                TRUE ACCESS TO ALL THAT SOFTWARE

With  the  software  library reaching over 800 disks  and  rising
steadily the task of deciding which particular program 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 COMPUINK.  The programme  is  entirely  menu
driven and very FFFFFFAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTT.

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 program. 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  May  1986
and the first chapter will accompany the programme.

                      HOW MUCH WILL IT COST

You  would  expect  to  pay any where  from  200-500  pounds  for
programme  of  this calibre 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,  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.
