^C^1Uno, Due, Tre...

   Lotus-compatible spreadsheets are a standard in the IBM PC world.  If you
don't already have such a program, we've got one here: Borland's Quattro. 
Produced by the software company known for successful products like Turbo Pascal
and Sidekick, Quattro has attracted a loyal group of users who regard it as
superior to the Lotus product it imitates.

   In addition to utilizing 1-2-3 macros and worksheets, Quattro can load and
use data created with dBASE, Paradox, and other popular programs.  Straight
ASCII data files can also be imported.  SQZ! Plus file-compression is included
to let you shrink your spreadsheet files by up to 95% on saving, and then expand
such files automatically on retrieving.

   You can use 1-2-3-style menus, or use the menus in Quattro's powerful native
mode -- or design custom menus of your own!  Context-sensitive help is always
available.

   Quattro includes powerful graphics features.  And, when it's time to print,
PostScript graphics are supported for laser printers and typesetters.

   Quattro is also smarter and faster than most spreadsheets: it recalculates
only those formulas that need recalculation, leaving the unchanged ones alone.

   All this is available, on a non-copy-protected disk, at a surprisingly low
price.  The $247.50 list price is a bargain already, but you BIG BLUE DISK
readers can get it for only $197.95, a 20% savings.  Call (800) 831-2694 to
place your order today!


^C^1Writing with your PC

   Back in issue #4, we presented PC-Write, an excellent shareware word
processor.  (That issue is available from us for just $9.95 if you wish to check
it out.)  Since it's a shareware program, you are expected to pay a registration
fee if you wish to keep using it.  There's an alternative: you can buy a
registered copy directly from us.  It carries no obligation of further payment. 
Our registered copies, at the discount price of only $69, include the program
and utility diskettes, a hardbound manual, and technical support and newsletters
from PC-Write's publisher, QuickSoft.  This is a really good deal for a powerful
word processor like PC-Write.  We use this program all the time inhouse; I'm
using it to type this text right now.  It will edit plain-ASCII files, or import
or export files in WordStar format.  Support for many printers is included, and
you can customize it for your printer if it's not one of the ones already
listed.  There's even a speling cheker -- oops, spelling checker. If you write
on your PC, PC-Write is the right choice for you, right?  So perform this rite:
write us and order PC-Write!  (Okay -- I got a bit carried away with puns here;
so, sue me.)
