   INTRODUCTION

   This  file  introduces  selected software products of  J.  W.  Olsen 
   /  Advocate Enterprises, Ltd., and outlines the methods under  which 
   they  are distributed. The final section may be printed as an  order 
   form to request an end-user license or upgrades. (For other than the 
   single-site  or single-user license outlined in the main HELP  file, 
   or  for  distribution rights, please contact us. Address  and  phone 
   [voice  and  24-hr.  modem] information appears  in  the  order-form 
   section.)

   J.W.  Olsen  /  Advocate Enterprises, Ltd.,  has  developed  diverse 
   commercial  software products for clients, graphic artists  and  the 
   general  computer public since 1985. Other than  dedicated  software 
   expressly  written for a client, products come in  three  "flavors": 
   registered  for  full  usage  by the  end  user,  demonstration  and 
   shareware.  These  categories,  as  well as  a  sampling  of  recent 
   products,  are outlined below. For further information on  these  or 
   custom products, please contact us.

   REQUIREMENTS

   OPERATING  SYSTEM:  MS-DOS/PC-DOS (v. 2.0 or higher)  or  CP/M  (any 
   version--be  sure to specify computer make/model for  proper  screen 
   codes).
   MEMORY: 128K (MS-DOS/PC-DOS) or 64K (CP/M).
   DISK CAPACITY: One floppy and/or one hard disk.
~  (Section 2)
   PRODUCTS LIST

   (Note: The following codes regarding available versions apply below: 
   [R]  registered; [D] demonstration; [S] shareware;  [F]  forthcoming 
   soon. Important: Forthcoming product prices are ADVANCE  RESERVATION 
   opportunities and will be notably increased upon formal release. All 
   information and prices are subject to change without notice.)

   QUICK EXTRACT: An essential tool for writers and software developers 
   ("programmers"),  QEXTRACT efficiently gathers and  copies  selected 
   passages  from  one file to another without affecting  the  original 
   file.  May  be used as simply as entering  filenames,  yet  provides 
   various  options  for  those  who need  or  want  them.  Works  with 
   virtually  ANY word processor or text editor. A "must-have"  utility 
   for anyone who works with text files of any kind. [R][S]

   HELP: A collection of three separate programs for the price of  one. 
   You're  using  a HELPX program right now (slightly modified  to  run 
   only  QORDER's  text file). HELP is an identical program  for  times 
   when users don't need access to printer output options. TEXT.COM  is 
   a very small, very fast, single-file alternative for quick help. (If 
   a self-running README.COM program accompanies the program you're now 
   using, it's a copy of TEXT.COM.)
          All three programs simply execute ordinary ASCII text  files. 
   HELP  and  HELPX automatically format screen or printer  output  and 
   offer a menu-driven environment. TEXT is for simpler  applications--
   often used for one- or two-screen text.
          One  copy  of HELP and HELPX can run an unlimited  number  of 
   text  files. For example, you might have one general text file  with 
   several sections, each providing a brief screen or two on, say, word 
   processing,  data processing, etc. In turn, each such section  might 
   end  with a comment such as "type HELP PROGRAMX to learn more  about 
   this  program."  HELP/HELPX automatically finds and runs  a  default 
   file  ending with ".HLP" when the user types HELP. By appending  the 
   name  of  any  file ending with the ".HLP"  suffix  (suffix  may  be 
   omitted), that file is run instead. 
          All   three  programs  are  great  for   providing   "how-to" 
   information  for  colleagues, family members and others  using  your 
   computers or for whom you provide advice and assistance. [R]

   PSDIR (for MS-DOS/PC-DOS only): Use as your everyday DIR program  to 
   provide a fast directory of filenames and filesizes without all  the 
   clutter  many alternatives offer. For example, "PSDIR \*.COM"  lists 
   all  files ending with ".COM" in the root directory of  the  current 
   drive.  But  it  really shines when you want  to  COMPARE  different 
   directories, or different groups of files in the same directory. You 
   may  select up to FOUR file specifications, displayed side by  side. 
   For  example, "PSDIR *.COM *.EXE *.BAT" will display all  executable 
   files on the current drive, something like this:

   PSDIR v. 1.xx
     Path 1: *.COM
     Path 2: *.EXE
     Path 3: *.BAT
   ==== Path 1 ========= Path 2 ======= Path 3 ========================
   PSDIR.COM   9911|YOUR.EXE 110289|YOUR.BAT    128|
   YOUR.COM   10201|               |               |
   ====================================================================
     Path 1: 2 file(s) of 20112 bytes (20K disk space)
     Path 2: 1 file(s) of 110289 bytes (108K disk space)
     Path 3: 1 file(s) of 128 bytes (1K disk space)

          "PSDIR A: C\UTILS:" might be used to check a subdirectory  on 
   your hard disk against a floppy's contents.
          If  a  single file spec is entered,  matching  files  display 
   across all four columns; if two specs are entered, matching files of 
   each are displayed two-across. For three or four specs are  entered, 
   each is given a dedicated column.
          You'll find unending uses! [R]

   EASYTYPE: The flagship of our EZSYSTEM Publishing Productivity Tools 
   for   phototypesetters   and  desktop  publishers,   EASYTYPE,   The 
   Intelligent  Word Processing to Typesetting  Translator,  remarkably 
   converts virtually any word processing file directly into a file for 
   virtually  any  publishing system. (A single copy can be  used  with 
   MULTIPLE  output devices!)  All "soft" and "hard" line  ends  (those 
   which  wrap  around  during  reformatting  and  those  which  don't, 
   respectively)  are preserved. All other codes are    translated--NOT 
   discarded  or  passed  through unchecked as  in  most  alternatives. 
   "Open"  and "Close" quotation marks are converted  perfectly.  Macro 
   keys  add  tremendous  power  if  and  when  desired.  Any  personal 
   preferences  may  be  saved  to an  unlimited  number  of  permanent 
   Configuration  Files for future use. EASYTYPE is extremely  easy  to 
   use,  yet offers the most sophisticated capabilities for  those  who 
   need or want them. Unsolicited compliments confirm that EASYTYPE  is 
   better--and  faster--than  the  comparable product  by  the  leading 
   typesetting  manufacturer  itself. You won't be able  to  get  along 
   without it. Period. [R][S]

   EASY COLUMNS: For typesetters and desktop publishers alike, this  is 
   EASYTYPE's companion to handle DATA file, whether created by popular 
   data  processing programs or by word processing programs.  (It  even 
   offers unique, copyrighted data-entry methods of its own, far easier 
   than  any you've used before.) Use EASY COLUMNS for what used to  be 
   those  UGLY  tabular projects. Tables and charts now can even  be  a 
   pleasure! [F]

   EZREMAKE:  Remember  how  problematic  it  was  to  remake  selected 
   passages after outputting type? You wasted time resetting the  whole 
   job.  Or, you output a section but missed a critical code or bit  of 
   text? Or, you set changes separately and crossed your fingers nobody 
   would  ever  use the erroneous original later? Or . . .  .Now,  with 
   EZREMAKE  those  days are gone forever. EZREMAKE extracts  ONLY  the 
   passages  you  want,  automatically accompanied by  just  the  right 
   formatting codes! QEXTRACT was derived from EZREMAKE. [R][D]

   EASY  UTILITIES: This product performs two useful functions. .  .  . 
   We  all get files too big for their liking. (For some systems,  this 
   can  even  mean outright loss of data!) One  function  automatically 
   splits  an  original  file into smaller files, by size  or  at  each 
   occurrence  of a user-determined element in the file. A  great  time 
   saver!  Works on typesetting, desktop publishing or word  processing 
   files.  . . .The second function is for WordStar lovers who  receive 
   generic  ASCII files prepared by diverse word processors.  Have  you 
   ever   wanted  to  manipulate  them  BEFORE  converting   them   for 
   typesetting  or other uses--or to apply computer spell-checkers  and 
   other   programs  which  may  not  be  available  in   post-computer 
   environments?  This  function  converts ASCII  files  to  WordStar's 
   normal  "document  mode" files, turning lines within  paragraphs  to 
   "soft"  line ends! Invaluable whether you're a publisher or user  of 
   WordStar files for general computer uses. [F]

   OTHER  PRODUCTS:  Advocate  Enterprises offers a  variety  of  other 
   software  products--available  for  public  sale  and  as   private, 
   dedicated  products.  Staff also serve as  consultants  on  computer 
   applications,  systems  and  more. Feel free to contact  us  at  the 
   address  or voice/modem phone numbers provided on the order form  in 
   the last section.

   THREE "FLAVORS": REGISTERED, DEMO, SHAREWARE

   All versions are copyrighted, but may be distinguished as follows:

   REGISTERED: Normal licenses permit a single user (at home,  office-- 
   wherever) OR all users at a single, fixed site (but not both) to use 
   a given product. Inquire for multi-user or multi-site licenses.

   DEMO:  A  "test"  copy  of  a  registered  version.  Demos  are  for 
   evaluation  purposes only, but may be freely distributed  to  others 
   provided  you  make  them available as a complete  set  and  without 
   alteration  of  any  kind except as expressly  provided  in  related 
   documentation,  and don't charge more than nominal  copying/shipping 
   charges. (For Advocate Enterprises products, we define that to  mean 
   no  more  than $10 for our products and/or any  additional  products 
   distributed with them.)

   SHAREWARE:  This  is a concept in distribution which is  growing  in 
   popularity--not a product itself--but otherwise is somewhat akin  to 
   a  "demo." The difference is it places a lot more trust in  the  end 
   user. A shareware product is essentially the same as its  registered 
   counterpart,  but is distributed under special "try before you  buy" 
   terms provided by the copyright holder. If you like the product, you 
   send  for a registration license and in the meantime freely use  the 
   shareware copy. If you can't use it, you're honor bound to erase the 
   shareware  version or pass it along to others who perhaps can.  (The 
   same distribution terms apply as for "demos," above.) And that's it-
   -nothing  to  return,  no hassles, no paperwork.  Nothing  could  be 
   simpler and everyone gains. But please note that keeping your end of 
   the  bargain is more than a legal commitment, it is an ethical  one. 
   Authors  continue to distribute via shareware (an economical way  to 
   promote  their  products) only so long as users  follow  through  on 
   their  obligation to register. If a shareware approach  doesn't  pay 
   the rent, you find products that turn commercial--and we all lose.
          Please remember that if you obtain a shareware product from a 
   third  party,  you  have NOT bought the product  or  registered  it. 
   You've merely paid someone for the convenience of finding,  possibly 
   testing, announcing availability, copying and shipping. Not bad  for 
   $10  or  so, huh? But the shareware author has, at that  point,  not 
   been paid a single penny for his or her work. (In fact, usually s/he 
   has  gone  to  some expense just to get the product to  you  for  an 
   evaluation.)  If anyone has misled you about this fact or  you  paid 
   more  than  $10  for  any Advocate  Enterprises  shareware  or  demo 
   product, please contact us and we'll take action.
          So what do you get when you do register a shareware product?
   1)  The latest, full-featured version and all associated  materials. 
   (We are among the most active developers; unlike some others, we add 
   small or large enhancements to most products virtually every month.)
   2) When appropriate for a given product (see its help program),  you 
   may  enclose  a copy of your favorite Configuration  File  of  user-
   preference  settings and they'll be included as automatic  "default" 
   settings every time you run the program.
   3)  When  appropriate, a conversion program to  alter  Configuration 
   Files  created with prior versions to the format used by the  latest 
   version.
   4) Telephone and 24-hr. computer modem call-in support.
   5) Notification of enhancements, and receipt of same for the cost of 
   copying/shipping ($10 as of this writing).
   6) For many products, a registration number which you can edit  into 
   a space provided in the order form at the end of this file. When you 
   pass  it  along  with shareware or demo files  (provided  with  your 
   registered  copy)  and others use it to place an order, you  earn  a 
   tidy Finders Fee ($15 at this writing).
   7)  The  satisfaction  which  only comes  with  integrity,  and  the 
   knowledge  that  you  are supporting  the  continuation  of  no-risk 
   shareware products.
