Good Software Guide

Out Of Print... Fully revised and updated, this second edition of The Good Software Guide is published in response to the widespread demand from PC users for an authoritative source to which they can refer for guidance towards effective and proven PC software products, running under PC or MS-DOS. At the last count there were over 20,000 software products available on PCs. Some of the well-known software products have excellent functionality, but can be over-featured and too expensive for most users. Equally, some of the cheaper products are not backed by a solid organisation, and support, training and advice may be almost impossible to obtain. It contains information on over 165 software products which meet special selection criteria and which cover the following categories: accounts computer aided design communications databases desktop publishing integrated packages payroll presentation graphics spreadsheets utilities word processing. Absolute Research Ltd is an independent company that has been surveying hardware and software products in the computer industry for the past ten years, through supplier liaison, trade press reviews, and widescale user opinion surveys. Richard Jones, Chairman of Absolute Research Ltd, is the editor of The Good Software Guide. He is also retained as a consultant by a number of major corporations to advise on the purchase of computer software products.
