- * Sell More Software: Marketing/MIS for Software Developers
- ************************************************************
-
- The Sell More Software program is a personal computer system designed to
- facilitate the marketing, sales, and administrative activities involved in
- selling computer software. Created specifically for software developers and
- value-added re-sellers, the program helps to plan projects, track contact
- with prospects and clients, track support, and print custom letters and
- forms.
-
- The program saves you time by simplifying many routine tasks. For example,
- when you enter a client's order, the program makes it easy to create a
- product label, mailing label, and invoice. The revenue information is then
- passed to the general ledger module.
-
- The program's extensive set of reports help you to review trends in sales and
- support, plan future projects, control expenses, and manage your time more
- effectively.
-
- The Sell More Software program is part of the Droege Software Series, a
- complete line of information management programs. Some of the important
- features are described below.
-
- Complete Contact Histories. The Clients and Prospects file maintains a
- record of each contact, thus preventing you from forgetting a client or his
- needs.
-
- Next Marketing Step. The program keeps track of the next contact date for
- each client, thus assuring that you always know when to make the next call
- or send the next letter.
-
- Software Support Tracking. The Support record tracks support for each
- client. The separate Error Tracking record lets you keep up with problems
- and solutions.
-
- Project Planning. The Project Planning module helps you track hours spent
- and status of each project. It also helps to monitor expenses with the Cost
- Analysis report.
-
- Mail Merge. The Mail Merge feature automatically merges name and address
- records with your own letters. The ability to rate your prospects simplifies
- mass mailings. Laser fonts are supported, thus permitting high quality
- output.
-
- Reports. The program's reports help you to manage your sales, marketing, and
- administrative functions. Reports are listed in the functional checklist.
-
- Flexibility. The Sell More Software program can be customized to fit your
- company's particular needs.

- Will not allow you to open enough files, get a push_scr() error when there
- shouldn't be one or locks up, or you will get multiple errors when
- opening files.
-
- Problem is the "Share" command is executing either automatically or because it
- is in the autoexec.bat file. The "Share" command should be in the Config.sys
- file!
-
- 1. Locate the directory where SHARE.EXE is. It should not be in the root
- directory!
- 2. change config.sys file:.....
- references in SHELL command should be to the root directory
- SHELL=COMMAND.COM /p /e:1024
- add the following to the config.sys file
- INSTALL=C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /F:4096 (the default is 2048)
-
- This command increases the amount of space DOS allocates to DOS record and file
- space.

- * Shareware Definition *
- ************************************************************
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
- If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
- register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
- while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration,
- you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an
- updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
- below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
- authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there
- are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
- the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example,
- some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor
- may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
- software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
- Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
- can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
- Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-

- * Disclaimer - Agreement *

-
- Users of Sell More Software must accept this disclaimer of warranty: Sell More
- Software is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed
- or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
- and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages,
- direct or consequential, which may result from the use of Sell More Software.
-
- Sell More Software is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
- user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do
- not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of
- "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality
- software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers
- to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and
- find that you are using Sell More Software and continue to use Sell More
- Software after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment
- of $100 to Droege Computing Services, Inc.. The $100 registration fee will
- license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat
- this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used
- by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to
- another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location
- while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two
- different persons at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of Sell More Software must register and pay for their
- copies of Sell More Software within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Droege
- Computing Services, Inc..
-
- Anyone distributing Sell More Software for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact Droege Computing Services, Inc. at the address below for
- authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to
- distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
- shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
- Sell More Software immediately (However Droege Computing Services, Inc.
- must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date
- with the latest version of Sell More Software.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of Sell More Software along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they
- find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the
- latest version of the Sell More Software system.
