With the  software  library  reaching  over  800  disks  and  rising
    steadily the task of deciding which particular programme will suit your
    needs has become to say the least formidable.  To solve the problem  we
    will  be  providing an interactive data base to members.  Your going to
    love COMPU-FIND.

       COMPU-FIND has been written by Brian Williams who runs the  Northern
    branch  of  COMPULINK.   The programme is entirely menu driven and very
    fast.

       The data will be arranged into chapters  (each  data  disk  being  a
    chapter)  and  each  chapter  will  contain  1  or  more  categories so
    searching for that special DOS utility will be that much quicker.

       Each programme will have a page in a chapter.   Data  on  each  page
    will  include  Filename, Date of Creation, Size of File, Category (i.e.
    COMMUNICATIONS, FILE  UTILITY  etc.)  the  Fido  File  Area  where  the
    programme  can  be  downloaded  from  and  a  full  description  of the
    programme and its functions.

       A fully comprehensive search facility exists within  the  programme.
    Programmes  can be located by File Name, File Extension, Category and 3
    Description  variables  can  be  used  to  interrogate  the   programme
    description.  Results can be displayed on screen or printer.

       Once  you  have  found the programme you are looking for you will be
    able to place it in an order file and then print your disk  order  form
    from  within  the programme.  In addition there will be 2 forms of disk
    catalogue  available  at  the  print  menu,  one  displaying  all   the
    information  about  the  the  contents  of  a  disk  and one with brief
    descriptions.

       The programme will come complete with a bound manual  and  extensive
    onscreen  help  is  available.   A  telephone support line will also be
    provided.

       The programme is due for release in the first week in June 1986  and
    the first chapter will accompany the programme.

       You  would expect to pay any where from 200-500 pounds for programme
    of this caliber but we  will  be  making  the  programme  available  to
    members  for  only  25  pounds  sterling  and  this includes chapter 1.
    Additional chapters will cost 3 pounds sterling.

       Prior to release you will receive an order form for  COMPU-FIND,  be
    sure  to  mail  it  in  promptly,  judging by the response of those who
    attended COMPULINKS first meeting in April at County Hall , demand will
    be heavy.

       We  will  welcome  legitimate  criticisms  and good ideas for future
    enhancements.  After all COMPULINK is your  user  group  and  the  more
    participation we get from members the greater its success.

       COMPU-FIND  will  place  COMPULINK  firmly at the fore front of user
    groups in the U.K if not the world.

       Your going to love COMPU-FIND.
