Program's Complete Description:
------------------------
* EZ-Forms PRO Rel. 97F Ultimate, Enterprise-Wide Electronic Forms Designer and Filler System for Windows 95/NT/(3.1x w/Win32s)!

EZ-Forms PRO is a solution for your ENTIRE ENTERPRISE. 
Focus is on Virtual Paper Forms™ fill-out for everone at your
location. EZ-Forms PRO's Designer and Filler "Engines" are
separated so that the forms developer may control form creation
completely. The LAN-ready Filler module is licensed
(at one low price) for use at the entire site and of course,
can fill or edit only those fields the designer allows.
(Corporate and Developer Licenses also available.)
In addition, EZ-Forms PRO Designer and Filler modules are "code-locked"
to each other, so that no other licensee of EZ-Forms may access your
forms unless they have your Filler. This provides for the ultimate in
security for sensitive applications. The Corporate and Developer
Editions are also Internet and Intranet enabled!

EZ-Forms PRO "Objects" can be linked into any program that is
"OLE" enabled, like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excell,
Microsoft Access, Microsoft Word, etc.

Unlike page document composition, EZ-Forms' logical object oriented
drawing tools are specifically tailored and optimized for forms
design and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get)   
interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use. Font 
size, typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission) 
are limited only by what is available under Microsoft Windows 
for your system.   For truly flexible forms production, you can 
even print the filled-in data and the form at the same time or, 
fill-out to pre-printed forms.

** EZ-Forms<tm> PRO the "EZ-Forms eXecutive" for
   "Virtual Paper Forms" in for Windows is *the* Visual Forms
   Automation Processor!

** Create, Fill-Out (internal), Fill-In (pre-printed), Modify,
   Navigate, Compute, Validate, Save, Revise, ANY FORM in minutes!
  
** WYSIWYG, multiple open forms, cut/paste, protected
   fields/objects, much, much, more.

** SCAN your form directly into EZ-Forms PRO with your TWAIN 
   compliant scanner.

* Whether your business is small or large, you can easily
  and quickly Create/Scan and fill any document,
  Fill-in (internally generated forms),
  Fill-out (pre-printed forms), Compute (math and logical),
  Validate, Save, Save-as, Revise, and/or Print (even to FAX)
  all kinds of forms in minutes.

* You can save time and money by importing any Windows bitmap
  (.BMP, .PCX) graphic image (including scanned existing forms,
  logos & signatures). You can now scan a form (or any other
  graphic) directly via your TWAIN compliant scanner, or import 
  any device independent bitmap via Windows clipboard. Then
  simply insert fill-out fields, add calculations, validations,
  etc., if you wish, and your form is done!
  What could be easier?

* Filling out forms is easier than ever with field ordering, pick
  lists, field help, field validation, calculations and more.

* Create custom forms (lines, boxes, etc.) on screen 
  and add fill-out fields, clip art, graphic images, signatures,
  scanned photographs, and even video movies (eg. .AVI) or sound
  clips (eg. .WAV) via Window's OLE feature!

* You can even fill-out pre-printed forms! You can have internally
  created forms or scanned images visible on screen, but be declared
  non-printable. Thus only your data entries are printed where you
  want them!

* EZ-Forms<tm> PRO for Windows is here!!!

* EZ-Forms PRO is GREAT FOR:
 * Perfect form fill-out.
 * Commercial Printers ... speeds form design, modification.
 * In house publication departments ... Improve response time,
   ease update process, cut costs.
 * Low cost forms development ... Develop and print all of your
   forms without outside help.
 * Printing any quantity of custom forms on your laser printer
   ... on demand!
 * Great for basic desktop publishing too!

* EZ-Forms PRO's focus is on forms design, production and fill-out.
  Unlike page document composition, the logical object oriented
  drawing and scanning tools are specifically tailored and optimized
  for forms design and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what
  -you-get) interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use.
  Font size,  typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission)
  are limited only by what is available under Microsoft Windows for your
  system.  For truly flexible forms production, you can even print the
  filled-in data and the form at the same time or, fill-out to
  pre-printed forms.


* CREATE TYPESET QUALITY FORMS IN HOUSE:
  You can design and modify your forms instantly. Creating a 
  new form in house gives you complete control over the process.
  Feedback on how it looks is immediate. You can design forms
  for cut sheet and continuous forms applications. Print your
  new design on your laser printer, or for even higher resolution,
  send Postscript output to a phototypesetter. By retaining
  control of the forms design, you can lower the costs and
  turnaround time without sacrificing quality. By printing your 
  own on demand forms on your laser printer, you can economize
  by reducing stock of pre-printed forms. Another benefit is
  the reduction of obsolescence of forms.

* SCAN EXISTING FORMS FOR IMMEDIATE PRODUCTIVITY:
  Coupled with your TWAIN compliant scanner, EZ-Forms PRO can 
  easily process images directly from your scanner. Just think, 
  you can have your first form ready-to-go in minutes! No form 
  design experience required.

* You can easily customize any of the 100+ included form templates 
   to create any new form you desire.

*  DESIGN FORMS QUICKLY and EASILY:
   * Using the display screen and mouse, you can perform fully
     interactive forms composition by creating and manipulating
     various "objects". 
   * WYSIWYG means that the screen looks like the final printed
     from, showing typefaces, font sizes, lines, rectangles, 
     rounded rectangles, ellipses, circles, shading, logos, etc.
     Size any object for creative impact.
   * Text can be automatically word-wrapped, justified (left, 
     center, right, full), fonted, colored, etc. in any text
     or fill-out field. 
   * Fill out fields have a robust list of features to make
     fill in almost idiot proof! (See below for details.)
   * INCORPORATE GRAPHICS AND PATTERNS: Logos, signatures and
     scanned images can be added to your form. Tools are
     provided to scale, copy, delete and move images
     and objects like text, lines, fill-out fields, etc.

Other Form Design and Fill-out Features include:
* Extensive on-line help and MANUAL with BROWSE, TEXT SEARCH, PRINT.
  FPR's powerful Browse and global Text search features (not available
  in "regular" Windows help files) will allow you to find any topic,
  word, or phrase quickly. You will also be able to print any topic
  or group of topics on demand. The unique "tree" structure gets you
  to your information fast. NEVER be without your manual again!
* Robust Calculations - Over fifty field-oriented mathematical
  and logical functions are supported.
* Field Type Selection: Character, Numeric, Date, Calculated or Logical
* Automatic field options include: Number, Date, Time, Calculated,
  and Remember. Override enable/disable is available too.
* Field naming by number (Default) or any character string you wish.
* Numeric fields with selectable number of visible digits and
  leading/trailing zero suppression.
* Field Pick Lists (Ctrl-L or icon initiated) allow annotated
  pre-determined data entry selections for real "no-brainer" fill-out/in.
* Field Help (Ctrl-H or icon initiated) allows the forms designer to input
  custom form help for each field of the form. Kind of like having the
  expert looking over the filler's shoulder.
* Field Validation (numeric, logical, or date) assures proper data entry
  structure. Override (with customizable error message) is allowable
  if there are errors.
* Built-in support for MAPI (mail application programming interface)
  compatible Email (Electronic Mail).
* On-screen grid (user adjustable; does not print) and
  snap-to-grid allow very quick and precise positioning of
  all objects and fields.
* Fill-out master or modify completed forms. No need to
  retype redundant information. 
* Open multiple forms at once for quick reference or cut-and-paste.
* Multiple form views can be full window, window cascade,
  tile view, or reduced to icons.
* Six different working view magnifications (2 are user 
  adjustable) 25% to 300% are available for even the most
  intricate work.
* Precise continuous coordinate display for accurate positioning.

  appearance and operation of the program.

  change orientation and color.

  pen line styles, 10 thicknesses and eight brush patterns.
* Other drawing tools include rectangle, round rectangle, and
  ellipse which can be melded with any of the brush patterns. 
* Fill-out fields can be placed anywhere on the form, and in fill-out 
  mode, the master part (or background) of the form cannot be modified 
  so as to assure perfectly filled out forms every time.
* Print preview any form before committing to hard copy.
* Print to any Windows supported device, even directly to your
  FAX/modem (third party drivers required) for immediate transmission
  of your form.
* Use any Windows font including Bar Codes, and special characters like 
  Wingdings.
* Quickly bold, underline, italicize, strike-through, etc. any character
  or group of characters.
* Objects, including graphics, pictures, sound clips, video clips, 
  etc. can be inserted quickly and easily via Window's OLE (Object
  Linking and Embedding v1.0 & 2.0) feature from almost any other
  Windows program.
* Edited .BMP files (via WinPaintbrush and many other programs) can
  be linked to any EZ-Forms PRO master form.
* Images can be scanned directly into FPR forms from your TWAIN 
  compliant scanner.
* Images may be linked to a separate file or embedded in each form.
* You can even paste text from your trusty ol' DOS programs via
  Window's clipboard.

New Features in Release 97F include:
* True 32 Bit Release for Windows 95 and NT.

* Incresed maximum length available for calculations.
  Add a long column, nest several IIF() statements, more character
  spaces available for your calculations.
* Overwrite of FRM master form when saving FOM/FOF fillout mode 
  files is no longer allower.
  Prevents accidentally selecting Edit-Fillout and double-clicking
  the master form, causing you to loose hours of work.
* When a linked BMP is not found, search in current work directory
  and EXE/Home directory before asking user for its location.
  This reduces the size of forms by linking image files that can be
  shared from several workstations.

P.S. Our area code changed recently (Nov. 2, '96)
from 713 to 281. It has come to our attention
that some telephone central offices are not yet
programmed to recognize this new style area code.
If you have problems getting through, try area
code 713 which will be "permissive" through
April '97.
P.P.S. We've been further informed that the
Houston area may get 2 new area codes in 1998.
If you cannot get through, call 713-555-1212
to find out what our new area code may have
changed to. (What a mess?)

Important:
Our toll-free numbers are answered by operators who know absolutely
nothing about software.

  understand less about computers than most cats understand about
  quantum mechanics. They cannot advise you about software features,
  provide you with any sort of technical support, check order status,
  modify or cancel orders, pass messages along to technical support
  or customer service or transfer your call to someone more
  knowledgeable.

  They only take credit card orders. 

  If you call our order line and ask to do anything other than place
  an order, they will refer you to our main office number,
  1-281-280-9900.
  
  The main office number is available ~8:00am to ~6:00pm
  Central USA Time.

If you need to get in touch with us for any other matter, please send

We can accept orders using AmericanExpress/Optima, MasterCard, Visa and
Discover/Novus. Overseas credit cards can be accepted, as long as their
card numbers start with the digits 3, 4, or 5.  6 is for Discover, which
is USA only, so far.

* Please note: Only the registered DRP (with
  registration form and proof of purchase on
  file) of our products qualify for support.
* There may be a support charge under certain
  conditions. DRP = Designated Resource Person

  support you when you need it.

Internet Delivery Option:
Internet program delivery for ANY of our products is available for a "Shipping and Handling" fee of $50 per program in addition to basic cost of the program.

If you wish to pay via Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express), there is a special procedure described below.

Payment for same MUST be made by check, money order, or wire transfer to our bank's inbound holding account. The reason for this is that there is no physical delivery and no way of verifying that product was actually delivered. Sorry, no credit cards or CODs. POs are OK, but we will invoice you and post files as soon as payment is received.

As soon as we receive "clear funds", we will compile or assemble your product(s) and post them in password protected .ZIP files on a special cutomer-only internet site. There will be one file for each installation diskette, so that all you need do is decompress and copy to the appropriate installation diskette.

One of the best reasons to opt for Internet Delivery is that for some countries, you can avoid customs duties entirely. There may be some currency controls, but these are in the minority.

The next best reason is speed. We can usually post your software within hours of receipt of clear funds.

Payment Information:
- We gladly accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus or American Express credit cards via phone or FAX for all USA orders. International orders require a copy of your credit card, signature and statement be FAXed in to us.

- Your credit card will not be charged until the order is shipped. We will inform you of availability when you place your order.

- If your organization only works with Purchase Orders (POs), send or FAX us a copy of the P.O. We will then send or FAX you an invoice, and ship the program(s) as soon as we receive payment (clear funds.)

- We cannot accept C.O.D orders. Please mail a USA negotiable check or money order.

- Please allow up to two weeks for a personal or company check to clear.

- USA negotiable checks must have the 9-digit Federal Reserve routing number printed on the bottom in MICR ink, for us to be able to cash them with out severe delay and cost (4-6 weeks and $50+ in collection fees.) The check must be in US dollars and drawn on a USA bank or a USA branch of your favorite bank. The check must be payable through the "New York Clearinghouse" (not a bank) for the fastest turnaround. When in doubt, use American Express USA$ Money Orders. 

- We also accept wire transfers. Call, Email, or FAX us for details.
