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!

If you are involved in the world of computers, Computer Library is likely to become one of your most important resources. It is a database containing the full text of a year's worth of the leading computer publications, all on a monthly updated CD-ROM disc.
Full text of the following publications are included on Computer Library:
• PC Week
• PC Magazine
• PC Tech Journal
• MacUser
• Government Computer News
• Lotus Magazine
• Digital Review
• Microsoft Systems Journal
• A+
• Communications of the ACM
In addition to these publications, Computer Library also contains abstracts of computer related articles from over 110 other periodicals, like Infoworld, Data Communications, Computer Reseller News, and Datamation. Altogether, each disc covers more than 43,000 articles that have appeared in the last 12 months.
Computer Library includes BlueFish search software that makes it easy to locate the exact information you need. Just enter the topic you are interested in, and BlueFish rapidly locates all the articles that mention that topic and makes them available for your instant retrieval.
Information is only useful if it is accessible. And let's face it, keeping up with new developments in the industry by accumulating huge piles of magazines on shelves and in closets -- or endless loose scraps of articles -- is not particularly effective. Computer Library is the perfect solution to this problem. It will improve the productivity of anyone who is professionally involved with buying, managing, supporting, marketing, or developing computer hardware and software. Once you begin using it, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.
