WELCOME!

            Welcome to Uncle Hanks Shareware Reviews Issue #11

            Although I  have  always  distributed  my  newsletter in
       printed form, I decided to try a different approach  as  well
       this time.  I'm using a nifty program called Writers Dream by
       Jeff   Napier.   This  easy  to  use  progam  allows  you  to
       distribute ANY text,  book,  newsletter, price list, catalog,
       etc.  as a menu driven program.  In issue #7 I did  a  review
       of  a  program called ALMANAC where I did mention how WRITERS
       DREAM was used to create it.   The latest version is ver 4.20
       and can be found with a file name of DREAM420.ZIP.  Look  for
       it  if  that sounds like a good idea to you.  The "books" you
       create  can  then  be  distributed  as  shareware.   A  small
       investment could bring you some extra money!

            To order either the Printed Edition or the Disk Edition,
       print out SUBSCRIB.TXT or SUBSDISK.TXT.

       ***  Have you  noticed  how  prices  for computer componenets
       have dropped quite a bit lately?  Now might be  the  time  to
       think  about  upgrading.   I've seen decent sound cards going
       for as little as $65 and  CD-ROMS  as low as $170.  These two
       items alone will greatly enhance your system.   Look  around,
       there are some great deals.
       
       ***  I'm  always  asked  about selling shareware disks.  I've
       given it a lot of thought  for  some time, but I really don't
       have the time for such a venture.  After all, this is just  a
       hobby!    However,   I   have   decided  to  offer  shareware
       collections on disk for  $2  per  meg.  These collections are
       available  in  different  catagories  and  sizes.   For  more
       information, please write to me.
       
       ***  The long awaited version 15 of PCBoard is  now  out  and
       installed  on  Uncle  Hanks BBS.  This upgrade offers quite a
       lot of improvemnets and  additions,  and it's been keeping me
       busy.  I just wish I had enough time to do all the  things  I
       want,  but  the  kids  have to eat so I still have to keep my
       "day job"!  Maybe I'll hit the lottery one of these days!!
