FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MORGAN DAVIS GROUP IS COMMITTED TO APPLE MARKETS
SAN DIEGO, CA., FEBRUARY 20, 1989 -- Morgan Davis, published
writer and software developer, has created the Morgan Davis Group for
the benefit of Apple II and Macintosh owners. This venture involves
the acquisition of two Apple II communications products previously
distributed by Living Legends Software. The programs, ModemWorks and
ProLine, both created by Davis, are now actively marketed through the
Morgan Davis Group as part of the Power Tools software series. The new
company will also release titles for the Apple II and Macintosh
computers.
"Innovative, quality software is difficult to sell on those
merits alone," Davis admits. "Competent, aggressive marketing and
expedient customer support before and after a sale are key ingredients
for a product to be fully successful. Software such as ModemWorks and
ProLine deserve the professional handling that the Morgan Davis Group
provides. This kind of attention establishes the solid foundation upon
which future products are being created."
ModemWorks is a communications construction set allowing BASIC
programmers to create bulletin board systems, terminal programs, and a
multitude of modem-related applications. Since ModemWorks cleanly
integrates with Applesoft, it offers tremendous flexibility, outfitting
programmers with complete control over an internal or external modem.
With English-like commands such as HANGUP and WHEN NOT ONLINE GOTO,
programmers avoid PEEKs, POKEs, and machine language CALLs. The
language even sports built-in XMODEM protocol, compatible with popular
terminal programs. ModemWorks: $59.95, includes program disk, and
160-page manual.
ProLine is a networked electronic-mail and conferencing system,
the first ever created for the Apple computer. Developers and special
organizations rely on ProLine to maintain communications between
customers, clients, and close friends. Among these include: Beagle
Bros, Applied Engineering, Carolina Systems, the United States Navy,
schools, and hobbyists. Because of its unique design, a ProLine system
is infinitely expandable and easily maintained with practically no
operator intervention required. Adding new features is as simple as
writing a BASIC program. ProLine is an easy-to-use BBS or a powerful
online environment, depending on a caller's tastes. But its most
valuable attribute is the ability to transfer electronic mail with
computers in the ProLine network, as well as with other networks such as
UUCP, Internet, and BITNET. ProLine: $195.50, includes installation and
program disks, installation manual, and 150-page online operator's
manual.
ModemWorks and ProLine run on all Apple II-series computers
under ProDOS, and are available now. Customers should request 3.5" or
5.25" disk formats, and include $3 for shipping in the United States, or
$12 elsewhere. California residents add 7% sales tax. Please call for
more information. Dealer inquiries welcomed.
