Description:
This disc contains 2,500 different software programs.  If you are thinking about simply listing the names of these programs on your printer, make sure you have plenty of paper -- the listing alone goes on for over 40 pages.  There is something for just about anyone who uses an IBM or compatible personal computer and is interested in exploring available shareware and freeware programs.Software in a wide range of application and utility areas is packaged on this disc, including:  line and text editing, data communications, personal and business finance, hard disk utilities, graphics, device drivers, educational programs, word processors, macros, spreadsheet templates, databases, accounting and bookkeeping, source code, games (we lost count of the number of spacewar-type games), and miscellaneous programming utilities.Instead of investing hundreds of dollars in a mainstream software package, it often makes more sense to see what software is available in the public domain.  No more long-term logons to bulletin boards, no more collections of floppy disk software, no more hard disks cluttered with miscellaneous programs.  The low price of this disc means that you can try out these programs for less than a nickel each!

Two standard, authoritative reference books -- the McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia and the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms -- have been integrated onto one, easy-to-use CD-ROM disc.  This compact and fast reference set brings you concise, accurate, authoritative coverage of all the physical, earth and life sciences, plus engineering, all at the touch of a keystroke.

The Concise Encyclopedia contains over 7,300 signed articles covering all aspects of science and technology, from astronomy to zoology.  It is based on the internationally acclaimed 15-volume McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology.

The third edition of the Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms includes 98,500 terms and 115,500 definitions selected and reviewed by authorities in specialized fields.  Over 4,000 pages of these two reference standards are included on the single CD-ROM disc.

In addition to this reference material, the search and retrieval software that is included lets you locate -- within seconds -- all of the information relevant to any descriptive word or phrase.  

Articles may be browsed, read, printed, or copied to a file.  Illustrations can be viewed on the screen or printed.  Special dictionary functions let you view definitions while simultaneously reviewing articles.  On-line Help screens lead you through all phases of a reference session.
