                Official Announcement of Product Upgrade

  dbLite Version 1.1j will be the last 1.1 verison released.  Beginning in 
  August, 1993 version 1.2a will be released.  Notices will be mailed to 
  registered users and anyone registering any version of dbLite from this 
  date on will receive an automatic upgrade to 1.2.

  The major difference in the program will be the inclusion of a note 
  attachment feature.  On any record, a user will be able to pop up a virtual 
  word processor to attach a 75 character wide by 21 line long note to that 
  record.  This feature will greatly expand the usability of the program and 
  should widen its appeal.  The simplicity of being able to create a file of 
  records by using no setup and few keys is the program's major strength.  
  Until version 1.2 its weakness was the lack of detail which could be 
  assigned to each record.  Five 35 character record fields and four 20 
  character memo fields allowed for general field descriptions to allow the 
  cataloging of contacts, customers, products, things to do, and schedules 
  but it allowed for little or no detailed explanation concerning that 
  record.  By allowing the attachment of a full-screen-sized note, 
  a detailed explanation of a record is now possible.  If you catalog your 
  customers and contacts you can attach a note to each which spells out 
  information about that contact.  If you log your products by record you can 
  provide information about the status of orders or pricing or any other 
  information which you want to retain between sessions.  If you use one 
  record for each Thing-To-Do then you will be able to detail how you are 
  progressing or give a much more detailed explanation to yourself for 
  later review.  Each time you contact someone you can make a note about 
  the session.

  The note window will include word wrap and will be as easy to use as a word 
  processor.  It will be automatically saved upon window closure.  The note 
  will be printable upon demand and will include the record and memo to which 
  it is attached.

  Again, in the spirit of dbLite, which means no setup, very few keys to use 
  to manage the program and few details to deal with to run it, the note 
  processor will open from the editing session with one key.  It will pop up 
  over the same screen, allow free form text editing with word wrap and 
  then with one key will close and save.  To print, a menu will be available 
  using the same Esc requestor as the edit mode.  

  If you use dbLite, your registration fee of $10 will now bring you an 
  increase in productivity and usability well beyond its cost.
