FINISH LINE

FINISH a LINE with a Single Key!

Automatically Learns the Words and Phrases YOU use

FINISH LINE for DOS enhances WordPerfect, Word, Lotus, Brief, Edit, ProComm,
Crosstalk and hundreds of other IBM-PC compatible programs in text-mode.

FINISH LINE for Windows enhances Word, WordPerfect, Excel, Ami Pro,
Visual Basic and hundreds of other Windows Applications

FINISH LINE(tm) is software that makes using your PC faster and easier by
allowing you to Finish a Line with a single keystroke. FINISH LINE
automatically learns your style and vocabulary as you type, then shows
likely words and phrases in a window. Unlike keyboard macros, it requires
NO set-up commands and no Hot-Keys to remember.

Simply use your computer and favorite application programs as normal.
As you begin typing a word or phrase that FINISH LINE can predict,
FINISH LINE displays the possibilities in a window. You can press a
single key and FINISH LINE will complete the word or phrase for you.

FINISH LINE for Windows works with most Windows programs. However it
does not work with DOS programs (even those executing under Windows).
FINISH LINE for DOS works with most DOS programs and can be run directly
from DOS or as a DOS application under Windows. (You can even
simultaneously run FINISH LINE for Windows and FINISH LINE for DOS).
Thus, there is a version of FINISH LINE for nearly any PC application.

Both versions use the same dictionary file format so words and phrases
learned by one version CAN be transferred to the other. You can use the
FINISH LINE menu to display or print an Order Form for both DOS and Windows
versions, (including a special discount if you order both!)

Full-function evaluation versions of FINISH LINE for DOS and FINISH LINE for
Windows are available from many bulletin boards and shareware distributors.
