                   FREE & EASY for Shareware Disk Vendors

Dear Vendor:

Thank you for distributing FREE & EASY.  This shareware version is contained
in the self extracting file FE.EXE.  In order to allow all the files which
make up the package fit in one self extracting file of 360 K, three files of
the Instruction Book (the appendix) and four lessons of the tutorials are
omitted.  If you wish to distribute FREE & EASY in its uncompressed form or a
compressed form with all the files contact Free and Easy Software.
Alternately you can download the entire FREE & EASY package from CompuServe
(the file FE.ZIP in IBMAPP, LIB #6) and distribute this.

The file README.TXT should be distributed with FE.EXE as it contains brief
instructions on how to extract the FREE & EASY files from FE.TXT.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: A software package that allows users to easily set up
calculations and what-if analysis in a freestyle, user defined format.

DESCRIPTION: FREE & EASY is designed to make your calculations and what-if
analysis easy to set up and easy to follow. You are not forced into a grid of
rows and columns as in a spreadsheet. Instead you use a freestyle, user
defined structure.  Start with a blank sheet, then add cells (similar to cells
in a spreadsheet), descriptive text, variables and ranges on the sheet
wherever suits you. It is you who define the structure of the sheet.

Over 200 on-line context sensitive and hyperlinked help topics are available
within the FREE & EASY environment. The FREE & EASY package comes with
tutorials and Instruction Book- both of which can be accessed inside or
outside the FREE & EASY environment. These features, along with the freestyle
design of FREE & EASY make learning fast and easy.

The user can set how FREE & EASY does calculations. Several sheets and windows
can be opened at one time. "Make" files can be saved so FREE & EASY can
remember where you left off in your last session. All common editing features
(search and replace, cut and paste) are included. A DOS shell and screen
blanker as well as several sample sheets showing various applications are also
included. Registered users receive a FREE & EASY newsletter periodically
containing sample applications, author feedback, users letters, questions and
answers.
