I know this group probably is mostly interesetd in technical products, but
you may find some of the products in this database of interest:
ATTENTION ALL SOFTWARE USERS - NEW SOFTWARE PRODUCTS DATABASE
We have developed a searchable database of information on over 1,500 micro
software products. This database can be searched by category and
subcategory, by product name, by company name, or by keyword.
Products meeting your search requirements are displayed with a 3 line
capsule description - you can then choose a product and see up to SEVERAL
PAGES of information about it, system requirements, and pricing. You can
also buy most of the products through us (or anyone else, of course).
Almost all the major commercial products are included for DOS & Windows
along with many Mac & some UNIX products. Hundreds of lesser known
products and programming libraries are also included. We've listed a small
sample of some products below.
Our database has an easy to use full screen interface and has been well
received (a major corporate software vendor has asked us about converting
their paper catalog using our system).
In order to distribute this database as widely as possible on a very small
marketing budget, we are selling it for $16.00 INCLUDING POSTAGE AND
HANDLING. You can try the database out ONLINE by dialing our bulletin
board at 617-581-5287. And there is a 60 day money-back guarantee - just
return the diskettes for a refund.
You can call us to order the Software Products Database at 1-800-714-6746,
order it through our BBS (pick the ORDER option), or you can order by mail
(check, Visa, MC): Infoboard, 3 Grant Road, Swampscott, MA.
For more info send email to rfrenkel at world.std.com (Internet) or 1:101/155
(fidonet), or call. Quarterly updates will be available, and you can get
them free if you order products from us.
