        Although some prefer the simplicity of version-2 (this disk),
        and do not need the extra features of versions 4.0.  Below is a
        brief run-down of what features were added to the newer version.
        This may help you decide which version is better suited to your
        business needs.


        WHAT'S NEW?

        * A new purchase-order system added!  Print purchase orders and
          track orders to your vendors.

        * Vendor maintenance has been revised with new fields for 800
          and FAX numbers, and more informative reports.

        * Type personal comments about an item "free-hand" on an invoice
          during order-entry.

        * Change an index with a key stroke!  For example, if a report
          is indexed by account number, you can change it to alphabetize
          on customer's last name or company name.  Or, maybe you would
          rather index on the item's description instead of the item
          number.

        * Rate your customers with A, B, C or D.  Suppose you would
          just like to send a mailing to your A-rated customers, you
          can simply print out mailing labels only for your A-customers.

        * Separate database for sales prospects--those who haven't ordered
          yet.  It will also remind you of when to call them back.

        * Allows you to select from two different invoice styles.

        * You set the re-order point for each individual item number,
          so when an item reaches it's point--the system will remind
          you to re-order that item.  You can also print a report of
          all items that are low in stock.  For those of you who do
          not use the inventory-tracking part of the program--you can
          enter a quantity of 999,999 for each item number so the
          system will not warn you that your stock is low.

        * To save time and paper, you can view reports on-screen as well
          as printed.

        * Add new customers "On-The-Fly"!  Now you can go straight to order
          entry even if the customer does not exist in the system.  When you
          enter a non-existing account number in Order Entry, the system will
          ask if you would like to add this customer instead of sending you
          back to Account Maintenance, which is great for "point-of-sale",
          or just for extra speed.

        * Look up the current status of an order, or list all previous
          invoice numbers of a particular customer.

        * Handles up to five price levels ranging from retail to wholesale.
          The system will ask you which price level to charge each account
          only once--during the opening of the new account, and will
          automatically charge the correlating price level to each subsequent
          order.

        * When printing mailing labels you can select from All, Dealers,
          Customers, Current, Previous, Next, or Tagged entries.

        * Now you can print more than one invoice at a time.  Just enter the
          starting and ending invoice numbers.

        * If you are entering an order, and the item number that the customer
          selected has been discontinued or is out of stock, instead of losing
          the sale, select Alternate Listing and the system will display
          everything else in that category.

        * A field for credit-card numbers during order-entry.

        * Credit card reports have also been added.

        * A department/code field has been added on the order-entry screen
          to track advertising dollars.  You can ask the customer where
          they saw you ad; or which catalog they are ordering from; enter
          a code here, and later print a report of all sales derived from
          a certain ad or catalog.

        * Quantity pricing has been added for those of you who give their
          customers a price break if they are buying in quantity.

        * You can enter a negative dollar amount to adjust an order.  For
          example, ITEM# = 100,  DESCRIPTION = "Special Discount"
          PRICE= "-$10.00"

        * Now you can have taxable and nontaxable items together on the same
          invoice.

        * Edit pricing on invoices during order-entry, simply by overwriting
          the given price.

        * Inventory items may be divided into an unlimited number of
          categories.

        * Raise or lower all prices (by percentage) with a key stroke, or
          raise/lower all prices just in a selected category.

        * Report on the value of your total inventory; cost or sell price.

        * Billing.  Print monthly statements and late notices.

        * Postal code (zip) has been made alpha-numeric to accommodate
          Canadians and other countries.

        * A user-defined field has been added at the bottom of the
          invoice.  You can name this field what ever you like.  For
          example: "labor", and then you would enter the dollar amount.

                          __________________________

        Initially, The Order Pro was designed specifically for the mail-
        order business, but it seemed to grab the interest of other types
        of businesses as well.  Many of the new features you see above,
        are the result of the most popular registered-users' suggestions.

        The Order Pro was intended to be as adaptable as possible to
        accommodate many different business types, and save the small to
        mid-size business owner hundreds to thousands of dollars on
        having to hire a programmer to write a custom automation system.

        We suggest that you thoroughly test the program, make a list of
        your questions, and call our customer service representative to
        answer your questions.
