- Welcome to MicroExcel's informaton services hosted by its Perfect Recall
- software. Two services are provided; shareware and Internet Resources.
-
- The MX Shareware database contains detailed product descriptions,
- references to published reviews and awards for over 1300 products.
- Since not all shareware is created equal, this database makes it
- possible to narrow your selection to only the best works.
-
- The Internet Resource database provides access to Web page search
- engines and serves to store anything found on the Net; graphics,
- documents, copies of Web pages and all types of URL's. The resources
- database requires installation to your hard disk and Windows browser
- software. You may tour it from the CD-ROM but not much is availale this
- way since it requires Windows.
-
-
- -----Starting a database and accessing documentation-----
-
- The documentation for each service is a simple walk through. I know most
- people will not bother reading anything but in this case you miss most
- of what this program has to offer if the documentation is skipped.
-
- Perfect Recall is an information distribution system. You will actually
- be running four copies of it all linked together. The front end copy
- contains nothing but links to the other three: Shareware, Internet and
- Demo. Each of these has its own documentation.
-
- Select "R" to start the front end copy of Perfect Recall then select one
- of the three information services offered. Documentation can be
- accessed from inside each service by selecting "M" for MENU then
- selecting USE DOCUMENTATION. This will launch the README program which
- is running now except it will load documents specific to the service you
- came from. Selecting "H" will print a hard copy. A hard copy should be
- on hand while working with the program.
-
-
-
- -----Business Opportunity-----
-
- The installation program reinitializes databases as unregistered but
- preserves the previous owner's identification. When the next buyer
- sends in their BUYER.REG file a $20.00 commission is paid out. A
- limited multi-level marketing arrangement can make this very profitable
- for those that redistribute their registered copies.
-
- Perfect Recall is an information distribution vehicle. Both the Net
- Resources and MX Shareware Databases are examples of this. There is no
- per unit charge at this time for such use. Therefore, you may freely
- develop and distribute information using Perfect Recall as the host
- software. Should end users go on to expand on your work and register
- the program, you will make a few dollars for your efforts.
-
- After registering your own copy of Perfect Recall, simply use the
- NEWDISK.EXE program to create a virgin copy. Your reg ID will be
- embedded. A completely new information database can then be developed
- for distribution although you will probably end up buying Perfect Recall
- a second time when 50 records is reached since it won't know you are a
- registered user.
-
- Your new information service need not contain a great deal of material.
- It could just be a great way of organizing some common type of work with
- a few examples just as the Net Resource database does.
-
- The Import\Export functions enable you to distribute additional material
- either for sale or as a means to push the user over the registration
- limit.
-
- There is another way to generate income. Distribute an information
- database and withhold some of the files the database is supposed to
- access. The prospective buyer can then purchase this extended
- information separately.
-
- Perfect Recall links copies of itself together to create a single front
- end for the end user. The INSTALL.INI file allows any distributor to
- customize my install program. Your work will integrate into the buyer's
- own setup in a very professional manner.
-
- Perfect Recall can extend its file loading capabilities to any other
- application program, DOS or Windows even if the target application can
- not normally load files upon launching. Therefore, information systems
- may be developed for all types of work.
