WELCOME TO THE ARGUS RESTAURANT DATABASE!!
AN INTRODUCTION...
The Argus Restaurant Database is a first-of-its-kind computerized res-
taurant guide compiled and maintained by Computer-Based Communications,
Inc. The Restaurant Database contains information on hundreds of
restaurants in the Greater Boston area which you can easily sort through
to find the perfect restaurant for every occasion. There is ample
information on each participating restaurant in an easy-to-read color
listing that you can browse through at the end of your successful search.
In addition, many restaurants are also displaying their menus, great
money-saving coupons, and other valuable information that you won't find
in existing restaurant guides.
The Argus Restaurant Database is a helpful resource for meeting or event
planners and coordinators of office social events as well as for those of
you who are frequent restaurant goers. The database is designed to give
you the most helpful information in the most useful (and fun!) format, as
assessed through our research with a large sample of consumers. We are
doing our best to continually improve the Restaurant Database as a
result of continuing consumer feedback, so we would be happy to hear your
comments and suggestions.
If this is your first time using the database, please read through all of
the information files off of the Argus Restaurant Database Main Menu.
The more informed you are, the more useful this database will be.
There are currently several ways for you to get and use the Restaurant
Database on a regular basis. There is a working copy of the Argus
Restaurant Database on CBC's free online service, Argus Computerized
Exchange (617-862-9373) which you can access with your (IBM compatible
or non-IBM compatible) computer and modem, seven days a week 21 hours
a day. A "portable" version of the database is also available on Argus
for download. This download can be used on IBM or IBM compatible
computers only. The portable version of the Restaurant Database is also
being distributed by subscription on diskette for IBM or IBM compatible
computers. And you can make free copies of the portable database at
several area PC stores. (The portable version of the Restaurant Database
is what you are using now.)
KEEP CURRENT!
The information in our online version of the Restaurant Database is being
updated daily and the portable, offline database (the one you are using
now) is updated monthly and posted in the Argus File Library. Be sure to
obtain the latest copy of the database each month by calling the Argus
Helpline at 617-674-2359, by downloading your own update from Argus, or
by making a copy of the latest database at a local PC store. If you wish
to download a copy of the database from Argus, type GO EATOUT from the
Argus Main Menu and then choose "D" to download, from the next menu.
The file you will be downloading is called RESTDB.EXE and it's about 700K
in zipped form.
