** COMING SOON ** SIMPLE MONTHLY BILLING: This is a billing program spe-
cifically designed for the small business with customers who are billed for
the same amount every month, such as gardeners, piano teachers, pool ser-
vices, membership organizations, etc. The program keeps track of the monthly
charge for each client, for up to three separate services, and also allows
insertion of "extra" charges outside the normal monthly fees. Designed for
the non-accountant, this simple, single-entry system posts the charges each
month, keeps track of each client's balance, prints statements and simple
reports. We expect to release this program in late summer 1990. Registration
fee and system requirements not yet determined.

mind, WORKBASE provides an interactive environment for dBASE/Clipper commands

edit and browse records; restore from and save to MEM files; display memory;
display structure; and many other commands necessary to troubleshooting ses-
sions. Very helpful in development, debugging and support. Unlike DOT (the
"free" program supplied with Clipper), it is friendly and forgiving. Anyone
whose program uses dBASE-compatible data files will love this powerful
utility. Version 2.0 requires: DOS 2.0 or later, 450K RAM; some knowledge of
dBASE or Clipper commands recommended. NEW! (Reg. $49)
NEWSLETTER: New registration includes a four-issue subscription to our news-
letter. Unregistered users may subscribe for $5.00/four issues. Published
at irregular intervals, includes information of interest to the home computer
user, with an emphasis on assistance for beginners.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All our "Unusual Software" products are sold as shareware. This means you may
use the trial version of a program for a limited period of time to see if you
like it. If you do like the program, then you should register your use by
paying the registration fee. When you become a registered user, you receive
the most current version of the program, and your name is placed on a mai-
ling list to receive notices of future upgrades. Trial versions of our pro-
grams are distributed by most shareware distributors, who generally charge
between $1 and $6 per disk. (This fee is for the distribution service only;
it is not paid to us, and is not part of the registration fee.) Compuserve
subscribers can find trial versions of our programs in many of the IBMNET
forums. You may also obtain the trial version of any product by sending a
double-sided, double-density 5 1/4" diskette in a sturdy, reusable mailer
with sufficient return postage (enough postage for a four-ounce, first-class
letter for the first two disks; an additional first class stamp for each
additional disk). (Send three disks for Creativity Package, two for Poetry
Generator.) If you don't want to bother with disks and postage, send $5.00
for the trial version of one disk, $7.00 for two, $8.00 for three, and $1.00
for each additional disk. Under no circumstances will we send trail versions
onf 3 1/2" disks. The trial version is a fully-functioning program, but in
some cases may lack some of the extra features of the registered version. If
you don't like the program, you are free to erase it, throw it away, or pass
it on to someone else to try. If you do like the program and want to keep
using it, send in the registration fee to get the REGISTERED version. Of
course, you are always more than welcome to order the registered version
without going through the trial version first. In a few cases, there is no
advanced version yet available, but you still must register if you like the
program. Registered users receive support by mail, a newsletter, and future
upgrade notification, as well as special discount and bonus offers.
We also act as a distributor for a limited selection of shareware and public
domain programs from other authors. The fee paid to us for these "Bonus
Disks" is for the copying and distribution service we are providing. It is
not paid to the authors and is not part of the registration fee. See the
Bonus Disk section for details.
Before ordering any software, please read the description carefully, and pay
special attention to the system requirements. Some programs require a hard
disk, graphics capability, or additional memory that you may not have. As far
as we know, our software will run on most standard "IBM compatible" personal
computers (with the possible exception of some Tandy models). However, since
equipment options and configurations vary so greatly, we cannot guarantee
correct results for everyone. If you have a problem, please let us know.
HOW TO ORDER:
REGISTRATION is $6.00 for Penname, $10.00 for Cliche Finder and Curses,
$19.00 for Crystal Ball. Registration for M-LABEL is $10 if you are a
registered MAILLIST user, $39.00 if you are not. WORKBASE registration is
$49.00; $29.00 for all others.
Take $5.00 off your registration if you send a double-sided, double-density
5 1/4" diskette in a sturdy, reusable mailer with SUFFICIENT return postage.
(For POETRY GENERATOR, send 2 disks). Postage should be the same amount
needed for a four-ounce, first-class letter for the first two disks, and one
additional first class stamp for each additional disk (or get it weighed at
the Post Office). If you want the discount, please don't skimp on the stamps!
Remember, the mailer you use to send your disk is the same one we will use to
return it to you. If you are already a registered user of one or more
products from our "Unusual Software" catalog (not Bonus Disks), take $5.00
off your registration of any new program. Two or more discounts may not be
combined on a single registration. Discounts do not apply to MAILLIST,
CREATIVITY PACKAGE, or programs with registration under $20.00.
MAILLIST and THUNDER THOUGHT (part of Creativity Package) registrations
include source code if requested. Source code is NOT provided for any other
programs. CURSES! registration includes a free bonus disk.
BONUS DISKS: $3.00 for each disk. Add a $3.00 shipping fee to your total
order. (Shipping fee applies only when Bonus Disks are ordered.) This is not
a registration, just a copying fee. Registration should be sent to the
individual authors of the programs.
FOREIGN ORDERS: Please add $3.00 for special postage and handling. Unfortu-
nately, we are unable to handle foreign funds. Payment must be in U.S. dol-
lars, payable through a U.S. bank. Canadian postal money orders in U.S. funds
are also acceptable.
3 1/5" DISKS: We normally provide 5 1/4" disks. If you must have 3 1/5"
disks, please include an extra $1.00 per disk. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE
SHIP UNREGISTERED VERSIONS ON 3 1/5" DISKS.
NOTE: Some programs are "ARCed". This means that in order to fit several
large files on a single disk, a special archiving and compressing process has
been used. The files must be un-arced before use. We provide the un-arcing
program. Some users have occasionally reported compatibility problems with
the utility used to un-arc our large files (this is rare). If you would
prefer to receive un-arced versions of the programs, enclose an extra $5.00
to cover special handling and materials. BONUS DISKS
We are not the authors of these programs, nor are we associated with the
authors in any way other than as a distributor of the programs in accordance
with the authors' terms of distribution. Some of these programs require a
shareware registration fee from satisfied users. Our $3.00 fee per disk is a
payment for copying and distributing the disks; it is not the registration
fee. Please direct shareware registration payments and specific questions
about these programs to the authors whose names appear in the documentation.
Most of the files on these disks have been archived in order to fit more
files on a single disk. Archiving creates a file with the extension ARC. The
ARC file may contain several related files. To use these files, you must
un-arc them. An un-archiving utility is included on each disk for your
convenience.
These programs have been tested, but due to the many possible hardware and
software configurations, we cannot guarantee that any program will run on any
particular system. We do not warrant these programs in any way. If we provide
you with an unreadable disk, you may return it for a replacement copy of the
same disk. Read the file descriptions carefully; some of these programs have
special requirements.
