- said of Weights & Measures "..you'll find W&M invaluable", and "..W&M screen

- value rating and had nothing against the program.

-
- "For lo! There's a program that has abolished the humdrum
- and will set you free."
-
- ".. Of the Australian matches on Saturday July 1 the program
- was on the ball.."
-
- ".. But I have to confess I can't put my finger on that certain
- something that seems to make The JQL Pools Plan tick."
-
- Pools Plan, works with the new "Jackpot" system, the ordinary pools and with
- the Australian pools. It requires NO tedious entering of the results (as some
- pools systems require), and is simplicity itself to use. Pools Plan predicts
- Score Draws, Jackpot Draws, No Score Draws, Away Wins and Home Wins
- simultaneously and gives both rankings and probability ratings of a particular
- result. The percentages and rankings can be printed out or copied to the
- Windows Clipboard.
-
- The Help file is context sensitive and there is a "Hint Line" to help you at
- the bottom of the window. The help file also has information on completing
- your coupon and how to use the information provided by the program.

-
- J.Q.L. HORSE FORM LITE for WINDOWS (14.99 Sterling or 30.00 US Dollars)*
-
- This is a small Horse Racing Predition program for Windows 3.1 and better.
-
- The first time this program was used on a race it picked three out of the
- first four horses home. Not bad for a first test so I included that race in
- the Help file as an example.
-
- Horse Form Lite uses the information published in most daily newspapers to
- make its predictions, so there is no need to buy a specialist racing paper to
- use it, unless of course you want to.
-
- There is no tedious entering of the results of each race, and Horse Form Lite
- automatically keeps a record of the Horses' names you have entered - up to a
- maximum of 32676. Finding a Horse once it has been entered into the program is
- simplicity itself, just enter the first two or three letters of the Horse's
- name and it will usually be displayed on the screen for you to select.
-
- Horse Form Lite, frequently picks the winners and sometimes picks the
- long-odds winners which everyone has overlooked, it picks the horse most
- likely to win, which isn't always the favourite!
-
- It has a context sensitive Help File and hints for the information it requires
- which makes it very easy to use. It also has user configurable 3D and Colour,
- and will give you a print out of the predictions if so required.
-
- Reviewed by Robin Lloyd in ODDS ON magazine March 1994:
-
- ".. the program, which I like very much, gave me three winners out of
- five races checked. Evaluation is quick and easy. Latest form is
- sensibly combined with earlier placings."

-
- J.Q.L. Lottery for Windows is designed to be compatable with as many of the
- World's lottories as possible. It comes with the British Lottery file as

- WINDOWS HELP FILES
-
- What is the best method of distributing information to ensure that every
- Windows User can read it?
-
- The Windows Help File.
-
- The Help Files are not only useful as a reference files, they can be used as
- Tutorials, Reports, Guides, Company Information, Sales Manual, Product Manual
- and many more uses where structured information is used or needs to be
- distributed. The beauty of the Windows Help File is it doesn't require a host
- program, all Windows Operating Systems have it built in. The maximum amount of
- space is available on your distribution media for the Help File and anyone
- with Windows can read it.
-
- J.Q.L. will be pleased to quote for the compilation of any Windows Help Files
- you may require.
