- Beware the Ides of March. They warn that April and
- tax time will soon be upon us. There's no escape,
- of course, but GEnie's IBM RoundTables may offer
- the help you need.
-
- Windows RoundTable
-
- A functional demonstration version of BankExpert
- v2.2, a personal finance management program, is
- available for downloading in file #1948 WBANK22.ZIP
- from the Windows RoundTable Software Library.
- BankExpert helps you keep a record of all
- transactions, facilitates balancing your account
- versus the bank's statement, prints checks on any
- standard form including the standard checks
- supplied by your bank, and can maintain up to ten
- separate accounts. You can also set up budget and
- expense categories which can be used to establish a
- review of your income and expenditures over any
- selected time period.
-
- For a more frivolous approach to taxes and
- finances, download File #1930 BILLTAX.ZIP, a
- Windows 3.1 screen saver module depicting President
- Bill Clinton on a bulldozer, complete with sound
- effects (sound card or PC speaker driver required
- for audio). Other worthwhile downloads include
- Spelling Sentry (file #1969 SPELLSEN.ZIP), a spell
- checker for Windows Write, ASCII text and Windows
- Clipboard files, and Finder v4.0 (#1950
- FINDR400.ZIP), which adds a handy task-switching
- icon and time display to the title b ar of any
- active window. The Windows RoundTable is at GEnie
- Page 1335, keyword WINDOWS.
-
- OS/2 RoundTable
-
- OS/2 owners can turn to file #1957 TAXDPL.ZIP, an
- income tax preparation and planning program that
- runs under OS/2's Presentation Manager. A non-tax
- or finance-related program that should excite OS/2
- users is Boxer v6.0, one of the best text editors
- around. It lives up to the promise of Boxer for
- DOS, a consistently popular program and a Shareware
- Magazine Editor's Choice. It features a carefully
- designed and highly configurable interface
- invaluable to programmers, writers, and everyone
- who needs a quality text editor.
-
- Zap-O-Com (file #2068 ZOC102B.ZIP) is a
- communications program for OS/2, featuring VT100
- and ANSI terminal emulations and built-in Zmodem, a
- fast scroll back buffer, phone book, external
- online GIF viewer and many other options. When
- you're ready for a break, try Seahaven (#2093
- SEAHAVEN.ZIP), an interesting new Solitaire card
- game with outstanding graphics. All these great
- files and more can be found at the OS/2 RoundTable,
- located at GEnie page 1400, keyword OS2.
-
- LapTops RoundTable
-
- Notepad v1.8 is an application for entering,
- organizing, and viewing free-format and
- semi-structured information on the Hewlett Packard
- HP95LX palmtop computer. It has the look and feel
- of the built-in applications and uses some of the
- same file formats. Look for it in the Laptops
- RoundTable Software Library in file #4911
- NOTEPAD.ZIP.
-
- Toshiba laptop owners will want to check out file
- #4910 TSEP62.EXE, Toshiba's Special Enhancements
- Package for MS-DOS 6.2. This initial release
- supports the following models, with more to be
- added in an unreleased update: T1900 series, T1950
- series, T3400 series, T4500 series, T4600 series,
- T4700 series, and T6600C series. The Laptops

- IBM Product Support RoundTable
-
- The IBM Product Support RoundTable at Page 115 is
- the place to find the latest product information
- and support for Gateway 2000, Boca Research,
- Kaseworks, Supra, and GVC products. You'll find
- driver upgrades and price lists from these vendors
- in the Software Library. These files are updated
- frequently and, with more vendors on the horizon
