13889::;DeskTop Set Jr. Release Notes
Why DeskTop Set Jr. is distributed free
We don't have resources to "out-market" major commercial software publishers, but we can "out-smart" and "out-design" them. The DeskTop Set's Jr. Phone Book, Calendar and Dialer are more functional and useful than similar tools from the programs such as Lotus Organizer, Ascend, Act!, etc., that range in price from $99 to $495.
This release of DeskTop Set Jr. is similar to DeskTop Set 3.0 - the program that has won all major editorial contests - PC Magazine's Editors' Choice, PC World's Best Buy (twice), highest rating among the PIMs reviewed by PC Week, Best Windows Utility and Expert Choice awards from PC World, etc. (The calendar module is more extensive.)
It is less expensive for Okna to introduce you to our products by distributing DeskTop Set Jr. free of charge than to brag about its virtues in the commercial press at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars per month.
The enclosed spreadsheet (*.xls 3.0 format) compares DeskTop Set 4.0 with the competing products. Please review this eye-popping chart. It cannot, however, convey or compare the ease-of-use and the attractiveness of the respective products. And this is why we are glad that you have DeskTop Set Jr. to judge for yourself.
The comparative chart also illustrates the differences between DeskTop Set Jr. and DeskTop Set 4.0.
We don't see the shareware publishing as a viable development path for the "mission-critical" products such as DeskTop Set. Therefore, we don't wish to inconvenience you with the "registration fees" requests or be thought of as a shareware publisher.
About half of our registered clients have upgraded from the DeskTop Set's version 3.0 to 4.0. This is 20% to 30% above the industry average and a good indication of the program's usefulness. There are no reasons to doubt that many of you would wish to step-up from the Jr. to the Sr. edition.
Calling Okna for help
Regretfully, we cannot provide any kind of technical support to the users of DeskTop Set Jr. because it is distributed free and in the quantities out of proportion with the size of our support team. The extensive on-line help and the summary of the most frequently asked questions are enclosed. The programs are time-tested and bug-free. In the unlikely event that you'll find a bug, please report it to us either by fax or CompuServe.
Using on-line help.
The on-line help manual supplied with this release is a complete, unabridged version of the on-line manual for the DeskTop Set's 4.0 commercial release. Don't be surprised when you see a reference to the feature that you don't have. The on-line manual is the best source of information about the complete product.

About Okna.
The name "Okna" means "Windows" in Russian. DeskTop Set has been designed and programmed by Konstantin Monastyrsky, Okna's founder. Mr. Monastyrsky emigrated to the U.S.A. from the U.S.S.R. in 1978.
