Advanced Data Solutions announces the release of a new software program designed to help programmers market and manage their own shareware programs. Shareware Marketing and Management System (SMMS) is a unique database program combining marketing activity with program management. SMMS maintains important information about the users, those who have paid the shareware registration fee for their programs, and the distributors to whom they have submitted their programs. SMMS is more than an address file manager as it creates personalized form letters or press releases to notify distributors of new programs or to announce to registered users the availability of a new upgrade. It also allows the author to maintain a history of changes to the program. It has five reports to help the shareware author monitor program sales volume, revenue, amount collected for sales tax, types of responses from distributors and more. SMMS is easy to install and use. Users will find the menus and data entry screens easy to learn and will be aided by an on-line HELP and a comprehensive manual is included on the distribution disk. SMMS is released to the shareware market and has been distributed to a wide range of disk vendors and BBS's. The registration fee is $40.00. System Requirements: IBM Compatible computer with 640K RAM and hard disk. A printer is also required.
