                              << INTRODUCTION >>

    This  file  introduces  selected software products of  J.  W.  Olsen  / 
    Advocate  Enterprises,  Ltd., and outlines  distribution  methods.  The 
    final section may be printed as an order form for end-user licenses  or 
    upgrades.  (For  other than single-site or single-user license  or  for 
    distribution  rights, please contact us. Address and phone  [voice  and 
    24-hr. modem] information appears in the request-form section.)

    J.W. Olsen / Advocate Enterprises, Ltd., has developed diverse software 
    products  for clients, graphic artists and the general computer  public 
    since  1985.  Other  than dedicated software expressly  written  for  a 
    client,  products come in two "flavors": registered for full  usage  by 
    the  end user and "try-before-you-buy" shareware. These categories,  as 
    well  as a sampling of recent products, are outlined in this file.  For 
    further information on these or custom products, please contact us.

    Product descriptions, prices and other information contained herein are 
    subject to change without notice. While every effort is made to  assure 
    accuracy,  nothing  contained  herein shall  be  deemed  to  supersede, 
    expand,  restrict  or otherwise modify the terms and  conditions  found 
    within the license agreement provided with each product.

    REQUIREMENTS

    OPERATING  SYSTEM:  MS-DOS/PC-DOS  (v.  2.1  or  later)  or  CP/M  (any 
    version).  For CP/M, be sure to specify computer make/model for  proper 
    screen  codes; submission of a copy of the video codes page  from  your 
    operator's manual with license request is recommended.

    MEMORY:  128K for products with a filetype of ".EXE," 64K for  products 
    with a filetype of ".COM" (MS-DOS/PC-DOS); 64K for all products (CP/M).

    DISK CAPACITY: One floppy and/or one hard disk.

    THREE "FLAVORS": REGISTERED, SHAREWARE & FORTHCOMING

    The  following codes apply to all products of Advocate Enterprises  and 
    are  found in product descriptions in later sections of this  document: 
          [R] = registered
          [S] = shareware
          [F] = forthcoming soon
    All programs of Advocate Enterprises are copyrighted.

    REGISTERED:  Normal  licenses permit a single user (at  home,  office-- 
    wherever) OR all users at a single, fixed site (but not both) to use  a 
    given product. Inquire for multi-user or multi-site licenses.

    SHAREWARE:  This  is  a  distribution  concept  which  is  growing   in 
    popularity.  It  places  a  lot more trust in  you,  the  end  user.  A 
    shareware  product generally is essentially the same as its  registered 
    counterpart,  but  is distributed  under  special  "try-before-you-buy" 
    terms  defined  by the copyright holder. If you like the  product,  you 
    send  for  a registration license and in the meantime  freely  use  the 
    shareware  copy. If you can't use it, you're honor bound to  erase  the 
    shareware version or pass it along to others who perhaps  can--provided 
    you  make its files available as a complete set and without  alteration 
    of any kind except as expressly provided in related documentation,  and 
    don't charge more than nominal copying/shipping charges. (For  Advocate 
    Enterprises  products, we define that to mean no more than $10 for  our 
    products and/or any additional products distributed with them.)
          And  that's  it--nothing  to return, no  hassles,  no  paperwork. 
    Nothing  could  be  simpler and everyone gains. But  please  note  that 
    keeping your end of the bargain is more than a legal commitment, it  is 
    an  ethical  one.  Authors continue to  distribute  via  shareware  (an 
    economical way to promote their products) only so long as users  follow 
    through  on  their  part of the arrangement. If  a  shareware  approach 
    doesn't  pay the rent, you find products that turn  commercial--and  we 
    all lose.
           Please  remember that if you obtain a shareware product  from  a 
    third  party, you have NOT bought the product or registered it.  You've 
    merely  paid someone for the convenience of finding, possibly  testing, 
    announcing  availability, copying and shipping. Not bad for $10 or  so, 
    huh?  But  the  shareware author has, at that point, not  been  paid  a 
    single  penny  for  his or her work. (In fact, s/he has  gone  to  some 
    expense  just to get the product to you for evaluation.) If anyone  has 
    misled  you about this fact or you paid more than $10 for any  Advocate 
    Enterprises shareware product, please notify us.
           So what do you get when you do register a shareware product?
    1) The latest, full-featured version and all associated materials.  (We 
    are among the most active developers; unlike some others, we add  small 
    or large enhancements to many products virtually every month.)
    2) When appropriate, an installation program to change a program so its 
    default condition is to function in user-preferred ways rather than  as 
    released.  (E.g.,  ADIR's default is to display  files  alphabetically; 
    this  may  be changed to display them by filesize or  filetype  without 
    having  to  specifically request this when the program  runs.)  Or,  if 
    applicable (see individual program's documentation), you may enclose  a 
    copy  of  your  favorite Configuration File  of  user  preferences  and 
    they'll be included as automatic "default" settings every time you  run 
    the program.
    3) When appropriate, a conversion program to alter Configuration  Files 
    created with prior versions to the format used by the latest version.
    4) Telephone and 24-hr. computer modem call-in support.
    5)  Notification of significant enhancements, and receipt of  same  for 
    the cost of copying/shipping ($10 as of this writing).
    6)  For some products, a registration number with which you can earn  a 
    tidy Finders Fee for introducing others to our products.
    7) The satisfaction which only comes with integrity, and the  knowledge 
    that you are supporting the continuation of no-risk shareware products.

    FORTHCOMING

    These  products  have  yet to be officially  released  to  the  public. 
    Through this "advance-reservation" option, you gain several advantages:
    1)  License fees are generally significantly less than the  anticipated 
    price at which the product will be released.
    2)  You'll  receive  the  the first official  release  of  the  product 
    IMMEDIATELY.  The  lag time between release  and  availability  through 
    normal  channels generally involves several months  while  distributors 
    print  catalogs, place orders, etc. During that time, you'll have  full 
    access to the new capabilities.
    3)  Prior to formal release, we usually prepare interim versions  which 
    also will generally be sent to you. Not only does this provide you with 
    still  earlier  access to the new capabilities, but it  gives  you  the 
    unique  opportunity to influence what enhancements may be added  before 
    formal  release. In other words, you help the program become  what  YOU 
    would like it to be. And, you'll be aiding others in the user-supported 
    software community at the same time. (Note: "Interim version" does  NOT 
    mean  "bug-infested."  It  is a tentative "final"  version  subject  to 
    constructive enhancement.)
~ (Section 2)
                  << PRODUCTS FOR GENERAL COMPUTING NEEDS >>

    (Note:  Codes  at the end of each product description  are  defined  in 
    Section 1.)

    DIRECTORY UTILITIES: If you've been unsatisfied with programs to manage 
    your  directories  yet  didn't  want to be required  to  run  a  large, 
    sluggish, memory-hogging program or shell, DIRUTILS are for you! Member 
    programs--which  may  be  executed separately  (or  from  a  shell/menu 
    program  of your own, if you prefer), and which are  licensed  together 
    and  separately--are small, extremely fast yet  exceptionally  powerful 
    and innovative.
          ADIR, The Multi-Path Directory Sorting & Display Program, can  be 
    used  like any other sophisticated DIR program for a fast directory  of 
    filenames  and filesizes without all the clutter of  the  alternatives. 
    But it really shines when you want to COMPARE directories, or different 
    groups  of files in the same directory. You may select up to FOUR  file 
    specifications.  For  example, "ADIR *.COM *.EXE  *.BAT"  displays  all 
    executable files on the current drive, something like this:

    ADIR v. 1.13
       Path 1: *.COM
       Path 2: *.EXE
       Path 3: *.BAT
    ========== 1 ============ 2 ============= 3 ============= 4 ===========
    ADIR.COM     9911 | YOUR.EXE 110289 | YOUR.BAT  128 |
    YOUR.COM    10201 |                 |               |
    =======================================================================
       1: 2 file(s) of 20112 bytes (20 kilobytes used, 4922 free)
       2: 1 file(s) of 110289 bytes (108 kilobytes used, 4922 free)
       3: 1 file(s) of 128 bytes (1 kilobyte used, 4922 free)

           "ADIR  A:  C:\UTILS:" might be used to check a  subdirectory  on 
    your hard disk against a floppy's contents.
           If  a  single specification is entered, matching  files  display 
    across  all four columns; if two specs are entered, matching  files  of 
    each are displayed two-across. For three or four specs, each is given a 
    dedicated column.

          ASCOUT is now THE "file-finder" against which all others must  be 
    compared. You can search for MULTIPLE file specifications--on  MULTIPLE 
    drives, "normal" or "close approximation" searches, and you can specify 
    a BEGINNING directory for the search (rather than having to search  the 
    entire  drive).  ASCOUT  also "remembers" the  drive  and/or  beginning 
    directory  unless you change it later on the command line. And  with  a 
    copyrighted algorithm, you can restrict "matched" filenames to  certain 
    dates--BEFORE,  SINCE or on a given date . . . even BETWEEN two  dates! 
    All  of  these  various features can easily be  combined  in  a  single 
    request. NO other program comes close to ASCOUT!

          ATREE is somewhat similar to your operating system's TREE program 
    but  is about twice as fast and much, much more useful. (We gave up  on 
    even  using "tree" programs until we wrote ATREE.) Its display  is  far 
    more  compact  yet more readable than TREE. And  its  display  includes 
    handy enumeration, full path to each directory on the same line, amount 
    of  disk space and percentage of the drive it occupies, followed  by  a 
    summary  line of total number of directories, space occupied and  total 
    percentage occupied. And unlike TREE, screens (or printed pages) may be 
    paused--or not) . . . and more.

          CDX  (Change Directory Extended): We believe this is the  fastest 
    change-directory  program around. It also permits you to  change  drive 
    AND  directory in a single command, as simply as "CDX D:A". And  unlike 
    competitors  which insist on slow "tree" displays which  often  require 
    paging through several screens, CDX generally fits all directories on a 
    single screen (about 100). You may use this display each time, or avoid 
    it  entirely by entering your command at the  operating-system  prompt. 
    (If  you  enter  an erroneous command, a  helpful  display  and  prompt 
    automatically appear.) And more!

          You'll  find unending uses for DIRUTILS programs--and  registered 
    users  of the full package will receive planned DIRUTILS programs  when 
    available--at only the upgrade handling fee (currently $10) rather than 
    at  the increased registration fee anticipated!  MS-DOS/PC-DOS:  [R][S] 
    CP/M: [F]

    QUICK  EXTRACT, The Text-File Passage-Extraction Program: An  essential 
    tool  for writes and software developers, QEXTRACT efficiently  gathers 
    and  copies user-selected passages from an existing file to  a  second, 
    new  file  without  affecting the original. May be used  as  simply  as 
    entering filenames, yet provides various options for those who need  or 
    want  them. Works with virtually ANY word processor or text  editor.  A 
    "must-have" for anyone who works with text files of any kind. [R][S]

    QUICK HELP AND QUICK TEXT: Two separate programs for the price of  one! 
    You're  using a dedicated version of QHELP right now (modified  to  run 
    only QORDER's text file). QTEXT.COM is a very small, fast,  single-file 
    alternative.  (If a self-running README.COM or similarly-named  program 
    accompanies the program you're now using, it's a copy of QTEXT.COM.)
          Both  programs format and present ordinary text files created  by 
    virtually  any  word processor. QHELP automatically formats  screen  or 
    printer  output  from a menu-driven environment. QTEXT is  for  simpler 
    applications--often used for one- or two-screen text.
           One copy of QHELP can run an unlimited number of text files. For 
    example,  you might have one general text file with  several  sections, 
    each providing a brief screen or two about, say, word processing,  data 
    processing,  etc. In turn, each such section might end with  a  comment 
    such  as  "type  QHELP PROGRAMX to learn more  about  PROGRAMX."  QHELP 
    automatically finds and runs a default file ending with ".HLP" when the 
    user  types  QHELP  (which  may be renamed HELP,  if  you  prefer).  By 
    appending  the name of any file ending with the ".HLP"  suffix  (suffix 
    may  be  omitted), that file is run instead. The file for  the  earlier 
    example would be named PROGRAMX.HLP.
           Both   programs   are  indispensable  for   providing   "how-to" 
    information  for  colleagues,  family members  and  others  using  your 
    computers or for whom you provide advice and assistance. Licenses  also 
    are available for software developers and other distributors to include 
    these programs with their products. [R][S]

    ON-THE-FLY BATCH COMMAND PROCESSOR: (MS-DOS/PC-DOS only) If you exploit 
    your operating system's "batch" function, you'll love this one!  Unlike 
    available  "enhanced  batch processors," as its name  implies  OTFBATCH 
    prepares  batches of commands--simple to highly complex--"on the  fly." 
    That is, you can enter a series of any commands on the DOS command line 
    and  have them operate sequentially. They may be repeated  indefinitely 
    during  a single execution of the program, yet terminated at any  time. 
    The batch may be edited, execute existing, disk-based batch files--even 
    saved  to disk itself at any time. With these and still other  options, 
    OTFBATCH is an exciting new concept! [F]

    ADVOCATE UTILITIES: This product currently offers two useful functions. 
    . . .We all get files too big for our liking. (For some word processors 
    and typesetting front-end systems, this can even mean outright loss  of 
    data!) One function automatically splits an original file into  smaller 
    files,  by size or at each occurrence of a user-defined element in  the 
    file.  A  great time saver! Works on typesetting,  desktop  publishing, 
    word processing or other text-based files. . . .The second function  is 
    for WordStar lovers who receive generic ASCII files prepared by diverse 
    word  processors.  Have  you ever wanted to edit them,  or  apply  such 
    things  as  spell-checkers to them, BEFORE converting  them  for  other 
    uses? This function converts ASCII files to WordStar's normal "document 
    mode"  files,  turning  lines within paragraphs to  "soft"  line  ends! 
    Invaluable for typesetters and general computing purposes. [F]

    ADVOCATE SHELL: Like a good symphony conductor, ASHELL coordinates  all 
    our products and help programs, as well as products of others, from  an 
    inviting menu. It also provides a variety of other invaluable functions 
    to make computing much easier and enjoyable--for pros and inexperienced 
    operators  alike.  You  may never need or want to  leave  the  friendly 
    confines (apologies to the Chicago Cubs!) of ASHELL. [F]

    OTHER PRODUCTS: Advocate Enterprises offers a variety of other software 
    products--available for public sale and as private, dedicated products. 
    Staff  also serve as consultants on computer applications, systems  and 
    more.  A  complete typesetting and graphic design  department  provides 
    true  phototypesetting,  layout  and  related  services  directly  from 
    virtually any file or from hardcopy originals. Feel free to contact  us 
    at  the  address or voice/modem phone numbers provided on  the  request 
    form in the last section.
~ (Section 3)
                 << EZSYSTEM PUBLISHING PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS >>

    The  following  products are for typesetters,  desktop  publishers  and 
    those  who work with files for these environments. Additional  products 
    are planned, and others may be created on request. Have a need or idea? 
    Contact  us!  Our  address and voice/modem phone lines  appear  in  the 
    final,  request-form  section.  Codes  at  the  end  of  each   product 
    description are defined in Section 1.

    EASYTYPE: Our flagship EZSYSTEM program, EASYTYPE, The Intelligent Word 
    Processing  to Typesetting Translator, remarkably converts  files  from 
    virtually any word processing program directly into a typesetting  file 
    for  virtually any typesetting system. (A single copy can be used  with 
    MULTIPLE  typesetters!)  All "soft" and "hard" line ends  (those  which 
    wrap  around during reformatting and those which  don't,  respectively) 
    are  preserved.  All  other codes are    translated--NOT  discarded  or 
    passed  through unchecked as in most alternatives. "Open"  and  "Close" 
    quotation  marks  are converted  perfectly--eliminating  THAT  headache 
    forever.  Macro keys, which add tremendous power if and  when  desired, 
    are a keystroke away. Personal preferences can be saved to an unlimited 
    number  of  permanent Configuration Files for future use.  EASYTYPE  is 
    extremely  easy to use, yet offers the most sophisticated  capabilities 
    for those who need them. We could say so much more about this  product, 
    but space confines us. We'll only add that unsolicited compliments have 
    confirmed  that  EASYTYPE is better--and  faster--than  the  comparable 
    product by the leading typesetting manufacturer, Compugraphic,  itself. 
    Once tried, you won't be able to get along without it. Period. [R][S]

    EZREMAKE:  Remember how problematic it was to remake selected  passages 
    after outputting type? You wasted time resetting the whole job. Or, you 
    output a section but missed a critical code or bit of text? Or, you set 
    changes  separately and crossed your fingers nobody would ever use  the 
    unfixed  original  later? Or . . . .With EZREMAKE those days  are  gone 
    forever.  EZREMAKE extracts ONLY the passages you  want,  automatically 
    accompanied  by  just the right formatting codes!  Note:  A  comparable 
    program,  QEXTRACT,  is  available  for direct  use  on  ordinary  word 
    processor  files which don't involve typesetting or desktop  publishing 
    codes. [R][S]

    EASY  COLUMNS:  For typesetters and desktop publishers alike,  this  is 
    EASYTYPE's  companion to handle DATA files, whether created by  popular 
    data  processing programs or word processing programs. (It even  offers 
    unique, copyrighted data-entry methods of its own, far easier than  any 
    you've  used before.) Use EASY COLUMNS for what used to be  those  UGLY 
    tabular projects. Tables and charts now can even be a pleasure! [F]
