General Description
==============================================================
MemberTies is a club membership tracking application written 
for Windows 95/98. It will not run on Windows 3.x.  

It provides functionality to track member contact information, 
membership status, dues payments and payment history for your 
membership, as well as the ability to track general 
contact information for other clubs. Relationships can be
defined and tracked between multiple membership records as well
as between membership records and clubs. Many predefined reports 
are provided, and several of those reports can be customized 
to show only certain membership statuses, dates, etc. All data 
is stored in a Sybase SQL Anywhere database. Complete online 
help is provided.
