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!

The field of optical disk document storage and retrieval has experienced rapid growth over the past five years. Until recently, this development has been directed toward the basic technology that constitutes these systems. However, as they have become more accepted as solutions to existing problems -- as opposed to technical curiosities with a great deal of potential -- the need for practical, user-oriented information has increased. Optical Disk Document Storage and Retrieval Systems was written to meet this need.
This comprehensive book was written by Barry Cinnamon, a leading consultant in the optical disk field. It was published in 1988 by AIIM, the Association for Information and Image Management. The book is hard bound, and contains over 50 tables and illustrations of optical disk systems and components. It contains information on the following topics:
• Chapter One
Introduces optical disk document storage and retrieval (ODDSAR) systems. It includes information on their applications and capabilities, as well as background information on complementary records management systems.
• Chapter Two
Describes the principles of operation and applications of the basic hardware components.
• Chapter Three
Presents a similar discussion of software components.
• Chapter Four
Discusses special features that are included on some ODDSAR systems.
• Chapter Five
Presents a framework for translating a document storage, retrieval and processing problem into ODDSAR system hardware and software.
• Chapter Six
Discusses the issues that are involved in evaluating a system.
• Chapter Seven
Reviews issues that are important as these systems are developed, installed and used.
