-
- Each of these programs should be available from The Shareware Support
- Bulletin Board on (01442) 891109 (V32Bis) and (01442) 891209 (VFast).
- Filenames or filename patterns follow the program name.
-
- You may be able to find these programs on other BBS's. If you do not,
- and feel that the BBS deserves a copy, please upload one - you are free
- to do this provided you use the recommended ZIP name and do not modify
- any of the files.
-
-
- The Gorin Desktop GDESKxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v2.15 = GDESK215.ZIP)
- =================
-
- This is an amazingly full featured program considering it's low cost!
- Provided you have at least a VGA display, even on a Turbo XT or 286,
- Desktop will provide all the facilities of a proper GUI environment on
- your PC.
-
- Just like Windows "Program Mangler" you can place icons into groups on
- your desktop, click on them and run programs - fast!!! The Desktop
- takes absolutely no memory from your programs, so you can even run
- games direct without ever touching the C:\> prompt - plus, if you do
- want to run Windows, place each of your Windows programs as an icon on
- the Desktop, and you'll bypass Program Mangler going straight to your
- chosen application.
-
- What's more, the Desktop includes all the super features of Windows
- that you love - like a powerful icon editor with over 200 icons, a
- wallpaper editor and some great wallpaper files. There's a file manager
- with a viewer, an Address Book and calculator - and you don't even need
- to exit to DOS to change your system clock!
-
- Left your PC on the desktop? No problem, the screen saver will click in
- with either your chosen message or a bouncing clock - or add any
- graphics demo as a saver by following the easy to read instructions in
- GORDESK2.DOC.
-
- Pop outside the desktop, and you'll find GMOD Pro - a full featured
- music program with a number of great tunes for SoundBlaster users,
- Floppy Formatter, for point and click formatting and a neat Wallpaper
- converter to take PCX files and turn them into back drops. Exit the
- Desktop altogether to see the Disk Status Monitor, reporting on your
- hard drives size and free space - so you can be sure if that new 20Mb
- game will fit!
-
- Try it! You'll either love it or love it! Registration costs £24.95.
-
-
- Gorin's Organiser (DOS & Windows versions)

- where you're appointments are shown as clear icons on a neatly
- chiselled display! There's a Month in View and a Year Planner view,
- both with easy point and click access - plus to save you time, any
- regular appointments, birthdays or whatever, can be added automatically

-
-
- Power Balance for DOS PBDOSxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PBDOS100.ZIP)
- =====================
-
- Synchronize your data on 2 PCs! If you keep the same files (for example
- a diary) on two PCs, maybe a Laptop and Desktop, and you update one
- you'll need to change the other. Power Balance does this for you,
- saving time and making sure both PCs are bang up t o date!
-
- Power Balance benefits from an easy to use, mouse orientated
- Windows-like graphical user interface. File balancing is a painless
- process, and you have two choices of the method used: you can either
- use a floppy disk to balance your PCs, no network or link required, or
- you can balancing via Interlink (the file transfer program with IBM DOS
- and DOS 6) or most peer-to-peer networks such as Windows for
- Workgroups.
-
- Power Balance for DOS costs £14.95 to register.
-
-
- Sprinter Setup for Windows SPRWINxx.ZIP (xx = vsn, e.g. v1.0 = SPRWIN10.ZIP)
- ==========================
-
- Powerful yet simple installation. Supports multiple disks, file
- compression and expansion, Program Manager icons, low registration. As
- used by NGS for Gorin's Organiser and the Power series. Uses CTL3D
- (supplied). TINY FOOTPRINT - takes less than 45k on your disk!
-
- Sprinter Setup has to be your first stop if you're a developer looking
- for an easy to use (and cheap!) installation product. Sprinter is very
- easy for you to configure, with everything supplied that you'll need to
- create an installation disk - plus, it's simple yet elegant user
- interface (uses CTL3D.DLL, which is automatically installed if the user
- hasn't already got a copy) is both fast to navigate, clear and
- functional.
-
- As used in both Shareware and Commercial products. Registration is per
- developer at just £24.95.
-
-
- Power Balance for Windows
- =========================
-
- PBWINxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PBWIN100.ZIP)
-
- If you ever use the same data files on more than one computer, maybe
- you carry a laptop, sooner or later you'll update the data on one PC
- and forget to change the other. Power Balance ensures that you needn't
- worry - simply run Power Balance and the most recent copies of each
- file are placed on both machines! You can create multiple balancing
- sets for different purposes, and can balance files over some form of
- link (such as a Interlink cable, or Windows For Workgroups Network) or
- simply with an intermediate floppy disk - just follow the step by step
- instructions! Features an easy to use mouse based graphical user
- interface. Registration is a very reasonable £14.95, or £29.95 with
- Power Gamer & Power Prompter, or £44.95 for all three Power programs +
- Organiser for Windows!
-
-
- Power Gamer for Windows
- =======================
-
- PGWINxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PGWIN100.ZIP)
-
- Power Gamer - Run ANY DOS game from Windows! Unique method enables even
- the most resource hungry DOS game to be run seamlessly from Microsoft
- Windows. Full memory, no sound card problems, no slow down! A must for
- all games players, and at £14.95 is by far the cheapest upgrade to your
- Windows installation!
-
-
- Power Prompter for Windows
- ==========================
-
- PPWINxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.00 = PPWIN100.ZIP)
-
- Powerful utility combining the RUN command with file manager and the
- DOS prompt. Many uses, fast and slick. Just like having a DOS window
- permanently open on your Desktop, but without the memory loss and able
- to run Windows programs too! Prompter's small unobtrusive command
- window looks great on any desktop, and has a history list which can
- hold 1000's of commands for easy retrieval. 386 enh mode recommended
- for optimal use.
-
- Ideal if you like to key in DOS commands, great for development or for
- anyone struggling in Windows after years in DOS. You'll wonder how you

- Windows) it won't in any way break the bank!
-
-
- Gorin's Microbook for DOS
- =========================
-
- GMBKxxx.ZIP (xxx = version, e.g. v1.20 = GMBK120.ZIP)
-
- Help files, instruction manuals, training guides - under Windows, the
- choice is easy - create a Help file and be done with it. DOS users,
- though, have a trickier time - there are plenty of "Text to EXE"
- programs floating about, but all they do is provide a scrolling
- display. For times when a little more creativity is needed, Microbook
- could well fit the bill.
-
- In it's Royalty Free distributable form, the Microbook program takes
- just 40k of disk space, providing the facility to display upto 50
- Microbooks on each disk, each with a maximum of 20 sections.
-
- Microbook uses a clear Windows-like graphical interface, with mouse
- support, with individual pages being displayed on the screen in a
- pleasant, easy to read font. Lines of text may be highlighted in order
- to break the text, or provide a heading, and each section is called
- from a push button with a description.
-
- When in Microbook, you can easily switch between books using an icon on
- the icon bar, and quickly print the contents of the current section
- using another icon. Microbook is easy to use, so easy in fact that it's
- used to display the on-line manual in both Gorin's Organiser for DOS
- and Cheet Sheets. Registration of £24.95 brings your own personalised
- copy and the right to distribute that file and any books you create.
-
-
