- From: MARK WOOLWORTH
- To: ALL
- Subject: DCF/2 TECH SUPPORT
-
- As I promised last night, I would have further information on the
- Proportional Software DCF/2 program tonight. For those of you
- that missed last nights message, DCF/2 is a disk compression
- program written from the ground up for OS/2. It supports both
- FAT and HPFS partitions, and will work across a LAN.
-
- As I stated last night, Proportional Software has been overwhelmed by
- the volume of orders. However, things are being done as quickly
- as possible to prepare to fill the orders.
-
- One of the reasons DCF/2 was held back was that they realized that the
- tech support staff would be completely buried, if just a small
- percentage of the people receiving DCF/2 called in for support.
-
- I have joined Proportional Software, as head of tech support. In
- addition to making sure that the tech support department is
- fully staffed, and that the people answering the phones are
- fully qualified, we are going to bring a 24 hour BBS online.
- Prompt answers are promised. We will also have a toll free tech
- support line during normal business hours. Additional support
- programs are also being worked on.
-
- Development of DCF/2 has continued, and so many additional features
- have been added, that the first version to ship will be version
- 1.1 (or later).
-
- DCF/2 will be shipped before Christmas. Orders will be shipped in the
- order received. You may place your order now at 1-800-666-4672
- (666-4 OS/2). Tell them Mark sent you, and you will get the
- introductory price of $99.95 if you call before New Years. Call
- after that, and the price will be $129.95.
-
- Orders with checks or money orders can be mailed to:
-
- Proportional Software Corporation
- 1717 Linden lake Road
- Fort Collins, CO 80524
-
- Credit cards will not be charged until your order is filled.
-
- Dont forget, tell them Mark sent you, and save yourself $30.
-
- There are many exciting things under development at Proportional
- Software, and everything is being written exclusively for OS/2.
- I will do my best to keep everyone informed of all of them as
- the time arrives.
-
- Due to my acceptance of the position with Proportional Software, I will
- no longer attempt to quote statements from competitors line
- Stac Electronics, who makes Stacker, I will state Proportional
- Softwares policies and features, and let Stac talk for themselves.
