Author/Publisher Information:
-----------------------------

Bristol Computing Systems, Inc. was formed by two computer software
professionals who have over thirty years combined experience in the
computer industry, much of that time working exclusively with PC's.
During the course of that time they have had occasion to train many
individuals from the seasoned professional to the new user. Their
goals include making computers easier for the novice to use and more
efficient and less error prone for all users. This program has been
found to meet these goals as well as increasing productivity allowing
you to get the most out of your computer.

They each own a personal computer and are accustomed to working with
top shelf software products. Top shelf software products can be too
expensive a proposition for the typical home user. This helped in
shaping their goals to develop high quality software at a price that
is easily affordable for home as well as office use. Thus Bristol
Computing Systems slogan:

"Reliable Software Products at a Reasonable Price"

disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.

If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you can
receive updates for an entire year for only $5 (this helps to offset
our costs). To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name
