which conforms to the EIA Class I or Class II specifications. Minimum hardware requirements are a 386 based IBM PC or compatible with monochrome display, running Windows 3.1 or later in 386 enhanced mode, with 2Mb of random access memory, a hard disk with at least 3Mb free space, and (if dialup communications is required) an synchronous modem either attached by cable to a serial port, or on an internal card. However, the ideal machine for Odyssey will have a hard disk with several megabytes of free space (giving room for file transfer downloads), a "Windows Accelerator" type SuperVGA card (for faster scrolling during terminal emulation), and a fast modem with V42bis error correction and data compression.

Registration is $25, payable to: Oleg Goldfayn 2489 East 3rd Street Brooklyn, NY 11223 GNU Chess is a communal chess program. Contributors donate their time and effort in order to make it a stronger, better, sleeker program. Contributions take many forms: interfaces to high-resolution displays, opening book treatises, speedups of the underlying algorithms, additions of extra heuristics. These contributions are then distributed to the large user-base so that all may enjoy the fruits of our labor. The original and continuing purpose of this project is to permanently end the rampant hoarding of computer chess software that has been the case for the past 20 years. Many people have contributed to GNU Chess. Their contributions have improved the program from being a patzer (weak program) to being a grandpatzer (decently strong program). In its growth since initial release, GNU Chess has gone from approximately class D to strong master strength. It beats the Fidelity Mach 3 (USCF 2265) rather handily when run on a Sparc-1 (RISC). Since these types of RISC chips are becoming fairly common, the age of "master chess in your computer lab" is now a reality. From there, it will be a short hop to master chess in your home with FSF software. Contributing authors include the following individuals: (in alphabetical order) Jim Aspnes, Wayne Christopher, Steve Dougherty, David Goldberg, Richard Greenblatt, Larry Kaufman, David Kittinger, Hans-Erik Sandstrom, Richard Stallman, John Stanback, and Ken Thompson.
