Korenthal Associates, Inc.
Last Updated November 1992
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Korenthal Associates (KA) has been producing top quality software
since 1984. From the beginning, our programs were acclaimed by the
computer press, starting with the Webster's New World family of
spelling checkers, thesauri, and word processors, which won the
coveted PC Magazine Editor's Choice and Best of 1985 awards, all the
way up to the current day, when Bill Machrone of PC Magazine called
4Print "way cool", and PC/Computing picked it as one of their Ten Top
Shareware Picks.
But let it never be said we rest on our laurels. We're still hard at
work, striving to bring you some of the most innovative and useful
programming and creativity tools on the market. Here are our current
product offerings as of the date of this document. And stay tuned,
there's more good stuff on the way!

4Print (with 4Book)
The Paper-Saving and Booklet-Printing Utility
For Your LaserJet or DeskJet (or compatible)
──────────────────────────────────────────────
4Print prints two or three fully readable pages of text on each sheet
of paper using your LaserJet's or DeskJet's landscape printing capa-
bility. Even without a duplex printer, 4Print can print on both sides
of the page, yielding four, six, or even more pages of text on each
sheet!
4Print is perfect for program listings and documentation, and its
single-column mode is great for wide spreadsheets and database
reports! And not only does 4Print's reduced paper consumption mean
lower paper costs and less shelf space taken up for storing printouts,
it's also good for the ecology!
New with version 4.1 of 4Print is the companion utility 4Book, which
makes it easy to produce handsome booklets right out of your laser
printer. Booklets can be customized in dozens of ways, including
cover styles, large title fonts, boilerplate text, and even random
quotes that print out differently each time the booklet is printed.
Other 4.1 features include printing 1-4 columns of text across,
variable number of lines per page, reverse-order printing to eliminate
the need for paper shuffling, automatic line numbering, compression of
excess blank lines and page breaks, intelligent word wrap, and support

for A4 paper. A shell program facilitating use of 4Print under

PhDbase Developer's Edition
Powerful Phonetic Search Technology
──────────────────────────────────────────────
Database developers can build fast and accurate "fuzzy" searches into
their applications using the PhDbase Developer's Edition. Using a
clever hybrid of two classic approaches to inexact searching, PhDbase
delivers the speed of a Soundex-like phonetic search along with the
accuracy of older fuzzy search methods which must scan the entire
database. PhDbase even returns its search results in order from most
to least likely match.
PhDbase takes advantage of the best features of phonetic and fuzzy
searching, and at the same time, avoids their shortcomings. For
example, Soundex can't find the name "Korenthal" if you search for
"Cornthal", but PhDbase will, instantly! PhDbase is simple to
program. It uses the host database's regular indexes and also
includes a traditional fuzzy search for special needs like free-text
searching in memo fields.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PRODUCT INFORMATION Page 2 of 6
PhDbase can augment many diverse applications, such as online order
entry systems, mailing list "dedupers", contact management systems,
genealogy programs, library catalog searchers, and online reference
tools. All of these can benefit from PhDbase's powerful search tech-
nology. And PhDbase can easily be added to an existing system as an
alternate search approach when the methods currently in place fail to
find the desire record.
The PhDbase Developer's Edition supports FoxPro, Clipper 5.0 and
Summer '87, dBASE IV and III Plus, Arago, dBXL, Quicksilver, and
FoxBASE+. (Please call for availability of C/Pascal/Assembler/
Btrieve, Paradox, Oracle, and other platforms.) Free fact sheets and
demo disks are available on request.

Transitions
Special Effects Library for DOS Developers
──────────────────────────────────────────────
Bored with standard pop-up window fare? Transitions will take your
windows and fade, slide, explode, wipe, or pan them, or apply any of
dozens of other special effects. So, instead of simply popping up,
you get windows that slide in from the left. Menus that drop onto the
screen a line at a time. Browse windows that fade in and out. And
help screens that explode from one or all four corners.
Transitions is not itself an interface library─rather, it works *with*
whatever programming language and DOS text mode interface library
you're using. Whether you're programming in C, C++, Pascal, dBASE,
FoxPro, Clipper, Paradox, or any other DOS language (see note below),
with or without an attendant interface library, Transitions will make
your programs come alive!
Transitions is so easy to use, even novices can get terrific results
in minutes. Simply preface your normal display code with a simple
function call, and like magic, Transitions will intercept the display
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

changes and then display them using whatever special effect you
requested. And Transitions can do this even to built-in language
features over which you normally have no control. For example, you
can make a FoxPro browse window slide in from right to left by adding
=EnterLeft() just before the Browse command!
Transitions 1.0 $79.95 60-day money-back guarantee
Note: Release 1.0 supports FoxPro and C only; please call for
availability of other platforms. Also note that Transitions
requires a VGA or EGA display.

Babble!
A Creativity Tool For Writers
──────────────────────────────────────────────
Babble! analyzes samples of text for style and content, and then mixes
them together to generate a steady stream of nonsensical prose. Mix
Shakespeare with Harold Robbins, or Firesign Theatre with Dick and
Jane! Add special effects like Stutter and Subliminal! You can even
import your own writings! All text is controlled on-the-fly using
Babble!'s unique "text-mixing studio", and changes appear instantly.
By mixing up words and ideas, and by finding connections which are not
obvious on a straight reading of the text, Babble! is useful as a
creative tool and an idea generator for brainstorming. It has been
used to name products, inspire marketing and advertising materials,
and rescue authors from writer's block, and it's even valuable simply
as a toy for people who love words!
Babble! $35.00 60-day money-back guarantee
