 About Digital Impact.            
 
 For  many   years,  Digital  Impact   has  endeavored  to   provide
 high-quality, low-cost  software. Among the vast  array of software
 available for IBM and  compatible computers, Shareware software has
 consistently  been  a  leader  in  delivering  true  value  to  the
 consumer.  Therefore, in  addition  to  the software  published and
 distributed  by Digital  Impact, the  SOFTWAREVAULT BBS  has always
 offered the best selections from the Shareware available.
 
 Now,  Digital Impact  has gone  a step  further to  ensure that the
 consumer can obtain the greatest number of quality programs for the
 lowest cost, by publishing  the SOFTWAREVAULT CD-ROM Library. Along
 with this new offering from  Digital Impact, the Digital Impact BBS
 has  changed its  name to  the SOFTWAREVAULT  BBS to  emphasize the
 enormous library of Shareware programs available over the telephone
 by modem.
 
 However,  for those  who want  to acquire  a very  large library of
 programs  quickly, the  CD-ROM Library  is the  best and most cost-
 effective method. Digital Impact has very carefully chosen programs
 from top authors  to create one of the  world's largest collections
 of Shareware and public-domain software.
 
 Shareware is a "try-before-you-buy"  method of selling software. In
 the beginning,  Shareware was purchased  directly from the  author.
 The authors were able to avoid the cost of marketing through normal
 retail channels and the consumer was able to obtain great bargains.
 One drawback, however, was the limited information available to the
 public  about what  software was  available. Distributing Shareware
 software  through computer  bulletin  boards  was the  very logical
 solution  that soon  became  standard  procedure for  all Shareware
 authors. By allowing programs to be copied from bulletin boards and
 shared  with few  restrictions, Shareware  is able  to reach a much
 greater number of users.
 
 The SOFTWAREVAULT BBS is one of the better bulletin boards bringing
 shareware to the consumer. We  maintain a good working relationship
 with  the  authors  and  afford  them  the  chance to present their
 software in  an electronic marketplace  at a greatly  reduced cost.
 The  distribution  of  Shareware  software  by  CD-ROM  is the next
 logical progression.  It is like downloading  thousands of programs
 from  the BBS  at once.  The same  Shareware rules and requirements
 apply, of course, but you receive so many programs at one time that
 you can instantly build an impressive software library.
 
 Digital  Impact  pays  a  great  deal  of  attention  to all of the
 software  it  distributes.  All  programs  uploaded  to our BBS are
 carefully tested  and reviewed to ensure  performance and to detect
 the presence  of a virus.  The software is  copied to high  quality
 streaming   tapes  and   our  CD-ROM   discs  are   produced  using
 state-of-the-art technology. And, of course, our technical staff is
 available to help with any questions you might have.
 
 From our beginning, Digital Impact has recognized that the consumer
 is  the  very  most  important  link  in  the  chain  of successful
 distribution. The success of Digital  Impact in distributing all of
 the  software  it  carries  has  depended  upon  listening  to, and
 understanding, the  needs of our  clients, and providing  solutions
 when they are  needed. The same is true for  our CD-ROM Library. We
 want to hear from you and learn what can be improved in the future.
 Feel free to use all of the means of communicating with us for this
 purpose, including leaving messages for us on our BBS.

 The shareware concept makes it possible for you to obtain extremely
 powerful software at  a price you can afford, and  it gives you the
 opportunity to try the software before you register.
 
 The   Association   of   Shareware   Professionals   (ASP),  is  an
 organization  formed to strengthen  the  future of  shareware.  Its
 members, all  of whom are programmers  that subscribe to a  code of
 ethics, are  committed to the concept  of shareware as a  method of
 marketing.
 
 The ASP sets standards for its members and their shareware products
 which provide  (among other things)  that programs produced  by ASP
 members must be fully documented, non-crippled, and offered with at
 least a minimum level of support.  It also  sets the  standards for
 shareware  disk  vendors  and  provides  information to  the public
 about shareware.
 
 Shareware  software is  a  unique  marketing approach  which allows
 consumers to  purchase  software  directly  from  the author.  This
 eliminates  costly  marketing,  promotion,  and packaging; allowing
 consumers  to  obtain  quality  software   at  a  fraction  of  the
 commercial  cost.  Shareware  authors  allow  their  programs to be
 copied and  distributed with few restrictions.  Shareware users are
 encouraged  to  examine  a  program,  copy  it,  and  pass it on to
 friends.  If users find the software program useful, they are asked
 to register with the software author.  This usually  means paying a
 registration fee directly to the  shareware author.  In  return for
 this  registration fee,  "registered  users"  receive the  right to
 continue  to  use  the  software  and  added  benefits such as full
 documentation,  technical  support,  and   future  updates  of  the
 program.
 
 Registration is the key to  success for the  shareware concept.  If
 you try  a program and  it does  not  meet your needs,  you are not
 expected to register.  However, if you try a  program, like it, and
 continue  to  use  it,  you  should  compensate  the  author with a
 registration fee.  Registration also insures further development of
 the  program.  Shareware  is  the  "try-before-you-buy"   method of
 software  distribution that  will  literally  save you  hundreds of
 dollars on software purchases.
 
 Digital  Impact,  Inc.,  distributor  of  The  SoftwareVault, is an
 approved  vendor  and  associate   member  of  the  Association  of
 Shareware  Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants  to make  sure that  the
 shareware principle works  for you. If you are  unable to resolve a
 shareware-related  problem with  an  ASP  member by  contacting the
 member directly,  ASP may be  able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman  can
 help you resolve a dispute or  problem with an ASP member, but does
 not provide  technical support for members'  products. Please write
 to the ASP Ombudsman at 545  Grover Road, Muskegon MI 49422-9427 or
 send a CompuServe  Mail message to ASP Ombudsman  70007,3536 or FAX
 616-788-2765.

 Register your favorite shareware  programs directly with the author
 of the shareware  program.  These  authors work  many long hours to
 produce  and  test  these  programs  that  are on the SoftwareVAULT
 CD-ROM.  They have earned the right to be paid for their efforts by
 the sweat of their brow.
 
 The registration price for a shareware is usually very small ($5.00
 -  $85.00 US).  Registering  a  program  brings  with it additional
 benefits.  In most cases, you  will get the  latest version  of the
 program  and   a  printed  manual.  Most   shareware  programs  are
 constantly  being improved  so when  you register,  there is a good
 chance  that  you  will  get  a  newer  version  the  one  you  are
 registering for.  You will also be  eligible for technical  support
 (usually by phone, letter or  CompuServe).  The  registered version
 will also  be free of any  trailers or opening (nag) screens on it,
 telling you to register.
 
 If you register a program from  outside of the USA, you should mail
 the author a US-draft or a bank check in US-Dollars.  If the author
 accepts Visa  or  Mastercard,  you  can  simply  give  your  Visa /
 Mastercard number and expiration date.
 
 The  usual  period  of  time  for  evaluation  of  a program before
 registering is about 30 days.
 
 All files  on The SoftwareVault Collection  CD-ROM's are tested for
 viruses, using  the internationally recognized  standard anti-virus
 utility, ViruScan, from McAfee Associates.

 Digital Impact Incorporated is principally a software publisher. We
 design, publish and directly support a line of proprietary software
 in several categories.
 
 We  design a  wide range  of products,  from a  menu and  utilities
 package for  novices and average users  to multi-media programs for
 the home. In addition, we assemble, manufacture, and distribute the
 SoftwareVAULT collections of shareware on CD-ROM and the ImageVAULT
 collections of digitized images on CD-ROM.
 Our SoftwareVAULT line is unique because it includes a large number
 of  programs  -  several  thousand  -  and  because  no  program is
 duplicated in  any other general collection.  Users get hundreds of
 megabytes  of programs,  many of  which are  better than commercial
 programs. As a  bonus, we include free of  charge the SoftwareVAULT
 Librarian, a complete database of all the files on the CD.
 
 With this  powerful tool you can  search for any subject.  When you
 select a  program, The Librarian creates  the necessary directories
 (if instructed to), copies the program from the CD-ROM, and unpacks
 the  programs and  files for   you. The  Librarian can  also create
 directory  listings for  most any  BBS, or  export information to a
 file in any  one of several word processing  formats, and filter or
 search by any subject.
 
 What  really  distinguishes  Digital  Impact  from  other  software
 publishers  is  the  depth  of  knowledge  we  maintain for all the
 software we carry. When you  telephone our technical support staff,
 you speak with an experienced person  who is familiar with not only
 our products, but also with every facet of the complex problems the
 industry faces.
 
 We stand behind every product we sell and we value every one of our
 customers. We  provide genuine help when  you need it and  we offer
 the   same  high   quality  of   service  to   end-users,  dealers,
 distributors and OEMs.
 
 We maintain a 24-hour Bulletin  Board with separate conferences for
 each of  our products. In  addition to the  free software which  is
 available  on  the  Bulletin  Board,  information  is  exchanged by
 programmers, dealers  and VARs and  the Bulletin Board  may also be
 used  to send  us a  technical inquiry,  request assistance  with a
 special problem or ask for technical support. Our products may also
 be ordered by credit card on the  Bulletin Board at any time of the
 day or night, or by phone during business hours.
 
 When you  buy, resell or distribute  Digital Impact's products, you
 also  receive  the  knowledge  and  experience  necessary to ensure
 satisfaction and performance.
 
 Shareware Authors that wish to have their software approved for any
 of  our SoftwareVAULT  Collections should  send complete  copies of
 their programs (uncrippled and as you want them to appear) to:
