    Keeping track of names, addresses, and almost any kind of data just
    got easier. ButtonWare has released buttonFile for Windows. All
    users will be up and running instantly. There is NO learning curve
    with this program. You do not even need the manual. It IS that easy
    to use.

    Once started, you can select from any of over a dozen templates, to
    quickly start entering data. Templates you can choose from: Book or
    Music Library, Credit Cards, Home Inventory, Mailing List, Recipes,
    Software or Video Library, Rolodex or Business Cards and more. You
    can design a deck based on a template, or create your own. Creation
    or editing is very easily done.

    I found the Software Library deck very useful. How many of you have
    registration information for all your products on hand? Using this
    deck you enter the information in buttonFile and always have it at
    your fingertips. The program allows you to print your data on over
    100 pre-defined and customizable forms. Print lists, mailing labels,
    3x5 cards, envelopes, Avery Dennsion labels and forms, and others.
    buttonFile has full TrueType support, and supports Multiple Document
    Interface (MDI) which allows you to have multiple card files open at
    the same time.

    Import and Export from many popular software formats: dBase, ASCII
    (comma delimited), WordPerfect merge, Windows Cardfile, PC-File and
    TakeNote. Use Password Protection and encryption, auto-dial any
    phone number stored on a card or sort data in any preferred order.
    Using index buttons browse through data quickly.

    buttonFile will render database programs obsolete for many users.
    Those who want to keep simple names and address or lists, and get
    confused by macros and queries, will feel right at home with
    buttonFile. You do not have to learn or know anything. Jim Button
    has made it as simple as it can get. The only way it could be easier
    is if you were to have someone enter the data for you. The price is
    also very attractive, and should please those on a budget. It proves
    that quality software does not have to have a premium price tag.

    If you use Windows and your store any kind of data, but find a full
    database too much, look into buttonFile. It is easy, yet powerful. A
    LAN version should be available by the time you read this review.
