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 Place-Name-Index offers quick and convenient access to more than one million place names collected from the quadrangle maps of the
U.S. Geological Survey.
By using the Place-Name-Index you can, for example: locate all the schools in a specific county, or all the places with a given word in their name, or find all the caves in a selected state or county. The applications for this new tool are almost unlimited.
The information stored for each record includes: place name, state, county, feature type, FIPS code
(state/county), elevation (when available), longitude/latitude, quadrangle map name and serial number.
Virtually all of the important map features are included, such as: populated places, locales, hospitals, schools, cemeteries, dams, canals, airports, lakes, rivers, valleys, trails, parks, caves and beaches. Data on the disc is current as of January, 1988.
Anyone with a major map collection will find the Place-Name-Index indispensable in organizing the collection, and providing a primary reference source to individual maps.
