EZ-Forms PRO description:

* EZ-Forms PRO Rel. 97d Ultimate, Enterprise-Wide Electronic Forms Designer and Filler System for Windows 95/NT/3.1x!

EZ-Forms PRO is a solution for your ENTIRE ENTERPRISE. 
Focus is on Virtual Paper Forms fill-out for everone at your
location. EZ-Forms PRO's Designer and Filler "Engines" are
separated so that the forms developer may control form creation
completely. The LAN-ready Filler module is licensed
(at one low price) for use at the entire site and of course,
can fill or edit only those fields the designer allows.
(Corporate and Developer Licenses also available.)
In addition, EZ-Forms PRO Designer and Filler modules are "code-locked"
to each other, so that no other licensee of EZ-Forms may access your
forms unless they have your Filler. This provides for the ultimate in
security for sensitive applications. The Corporate and Developer
Editions are also Internet and Intranet enabled!

EZ-Forms PRO "Objects" can be linked into any program that is
"OLE" enabled, like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excell,
Microsoft Access, Microsoft Word, etc.

Unlike page document composition, EZ-Forms' logical object oriented
drawing tools are specifically tailored and optimized for forms
design and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get)   
interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use. Font 
size, typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission) 
are limited only by what is available under Microsoft Windows 
for your system.   For truly flexible forms production, you can 
even print the filled-in data and the form at the same time or, 
fill-out to pre-printed forms.

New Features in Release 97d include:

* Data Import and Export. (Quote Delimited, 1 file per fill-out.)
* New Command line options - Data Import, Data Export, Print, Exit.
* Increased voice technical support to one year. Unlimited for email.
* File-Open with .BMP/.DIB image file types - creates a new form and loads the image.
* Margins warning at print time for orientation or form size too large to fit on designated paper size.
* "Trace" mode (grey-out) for non-printable black-on-white scanned or imported images.
* Printable grid dots (toggles) are really handy for doing pre-printed forms overlay.
* Vertical character position follows screen view and printout more accurately on large monitors.
* "Docking" Toolbar (32Bit) allows you to move it anywhere on screen and align horizontally or vertically.
* Improved WYSIWYG with more video and printer drivers.
* Improved color rendition on images with higher resolution than local video.
* Numerous touch-ups.

Note: Some features are exclusive to EZ-Forms PRO Developer Edition. Other features are not available in EZ-Forms XL.

Other Features include:
Calculations (robust with 50+ number & logical functions),
field pick lists (annotated), field ordering, field help,
field validation, auto date, auto number, and more! 
Create, Fill-Out (internal), Fill-In (pre-printed), Modify, 
Compute, Validate, Save, ANY FORM in minutes!. WYSIWYG, 
multiple open forms, cut/paste, protected fields/objects, 
multiple object selection for move/copy/paste, OLE2, MAPI,
much, much, more. Import scanned images (even full page)
for immediate forms and effects.
* Specific Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 Installation
* Auto-Popup field Help & Picklist ... Global setting or Individual fields.
* Numerous maintenance touchups.

P.S. Our area code changed recently (Nov. 2, '96)
from 713 to 281. It has come to our attention
that some telephone central offices are not yet
programmed to recognize this new style area code.
If you have problems getting through, try area
code 713 which will be "permissive" through
April '97.
P.P.S. We've been further informed that the
Houston area may get 2 new area codes in 1998.
If you cannot get through, call 713-555-1212
to find out what our new area code may have
changed to. (What a mess?)

Important:
Our toll-free numbers are answered by operators who know absolutely
nothing about software.

  They can put a credit-card machine into warp drive, but they
  understand less about computers than most cats understand about
  quantum mechanics. They cannot advise you about software features,
  provide you with any sort of technical support, check order status,
  modify or cancel orders, pass messages along to technical support
  or customer service or transfer your call to someone more
  knowledgeable.

  They only take credit card orders. 

  If you call our order line and ask to do anything other than place
  an order, they will refer you to our main office number,
  1-281-280-9900.
  
  The main office number is available 8:00am to 6:00pm Central USA Time.

If you need to get in touch with us for any other matter, please send
e-mail to ezxorder@ez-forms.com

Our toll-free order line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We can accept orders using AmericanExpress/Optima, MasterCard, Visa and
Discover/Novus. Overseas credit cards can be accepted, as long as their
card numbers start with the digits 3, 4, or 5.  6 is for Discover, which
is USA only, so far.

*Please note:
Only the registered DRP (Designated Resource Person)
qualifies for support. After the initial support period has expired,
there may be a per-incident charge or long term contract offered.

*In other words, you support us with your registration fees, and we
support you when you need it. Fair enough, eh?

Internet Program Delivery:
Internet program delivery for ANY of our products is available
for a "Shipping and Handling" fee of $50 per program in addition
to basic cost of the program.

Payment for same MUST be made by check, money order, or wire
transfer to our bank's inbound holding account. The reason for
this is that there is no physical delivery and no way of verifying
that product was actually delivered. Sorry, no credit cards or CODs.
POs are OK, but we will invoice you and post files as soon as
payment is received.

As soon as we receive "clear funds", we will compile or assemble
your product(s) and post them in password protected .ZIP files on
a special cutomer-only internet site. There will be one file for
each installation diskette, so that all you need do is decompress
and copy to the appropriate installation diskette.

One of the best reasons to opt for Internet Delivery is that for some
countries, you can avoid customs duties entirely. There may be some
currency controls, but these are in the minority.

The next best reason is speed. We can usually post your software
within hours of receipt of clear funds.

Payment Information:
- We gladly accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus or American
Express credit cards via phone or FAX for all USA orders.
International orders require a copy of your credit card, signature
and statement be FAXed in to us.

- Your credit card will not be charged until the order is shipped.
We will inform you of availability when you place your order.

- If your organization only works with Purchase Orders (POs), send
or FAX us a copy of the P.O. We will then send or FAX you an invoice,
and ship the program(s) as soon as we receive payment (clear funds.)

- We cannot accept C.O.D orders. Please mail a USA negotiable check
or money order.

- Please allow up to two weeks for a personal or
company check to clear.

- USA negotiable checks must have the 9-digit Federal Reserve routing
number printed on the bottom in MICR ink, for us to be able to cash
them with out severe delay and cost (4-6 weeks and $50+ in collection
fees.) The check must be in US dollars and drawn on a USA bank or
a USA branch of your favorite bank. The chech must be payable through
the "New York Clearinghouser" (not a bank) for the fastest turnaround.
When in doubt, use American Express USA$ Money Orders. 

- We also accept wire transfers. Call, Email, or FAX us for details.
