February 10, 1991) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************** Contact Information: ******************** If you have requested and received a full-featured registered version of a RAD Software program-- Thank You! If you are examining a review version of a RAD Software program, I encourage you to put it through the wringer; also, please feel free to upload a review version package to BBSs in your area and distribute it (not a registered version, of course) to others so they will have an opportunity to decide if they would like to register the program also. Either way, if you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to contact me at the address listed above, or at: * CompuServe, ID 74730,3526 * GEnie, RAD4 * Columbus Connection BBS Columbus, GA 1-404-687-7309 * DataLink BBS Baton Rouge, LA 1-504-778-0015 *************************************** Minimum Hardware/Software Requirements: *************************************** IBM Compatible 256K RAM DOS 2.0 or above (additional requirements, if any, are noted in the header of the program description.) **************************************************************************** RAD Software programs that are currently available for registration are as follows-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************** Home & Office: ************** MyMoney (formerly PCA) Personal Checking Account $20 * CGA or better required * Mouse supported MyMoney is a full-featured checking account program designed primarily for personal use. MyMoney can maintain up to 100 different checking accounts at a time, and each account can hold up to 10,000 transactions. If you've had the disheartening experience of trying to use other checking account programs, you'll be pleased at how this program looks and feels just like your personal checkbook register. MyMoney features all the functions you would want, including printouts, search-and- display, clearing, and voiding. When you receive your banking statement once a month, MyMoney even has a special "reconcile" option that clears and balances your account automatically! MyMoney supports the use of a mouse! Also, MyMoney has context- sensitive help screens with an on-line manual and a "quick- select" help index, word-processor capable input boxes, "point & shoot" user selection, default entries, program path memory, pop- up windows, "3-D" shadowed boxes, special date and amount entry formats, and many others features that rival and even surpass commercial versions of MyMoney at a fraction of the cost. Note that MyMoney is a MAJOR upgrade of PCA, originally released in 1986. There are significant improvements in the screen displays and features. There is also a radical difference in the approach and method of data file maintenance such that data files created under PCA cannot be converted for use by MyMoney, which is why I released it as a new program. The internal routines, however, are tried and true from years of experience under PCA's hood. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CredCard Credit Card Accounts $10 * CGA or better Required Do you keep personal registers of your credit cards like you do for your checking account? Why not? If you think about it, credit card registers are as important as checking account registers! Yet few of us go to the trouble. Why? Because frankly, maintaining any kind of financial register is a pain, right? CredCard is a powerful, convenient, and very friendly program designed to maintain transaction registers of up to 1,000 different credit card accounts, and each account can maintain up to 1,000 transactions! It can be valuable for a personal user, as well as most business users of credit cards. Aside from doing all the math for you flawlessly, CredCard is loaded with those features you like to find in any program, such as: Context-sensitive help screens, including an on-line manual and a quick-select help index; word processor capable input boxes; default entries; program path memory; extensive use of 3-D shadow boxes and pop-up windows for friendly and visually appealing displays; and many other similar features. CredCard has powerful searching features that let you define and create sub-lists of your transactions in almost any manner you wish. The search/sort routines are incredibly fast. Results can be viewed and/or printed. Powerful print options let you print any portion of your account that you wish. There are too many other features to list here, but CredCard's main strengths are that it's friendly yet powerful, and very practical. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MyStuff Personal Inventory Program $10 MyStuff is a personal inventory program designed to keep track of your belongings.

Forget about complicated mathematics or complex rafter table calculations. Let Rafters do all of the work for you with just a few simple data entries. On-line manual and on-screen hints-- with conversion tables when needed-- guide you every step of the way. ************ Educational: ************ WordHide A WordSquare Puzzle Creator $10 Based on a word game popular for many decades, this program will hide a list of words that you provide and in a random square of letters, placing the words forwards, backwards, up, down, and diagonally!

ClassWord A WordSquare Puzzle Creator, Classroom/Educational Version $20 This is a "commercial" version of WordHide. ClassWord allows you to create word lists wherein each word can have an associated definition. Puzzle printouts can have your choice of the words themselves, or the associated definitions, as the reference list.

The program flow is more professional and to the point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************** Entertainment: ************** BombAway (formerly EGABomb & VGABomb) Artillery Combat Game $10 * EGA/VGA required * Mouse Supported This is a high-resolution mouse-supported "war" game in which two people fire artillery shells at each other over hills under a moonlit star-filled sky. Generous use of random variables guarantees a unique battlefield every time you play. You can choose EGA/VGA screens, sound options, and even fine-tune the game speed to your computer! Players' performances are ranked in a scoresheet file. This is by far my best-selling program. DeduceIt A Number Logic Game $10 * Mouse Supported This program plays the popular number game where you logically figure out a random three digit number. Up to four people can play at a time. The computer will also play if you let it. The game keeps track of successive rounds and displays a final score when you're finished. An excellent challenge. ESP Extra Sensory Perception Game $5 This program tests your psychic abilities; for those more cynically minded, it provides a demonstration of how the law of averages work. You are asked to perceive (or guess) a random number from 1 to 5 as many times as you wish. As you are responding, a performance bar displays your results in real time as they vary from low to average to high. You can keep the results in a cumulative personal data file. The results are very interesting over successive trials, especially with one friend of mine who has so far scored WAY above what the law of averages say she should have "guessed". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The latest versions of the above described programs are available through: CompuServe- IBMAPP Forum (Games are in GAMERS Forum) GEnie- IBMPC Software Libraries (page 616) Columbus Connection BBS- RAD Software Section 1-404-687-7309 DataLink BBS- RAD Software Section 1-504-778-0015 NOTE: The programs may not be available in the filenames listed above because of different BBS limitations and requirements (especially CompuServe) for filenames.
