- WinPrice 1.0 Picks Your Best Deal
-
- Open Windows has developed a new special-purpose home
- finance utility for Microsoft Windows. Users can quickly
- enter Quantity, select Units and enter Price for each of two
- purchase alternatives. WinPrice then analyzes the numbers,
- performs the necessary Unit and Quantity conversions and
- provides the user with a determination of which choice is
- the most cost-effective and by what percentage.
-
- WinPrice provides the cost of the lower priced alternative
- in the "most sensible" intermediate unit of measure and can
- be toggled between metric and English output representation.
-
- As an example, consider the following problem. Should you
- purchase 1 liter of JiffyQuench for $1.29 or a gallon for
- $4.87. Not very amenable to the quick mental calculation!
- WinPrice will quickly tell you that JiffyQuench for $4.87 a
- gallon is a better buy, but only by .27% at $1.287/liter (or
- $1.218 per quart, if you prefer English units) - maybe not
- worth keeping those big bottles around!
-
- You'll find that WinPrice is a great tool for cutting
- through the advertising hype and "Giant Economy Size" claims
- to find out how much you're really saving!
-
- WinPrice 1.0 can be ordered by phone at 800-531-0403 for
- $9.95 plus $3.00 S&H. The program is also available on
- CompuServe's WINSHARE and WINUTIL Forums. America Online
- in the Windows Forum. In addition to the online Help,
- support is available via CompuServe, America Online,
- Internet or US Mail. Requires Windows 3.1.
