J.Q.L. PRODUCT INFORMATION
J.Q.L. WEIGHTS & MEASURES for Windows (14.95 Sterling or 30.00 US Dollars)
This is the first program J.Q.L. released for Windows* on 1st June 1993.
The program converts weights & measures from one type to another
automatically and is simplicity itself to use.
Weights & Measures 1.1 was reviewed by PC Plus, issue 84, September 1993,
who said of Weights & Measures "..you'll find W&M invaluable", and "..W&M
screen display shows all the units for each mode simultaneously, making it
extremely easy to switch between the individual measurement systems." and
"..extremely well crafted and quite useful". PC Plus gave Weights &
Measures a 4 out of 5 value rating and had nothing against the program.
Transend, one of the major UK Shareware vendors said of Weights & Measures
1.1 "..very useful" and "..it is certainly very easy to use".
High praise indeed for a first program for Windows*.
Now in version 2, it is even easier to use, has a completely context
sensitive Help, more conversions, is even more accurate than before using,
where possible, conversion factors correct to a minimum seven decimal
points!, has 3D and colour which is configurable by the user, the main
control is a Tool Bar which can be placed anywhere on your screen, and uses
very little of your Systems resources - only 10% when every single window
is displayed.
Conversions:
* Area: sq inches, sq feet, sq yards, sq miles, acres, sq centimetres, sq
metres, sq kilometres and hectares.
* Liquid: UK gallons, UK pints, UK gills, US gallons, US pints, litres and
Barrels (oil).

and cables.

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, Away Wins and Home Wins simultaneously and gives
both rankings and percentage chances 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.
Pools Plan was released on 10th August 1993 and the reviews should be
appearing in October/November.

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.
