- Cortex Expert System Shell
-
- Cortex is an expert system shell that can be implemented and used
- by people who do not possess programming skills. Knowledge bases of up
- to 1000 questions and 1000 solutions may be built up incrementally using
- only plain English, and additions to the data do not necessitate a
- restructuring of the exising information. Questions and solutions may
- be put into the knowledge base in any order.
- Cortex recognises that a user may not possess all relevant infor-
- mation and that a problem may have more than one solution. "Don't know"
- answers to questions are treated as meaningful, and a complex problem
- can receive two or more solutions ranked in order of reliability.
- Cortex version 1.6 is a compact DOS-based program requiring only
- 270k of disk space. It is suitable for the smaller business and for
- departments within corporations. Version 1.6 is not a large
- interconnectable corporate system.
- Cortex costs £50. A 30-day evaluation disk is available for £5.00.

- #Graphics Server NT
- Graphics Server - programmable graphs for Windows and Windows NT.
-
- With Graphics Server you can integrate a full range of business and
- scientific graphs and charts into your Windows application - and
- distribute the runtimes royalty-free.
-
- In April 1993 a comparative review of five graphing programs in Windows
- Tech Journal concluded that 'Graphics Server is the most sophisticated
- ...and would be my choice for general use'. PC Magazine in Sept '93 said
- 'You won't find an easier way to add charting to your Windows apps'.
- Microsoft even licensed a version for the graphing in Visual Basic.
- Graphics Server links as a DLL to C/C++ from all suppliers, SQL Windows,
- Superbase, Paradox, Ingres 4GL/Windows, Turbo-Pascal, you name it.
- It includes an FLL for FoxPro and a graph class for Visual C++ and an
- updated version of the VBX for Visual Basic.
-
- Our first graphs were for dBASE in 1984. The latest release includes a
- full 32-bit version for Windows NT and an OLE server for Windows 3.1.

- #MailFlow
- MailFlow sorts mailing lists for the Mailsort scheme,
- in which the Royal Mail offer discounts of up to 25% for
- mailings in excess of 5000 letters or 1000 packets.
-
- A consistent series of procedures allows you to import comma-
- delimited ASCII or SDF files, define name and address fields,
- preview labels on-screen, sort and then print labels
- (or export to an ASCII file for, say, MailMerge).
-
- Mailsort is based on the postcode, but those codes are often
- missing from an address - or worse still, incorrect.
- MailFlow Plus is particularly good at guessing the residue
- selection from the rest of the address (saving more money).
- Other handy features include pre-calculating the cost of a
- mailing, printing labels 'many across' and restarting a print
- run at a specific postcode.
-
- There are two versions. If you mail to less than 15,000 and
- go without the twelve-months telephone support, you can save £230.

- #QuickTax for Windows
- Q. Why buy a tax program when the Inland Revenue will calculate
- all your taxes for you free of charge?
-
- A. Because self-assessment is on the way.
-
- Quicken are introducing their software early in advance of
- taxation changes. However, we recommend you bide your time before
- buying QuickTax. Wait till Quicken has ironed out all the bugs -
- we found plenty.
-
- That said, Quicken have done an excellent job of turning the Inland
- Revenue's forms from paper into electronic format. The "interview"
- mode does guide the uninitiated through the forms step-by-step.
-
- There's a "What-If" facility to help you minimise tax by, say,
- switching allowances between husband and wife. But the program
- doesn't actually give you advice and the scope for saving tax
- is very limited.
