Shareware Programs of Interest to Printers

          The  following  programs  are  all  shareware. The $5 per disk we
          charge goes towards the maintenance  of  the  library,  etc.  The
          author receives no part of this fee. In each description you will
          find  the  author's requested "registration" fee. If you find the
          softwareuseful you should compensate the author for  his  efforts
          by  sending  him the requested registration fee. You are under no
          obligation topay the author for the program if you do not use it.
          For anexplanation of "shareware", see the article at the  end  of
          this catalog.

          Please  note  that  the  below  listed  programs are only a small
          number of the many programs we have. A complete  listing  of  our
          some  40,000  programs is available free of charge on disk. These
          are some of the more popular ones of specific interest  to  those
          in  the  graphic  artsindustry.  Many  of  these programs require
          Windows, but since  virtually  all  printers  using  the  PC  are
          working  with  Windows,  it  is assumed that you are working with
          Windows.  If  you  do  not  have  acopy   of   VBRUN100.DLL   and
          VBRUN200.DLL  in  your  Windows  directory  let  us know when you
          order and we will include those two files at no charge with  your
          order.  They  are required for many Windowsprograms, but you only
          need one copy in the Windows  directory  for  all  programs  that
          require it.

          GR-3006  HOTDIR.  This  is without question the most used utility
          inour shop.  A  replacement  for  the  DOS  DIR  command,  HOTDIR
          displaysyour  directory in user defined blazing colors, sorted by
          howeveryou want the directory sorted -  by  filename,  extension,

          the commercial word processors, this program supports hundreds of
          printers  through  a  simple  menu-driven setup program. Included
          features  are  automatic  reformatting  and   pagination,   spell

          GR-1940  AS  EASY AS. Without question the top Lotus 1-2-3 clone.
          It looks and feels like Lotus  with  the  same  features.  Moving
          from  Lotus  to  As Easy As is transparent. It uses Lotus ver 1A,

          available. 2 disks. $10

          GR-1904  PKZIP240E. This is the file compression utility everyone
          is talking about. It's fast  and  has  an  excellent  compression
          percentage. $5

          GR-1905  LHA.  This  is the file compression utlity we use in our
          shop and on our BBS. While it doesn't compress quite as small  as
          PKZIP  (#GR-1904),  it  is  Bannerware and we have found it to be
          very reliable. $5

          GR-1724 FORMATQM. This is our favorite disk  formatter.  FormatQM
          will  format  160k,  180k,  320k,  360k, 720k, 1.2M, and 1.44M in
          either drive A, B, C, or D. It is fast, formatting a 360k disk in
          about 40 seconds. There is a thermometer scale at the  bottom  of
          the  screen  to  let  you  know  how far into the format you are.
          Depending upon how you set it up, it  will  only  format  perfect
          disks  (rejecting  ones  with  bad  sectors) or will mark any bad
          sectors. It  saves  you  keystrokes  because  you  simply  insert
          another disk once the first one is formatted and it automatically
          starts  again,  giving  you a count of the number formatted. With
          the right hardware it can format up to 4 disks at the same  time.
          $5

          GR-1723  COPYQM.  Similar  to  FormatQM (#GR-1724) except that it
          automatically makes multiple copies of a master disk. $5

          GR-0565 AUTOMENU. Considered to be the leader  in  menu  programs
          and  one  of the most popular of all shareware programs, Automenu
          is very easy to set up and is extremely powerful. It  has  online
          help,  mouse  support,  is network compatible, has ability to use
          passwords, has timed execution, and much, much more. $5

          GR-1208 FORMGENII. An  excellent  program  to  help  you  design,
          print  and store forms easily. The program's features include box
          drawing,  text  centering,  check  boxes,  arrows,   area   fill,
          calibration   of  lines,  a  form  previewer  and  graphic  print
          capability. $5

          GR-1208A FORMFILL. This  is  a  companion  program  to  FormGenII
          (#GR-  1208)  which works with your pre-defined forms to put your
          information in the boxes and print  them  out.  It  automatically
          fills  in  date,  time and sequentially numbered fields. Can also
          print blank pre-defined forms. Some sample forms are included. $5

          GR-1768 FILE EXPRESS.  This  is  a  fast  and  powerful  database
          system  that  is  full  of  features  and  easy  to learn for the
          unexperienced user. I don't know what the limit of the number  of
          records  possible  is, but it exceeds 16 million and allows up to
          120 fields per record with up to 250 characters per field.  There
          is outstanding reporting which allows for custom column headings,
          etc.  Other  features  include  duplicate deleting, undeleting of
          deleted records, printer controls,  search  on  multiple  fields,
          import and export of dBase III and .WK1 files, etc. 3 disks. $15

          GR-0676  QMMODEM.  One  of  the  most  popular and easiest to use
          pieces of communications software, QModem is the program we  use.
          It  is  superior  to  many  of  the  commercial  programs  and is
          surpassed in sales by very few shareware  programs.  It  supports
          most  transfer protocals, offers upload and download capabilities
          and has an outstanding dialing directory which has the capability
          of automatically setting up script files. 4 disks. $20

          GR-1634  GRAPHIC  WORKSHOP.  What  a  wonderful   tool.   Graphic
          Workshop  allows  you  to  view,  dither,  batch convert from one
          format to another, crop, scale, print and more. Formats supported
          are BMP, EPS, GIF, IMG, MAC, MSP, PIC , PCX, TIF, TGA, CUT,  RLE,
          IFF/LBM,  and  .WPG  (raster).  You  can  also  invert, halftone,
          rotate, flip, adjust contrast, etc. This is a must. 2 disks. $10

          GR-3007 GEMCAP. Another great little tool. GEMCap will allow  you
          to  do  a direct capture of a screen as an .IMG file. It works on
          CGA, EGA, and VGA (16-color, not 256) using a built-in bitmapping
          font. Great when you need to capture a screen to  import  into  a
          document. $5

          GR-1897  PRINTER's  APPRENTICE.  Another  must  for  those in the
          graphic arts industry. PA will print a type  style  book  of  all
          your  Type1  or  TrueType  fonts  in one of a number of different
          formats. It even allows you to customize the titles on each  page
          This  is  the  professional  way  of  showing your available type
          styles. $5

          GR-1733 WINCLIP. This  is  another  one  of  my  favorites.  With
          Winclip  you  can  print  a  catalog of your clipart. The program
          handles  either  PCX  or  BMP  files.  I  use  Graphic   Workshop
          (#GR-1634)  to quickly scale and batch convert my graphics to BMP
          format and scale them to equal size, then use Winclip to print my
          catalog, which has about 20 pictures per  page.  I  have  printed
          tens  of  thousands  of pieces of clipart using Winclip and don't
          know how I would get along without it. $5

          GR-3008 ROCKFORD. Remember the TV  series,  the  Rockford  Files,
          where  Jim  Rockford  would  print up a business card whenever he
          needed one? Well you can do the same with Rockford v2.5. You  can
          design,  import clipart, add borders, use built-in drawing tools,
          use either Type1 or TrueType fonts, and print business cards in a
          heartbeat. $5

          GR-3009 CHARTIST. This outstanding  program  will  allow  you  to
          create,  edit  and  print flow charts or organizational charts in
          either portrait or landscape orientation. Any  Windows  installed
          font  can  be  used.  Bitmapped  pictures can be imported. Sample

          need.  It  handles  salaried,  hourly,  commissions,  salary plus
          commissions, tips, part-time, contractors, occasional  employees,
          2  overtime  rates, bonuses, etc. Includes all federal, state and
          local tax tables which are customizable within the system. Up  to

          GR-1028  MEDLIN ACCOUNTING. This series of programs is considered
          one of the top accounting programs. It is very easy  to  use  and
          contains almost everything you will need in the way of accounting
          software.  Included  is  Accounts  Payable,  Accounts Receivable,
          General Ledger, Payroll, and Invoicing. $5

          GR-1927 BIG FINANCIAL CALCULATOR. This  is  my  favorite  of  the
          financial   calculators.   Whether   you   need  an  amortization
          schedule, want to know how much regular savings  will  amount  to
          down  the  road,  or any other of some 50 financial calculations,
          BigFin will do it. Great looking reports and  many  whistles  and
          bells. $5

          GR-0579  BUSINESS  LETTERS.  Included  on this disk are a host of
          boilerplate  business  letters.  Simply  plug  them   into   your
          wordprocessor,  modify  them  to meet your requirements and print
          them to your printer. $5

          GR-1026 CARDEX. While we can access much  of  the  data  we  need
          from  our accounting system database, our accounting system isn't
          the best phone directory. My favorite of  all  I  have  tried  is
          CARDEX.  It's like a Roll-O- Dex on your computer. In a keystroke
          you can find any of those important phone numbers. There is  also
          a  memo  field  where  you  can  add  notes about each record. My
          customer service gal couldn't get along without CARDEX. $5

          GR-1676 SHAREWARE GUIDE. This evaluation of hundreds of shareware
          programs is an  excellent  tool  to  help  you  track  down  that

          about it. $5

          GR-1515 WHAT's IN THAT BOX? This,  along  with  #GR-0003  can  be
          really   helpful   in  introducing  employees  (or  perhaps  even
          yourself) to the wonderful world of DOS. $5

          GR-0003 LEARN DOS. This is  a  primer  for  the  individual  just
          getting  involved  with computers. It is an absolute must for the
          beginner. $5

          GR-1848 AMTAX. This is one of the best of the do-it-yourself  tax
          preparation  programs.  Rather  than  have  your CPA prepare your
          taxes  each  year,  simply  enter  the  data  requested  by   the
          incredibly user friendly AMTAX, print your tax forms and let your
          CPA review it and sign his name to it. It saves a bundle. We have
          AMTAX  for  tax years beginning with 1988. Request the particular
          year you want by ordering  GR-1848-1992  (or  whatever  year  you
          wish).  We  receive the new copy from the author in late November
          each year. $5

          GR-3010 GAMES. I don't have a lot of time for  games,  but  I  do
          occasionally  take  a  break and relax with one of several games.
          This disk has all of them (except for Solitaire which comes  with
          Windows)  on  it  - my favorites are: DARNIT - the most addictive
          game I have ever played; KLONDIKE, an outstanding solitaire  type
          game;  MAJONG,  an  incredible  Chinese board game; SEAHUNT, like
          Battleship; Wheel of Fortune - you certainly know what  that  is;
          and Blackjack. $5

          GR-1231  PC DRAFT CAD. I don't use a CAD program, but I have many
          customers tell me that this is the  best  reasonably  priced  CAD
          programs  around,  if  you can't afford AutoCad at some $3,000. I
          have seen some of their output and it is incredible. $5

          GR-1923 HOME &  BUSINESS  LEGAL  GUIDE.  Included  are  over  260
          ready-to-go  legal  forms  for  business and personal use. Simply

          will. $5

          GR-0242  EDNA's  COOKBOOK.  Another  program  that  doesn't  have
          anything to do with printing, but everyone eats and  this  is  my
          favorite  cookbook  program.  If  someone  gives  you a bushel of
          tomatoes, simply search for "tomatoe" in the  cookbook  and  find
          (and print) all the recipes that call for tomatoes. Also see Disk
          #GR-1837  -  a  4-disk  set  that  contains over 3,000 additional
          recipes for this program. $5

          GR-1837 EDNA's COOKBOOK RECIPES. Over 3,000 recipes for the great
          recipe program, Edna's Cookbook. A 4-disk set. $20

          them, how much they cost, and in which room they are located.  In
          the  case  of  a  theft,  fire,  or other disaster, the insurance
          company will love you. Lets you make all kinds  of  reports.  One
          interesting  thing  about this program is that you will be amazed
          at what the  cost  and  replacement  value  is  of  all  of  your
          possessions  -  business  or  personal.  You're  richer  than you
          thought, and Personal Inventory will prove it. $5
